The vast majority of students in inner city public school don’t have “parents” they have a 40 year old grandma while their baby factory of a momma is out partying and daddy is in jail or running the streets.
Again, a direct result of the govt saying “it’s okay, we will take care of your mistake”

Capitalism, y'all!
Sounds like capitalism is working perfectly. You're offering a service to a privileged few for a price that works for you ($0).
A competitor is offering a more widely available service at a price that works for them ($40).
Would you rather a communist/socialist system where the government FORCED you, and everyone else, to provide a service for a price that doesn't compensate for your work?

Inner city kids often go to free summer camps.

Maybe grandparent, oh wait, they aren't supposed to do that either.
It's funny how many of y'all live in a bubble.

$40 a day isnt greedy, the operators are probably also trying to get by in a situation that has probably also impacted their income.
Small businesses have to find a way to make it through these months if they want to keep operating.

OK.
My post is about how capitalism works, it is not a criticism of it. I'll edit the OP to clarify

Ok. I guarantee those are being offered.

I’ve already argued as to why I was against closing schools and grandparents watching kids was one of my points.
But yeah, I live in a bubble.

My entire post is about Capitalism.
I find it interesting that some people look to make money off of others when they are desperate.
It is what it is. Greed is good, etc.

No. You’re quite literally bitching about it.

I honestly feel bad for some who can't control this shite and they are not getting paid

Negative, ghostrider.
They own a dance company. We are obligated to pay monthly via a contract. They take the money out via credit card charge or bank draft.
They have said they have no intention of closing the dancing school.

Don’t enter a contract then?

Well that doesnt mean all the families will continue attending.
Kind of like how restaurants are open but seeing far less business.

Welcome back to the O-T, Pecker. Maybe you can find a way to not get banned again.
But as I've said several times, I won't be needing this service. I was just pointing it out, as a thread topic.
They take over $300 a month from me for my daughters dancing there. Trust me, I'm not priced out.

According to the O-T, it's their own fault.

They will... or they will still be charged if they don't.
Completely different model.
