Well, I mean.. America is experimental capitalism. Why run anything government when it can be for profit and 'the market' will solve any and all issues with it?

It turns out 'the market' will skew in favor of making a small amount of people rich over actually improving the lives of anyone, but hey, that's freedom baby!

They're really precious about it though, so don't criticise this system out loud.

That's nice and all but the College Board is nonprofit and they administer the SAT.

It’s a multibillion dollar nonprofit who’s ceo makes over a million a year.

Do with that what you will.
