--- Quote from: "Whooter" ---
--- Quote from: "Dysfunction Junction" --- "I have no idea how supply and demand works.  I think 'demand' is a synonym for 'what people would like to do if they had money.'"
--- End quote ---

Lets say there are 100 beds in a program and over the past 2 years the beds go from “all full” down to 80 beds full.  That would indicate that demand has dropped. If they lower their price then the demand may rise and the beds would fill up again.  If they lower their price too much then the demand would outweigh the supply and there would be 120 people wanting to get in, etc.

Presently the economy has been hard on all businesses and they need to do what they can to weather the storm. Lay people off, close schools, lower expectations on profits, help parents get loans etc.

Hope that  helps a little.

Thanks, but I don't need any help.  I understand fully how it works.  I just wanted to point out that you don't as based on your earlier comments.


--- Quote from: "Whooter" ---So demand still remains high but fewer households can afford the treatment out of pocket.
--- End quote ---

You said "demand remains high" while Aspen is closing facilities and getting fewer and fewer enrollees.  This means "demand is low" - the opposite of what you thought before you simply copied my remarks which explain the concept correctly.

You don't know the difference between "what people would want if they could afford it" and "demand."  That's all I was saying.  And it's true.

While they're drying up I continue to send research reports about their marketing practices, false advertising, shutdowns for abuse, and the avoidable deaths of children in their care, etc to over 100 Ed Cons on my email list as well as journals, newspapers, prospective buyers, regulators and critics with visible platforms.  It's only a matter of time now.  Even Sainer bailed out.

We have this guy in town who had a bad experience with his Honda and they wouldn’t give his money back so, like yourself, he spends hours collecting bad press items from customers and accident reports and sends them out to all the dealerships in the country.  He actually managed to get his picture in the paper.  So if you are diligent then maybe you will get noticed.  Its good to have a hobby or something to motivate you during the day.

I think that's one of the major differences between you and "us".  You look at this as a business.  We look at it as what's best for the kids.  We know what goes on behind closed doors that the parents aren't privvy to and it's not pretty.

The advantage that I have is I can recognize that programs are a business and they also help people.  Hospitals are privately owned but they provide care. The 2 can work together.

Not all hospitals are privately owned and the most important thing is to provide care...not make money.
