Well, most charities and organisations are per definition non-profiting. (Hence not-for-profit)
But saying that they could be profitable is splitting hairs: They would be structured very differently if so.
Yes, but he's saying that those services can not be provided profitably at a low price. Which is, as TBZ points out, arrogant stupidity (a specialty of wawahwah's). And even if they were provided on a charitable basis, private charity is 233% more efficient than government programs. Which makes sense, since they're competing for charity dollars, instead of stealing tax dollars. I would counter that they could not be provided to the poor, or in detail they wouldn't be able to provide services at a negative income. So, you're basically saying the same thing: that they could not be made to turn a profit at low prices. Why? What barriers do you see to, say, low price schooling? The government itself. Namely, taxation and regulation. |

The OP is giving the Mafia a bad name. They don't break legs, they provide black market jobs for those who need them (making wallets, purses, counterfit clothing, and things like that), and keep neighborhoods clean and safe. Go visit southern Italy some time. Not even drug pushers on the street, because the Mafia has a very dim view of anyone trying to sell drugs to bambini.
Do they also provide schools (1) for normal children whose parents don't have enough money for "home schooling"? What about hospitals (2) for normal non-rich people? Orphanages (3) for normal kids without huge inheritances? Asylums (4) for crazy people without rich relatives, and all those other unprofitable things that Capitalism is unable to provide? If I had all day, I could probably come up with at least one hundred unique services that governments do but Capitalists won't do, even in a political vacuum, because they're inherently unprofitable. Well, I suppose one could, theoretically donate to 100 different charities, individually inspect their operations and finances, and kindly volunteer to pay extra because of all the other people who don't want to... But I thought Capitalism was supposed to be so much more efficient than a mixed system with some Capitalism and some Socialism -- what gives?? First off, you haven't come up with one service that capitalists wouldn't provide, much less one hundred. If you can't think of a way to make something profitable, you're not cut out to be a capitalist. Get a job working for one. I already listed four. Furthermore, those are mostly umbrella terms covering a variety of more specific non-profit services. The onus is on you to debunk, if you can. Why must you be so arrogant and stupid? Blablahblah: "If I can't think of a way to make these general services profitable, THEN NOBODY CAN!" That is the height of arrogant stupidity. |

I suspect he wants a single 4 gb so he can fill the second slot in that MBP, since OSX 10.7-8 really need closer to 8 gb than what their base models included.

I might be able to buy a used one off Amazon or eBay for you, but 1) not sure if I can ship it directly to Canada or I'd have to reship it from my place, and 2) wouldn't be able to test it even if it went to my place first.
