If JK Rowling gets cancelled, what happens to Hogwarts? Can I buy it?
Apparently the rough estimate it costs to actually attend Hogwarts is $43,301.00 per year.
Scratch that, Hogwarts is free tuition.

However, for some reason, BigRentz calculated that Hogwarts would cost $174.5 million to actually build it.

That's way out of my budget to buy it.

Further to this, Albus Dumbledore himself was apparently worth around $2.1 million.

The most insulting thing about this thread was that I used to use $ instead of £ because of three American articles.

This is a British intellectual property, damn it!

Upon looking at "American Thought Leaders" by Jan Jekielek, he sure does have a lot of insane interviews on there. I'm not on there though so it'll never be perfect, but hey.

The "where's the protests" meme from Dems as they question why Trump supporters aren't losing their shit. All protests against Trump were organised by and for people in Washington and New York. You don't see that shit in Maine or Wisconsin. Protesting is pure privilege.
The biggest "protests" I have seen haven't been headlined by the regular Joe and Jane, they've been headlined by "bomb the White House" Madonna or Chelsea Handler or some other millionaire who is only complaining to promote their virtue for their next project.
Even the anti-Brexit protests were all coordinated by a group of Remainer representatives in meetings chaired by two members of parliament of opposing sides, and where did those meetings take place? Ten feet away from Parliament. And where did the protests take place? London.

A little thinking exercise. Something I am sure might cause some interesting issue to come to the forefront. What is the difference between salaried, commissioned, and payroll? Has anyone in the modern market place even considered carefully this interesting little quirk of econo
Let's use U.S. as an example. There are about 52wks in year. Average work week is oh. 5 days. Supposed work hours per day is about 8 hrs. So=1yr is about of 52x5x8 man hours. If we don't factor in holidays. Etc. So an average person is capable of oh. 2,080 work hours right?
Now here is the nitty gritty. We have some questions to ask. How much money could a man make depending on his position and his pay scheme? Lets compare salary to paycheck payroll. This is going to be fun. We shall pit our humble Schmogans from Schmoganville to this.

If we did M4A with Swedish style out of pocket spending ($20 co-pays with a $120 maximum annual cap) and 300 million people reached that max, that would raise $36 billion, or about 1% of the annual new cost of M4A. The difference between making it free and nominal is very small
What cost sharing is really about is dissuading people from going to the doctor. But it’s a very blunt tool for that, and it prevents both needed and unneeded care (which can increase costs down the line).
If we have to do cost sharing, the Swedish model is the way to go (much better than having deductibles and co-insurance). But I think we can do things like free nurse advice phone lines to help reduce unnecessary utilization more effectively

Giving Medicare coverage to anyone who wants it would not directly and immediately mean the end of private group health insurance plans, but it would lead to that in the long run. It would be an eventual consequence, whether intended or not.
Most of the Democrat candidates know that (and welcome a collapse of the private insurance industry). Many leftist media pundits know that too, but they are not about to make reality clear to the voters because their goal is to defeat Donald Trump, not enlighten the citizens.

Thread on the cost of Louisiana's death penalty: Government budgets - especially at the state level - are about choices and tradeoffs. There is never enough cash to fund every priority. Health care, education, public safety - all these things cost money. #lalege #lagov
2/Louisiana has had the death penalty on its books since 1977. But until very recently we never knew what it cost the state. A few years ago @JPMorrell put together a commission to answer this question. I was on it. We bogged down in politics and never finished our work
3/So Loyola law professor Bill Quigley and retired judge Calvin Johnson did the job themselves. Their report - released earlier this month - confirms what we suspected: The death penalty is very expensive. It costs the state $15.6 million per year. law.loyno.edu/sites/law.loyn…
