Economics 001
CAN PEOPLE in supposedly responsible positions actually be as unin- formed about the basic principles of economics as they seem? ■ Not long ago, one local newspaper reported in a very large front-page story that a “popular” Chinese restaurant at the mouth of Carmel Valley was going out of business. But farther down in the story, it was reported that the reason the restaurant’s owners decided to shut the establishment was that they didn’t have enough cus- tomers. Lesson No. 1: A restaurant which doesn’t have enough customers to stay in business is not “popular.” ■ That same newspaper later reported that the future of the newspaper indus- try might lie in turning the present profit-oriented private companies into non- profit foundations. But the newspaper also reported that its own corporate own- ership said it was not even considering turning itself into a tax-exempt non-prof- it. And why not? The newspaper ambiguously reported that, despite supposedly ever-increasing losses at many of its papers, the corporation did not consider becoming a nonprofit to be “viable.” Lesson No. 2: The only possible reason to rule out becoming a nonprofit is that, rather than facing never-ending losses, the corporation thinks it can still make money selling newspapers and newspaper advertising. ■ On April 15, President Barack Obama used an apologetic tone as he took “But what do you do for a living?” note of the day income tax returns are due, and said he realized tax day is not an dead pig in the middle of the road as they are occasion most Americans look forward to. basically impossible to see at night.
