For a Few Dollars More

because the college athletes don’t get paid at all! That should change because, A. they work more hours than the average American does (per week), B. the NCAA is a 1 trillion dollar industry, and C. missing classes affects the value of the educaton. According to Marc Edelman at Forbes “The average American works 40.0 hours a week, but the average D1 football player puts in 43.3 hours a week!” That’s 3.3 hours more than an average American, and they don’t even get paid! An average athlete’s…

them one million dollars per year plus another six hundred thousand dollars every time a cub is born. On top of that, the money that the zoos make annually is not enough to cover the cost of the pandas (Washington Post 2). Pandas are not worth one million dollars a year, simply to look at. There are people in countries all around this world starving every day and America pays one million dollars a year to stand in front of a cage and look at a panda for five minutes. Zoos cost way more than just…

and helps the environment. Making an on-site bin composting system only costs around four-hundred dollars while giving students a great learning opportunity, unless the materials are donated, which are fairly common and should be of no issue to fund raise the costs for. Having your composting done commercially costs thirty dollars a month, or three-hundred and sixty a year, and can be much more effective at reducing waste, but robs students of a great learning opportunity. Alternatively, doing…

rendering them into a position of heightened vulnerability. This heightened vulnerability opened the door for major worldwide corporations to come in under the guise of providing aid and support and leave without delivering on their promise millions of dollars richer at the expense of the poor and displaced. The devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake of 2010 in Haiti is an excellent example of disaster capitalism at its finest. On January…

The Life Story of the Ten Dollar Bill It’s a windy spring day and you have decided to buy an ice cream cone. As the employee at the ice cream cart scoops your chocolate ice cream, you search through your purse to find money that will pay for your tasty treat. The smallest bill you have is a ten dollar bill. As you pull it out of your purse, the wind takes the money out of your hand. You chase it and finally get close enough to stomp your foot on top to stop the wild chase. As you pull it…

When I was 18 years old, I was depending most of the time of my family to take me to the places I needed to go. For that reason, I needed to have my own transportation, before starting studies at ECU University. I decided to take more hours in my job to save more money to buy a reliable car. My dream car is a Honda Civic, color gray and with a sports look. I prefer to buy and not to have a lease. My parents have a very strong brand loyalty towards Honda, because their cars are reliable, easy to…

this is bad for America since it means that those with the most money have the most influence.

They work closely with members of Congress to draft bills that support their interests, and they also attempt to influence members to…

That is because college degrees look better on your resamay than just a high school diploma. And job enployers are way more likely to hire…
