    Ill give u a free 4 GB sd card or Tall tee if u like something on FB

    http://www.facebook.com/#!/uamtn

    Like the page then,

    Like my post: Brentword Riddersen In the next Along the way segment you should dedicate it to trains in the park. That is what Breck is all about anyways. I was there a couple weeks ago and watch Bobby, Gus, and about 10 different skiers training park lane for a while and that is super fun to watch.

    Ill give someone who liked it a free 4 GB sd card OR a traveling circus tall tee.

    Thanks guys

    TGR members: I implore you to consider a few things when deciding whether to help out or not. First, I am a college student with no income. Therefore, the little funding I have goes to tuition, food, rent, and ski passes. There is an extremely small amount of excess cash to invest in items such as outerwear. Winning a contest which will provide me with outerwear may be the only possible solution to this dilemma. In addition, there is personal gain for each person who likes the post. You have a chance at receiving the previously mentioned items. Assuming it takes 20 seconds to win something worth roughly 30 dollars, this translates to $5400 dollars an hour. The opportunity cost of NOT liking my post is extremely high. This may be the easiest and most straightforward investment you will ever make.

    Thank you for your time.

    I hope this is better english than before so you will give me a few additional responses

    Amazing.

    Now I'll do it, what the fuck. This is TGR, not Newschoolers. Explaining yourself well, using proper grammar and punctuation, and laying things out so they're easy to read will bring you a long way here. Welcome, JONG. I hope you win your shit!

    The 'Opportunity cost' of...NOT doing something? Interesting. You definitely need to go into investment marketing.
    So, If I 'like' you, do I get an SD card, or do I get a chance at an SD card?

    Ha, thanks, Newschoolers is just a bunch of teenagers that can't ski I'll admit that. On the other hand, I love to ski and have no other choice than to freestyle ski being that I go to school in Wisconsin.

    Opportunity cost is simply the cost of the opportunities you give up by choosing a certain path. Like investing in college rather than working at a restaurant after high school. You give up the wages that you would have made at the restaurant and you pay tuition. So your opportunity cost is a large loss if you go to college. The future gains though must outweigh these costs though otherwise rational people wouldn't go to college.

    ANYWAYS, you get a chance at an SD card

    That is quite the fallacious argument you made but I like it. You swayed at least one guy here. If I had a facebook account I'd slap you with a like. Good luck!

    So, the title of your post is a blatant misrepresentation.

    U, (meaning) YOU, Someone, whatever. It's just that pesky language thing, right?

    I suggest another round of micro-economics. Sounds like you missed the class where they explain opportunity cost in a little more depth. That said, it was a good, if flawed, effort at explaining the term. Good on you for sticking it out, refining (in a manner of speaking) your argument, and getting entrepreneurial about your gear needs. We feel your pain ;-)

    Yeah.
    New York State Lottery summed it up, to the peril of millions of suckers, when they came up with:
    "You Gotta Play To Win!!!"

    "Opportunity cost is the cost related to the next-best choice available to someone who has picked among several mutually exclusive choices.[1] It is a key concept in economics. It has been described as expressing "the basic relationship between scarcity and choice."[2] The notion of opportunity cost plays a crucial part in ensuring that scarce resources are used efficiently.[3] Thus, opportunity costs are not restricted to monetary or financial costs: the real cost of output forgone, lost time, pleasure or any other benefit that provides utility should also be considered opportunity costs."

    Thats straight from wikipedia.

    But appreciate the love after the hate lol
