Every Lag Baomer, the barbers get a raise.
ReplyDeleteThe cost of living goes up every year. What do you expect from them.
DeleteA barber should not be a job that makes you a millionaire.
DeleteWhy did you decide that a barber should not be capable of being a millionaire? A Barber should be able to make a respectful Parnasah with the ability to invest and save money responsibly.
Deletewe live in a free market. You don't have to go the barber if you don't want to. But you should definitely not tell the barber how much to charge. If they feel their value is $30+ a Haircut, that's for them to decide, and you get to make the decision to go there or not.
Why shouldn't a barber have the same growth opportunities that other blue collar store owners have?
Barbers have been raising prices a lot faster than inflation. haircuts have gone up by over 30% the past few years much faster than inflation. I have invested in a machine for about $75 dollars and watch as my savings add up!
DeleteA job is worth as much as people are willing to pay. If you dont think its worth it feel free not to be a customer. The sense of entitlement people always complain about is not the business owners its on the customers. How dare they open a business that makes so much. They should only charge as much as i think i should pay. Its nauseating the entitlement people have.
DeleteIf the barbers made up between themselves and set the price together of that's the case then that is not supply and demand they fixed the price at a ridiculous amount.
DeleteSo don't use barbers. I haven't been to one in over twenty five years. If you don't have a big fancy chup it shouldn't be too hard to cut your own hair. Even in back.
Delete@x there was no expectation in the statement made.
DeleteThere are barbers in nearby towns.
DeleteIf the heimishe barbers overcharge, halacha allows to go to eino ben brit. (Except for a child's first haircut, separate issue.)

ReplyDeletePRACTICAL IDEAS:
Establishing a board for financial oversight can ensure transparency and fairness in decision-making, prioritizing the needs of the students over anything else. Owners deserve a nice salary, but there needs to be oversight. (Some school owners take half a million dollars a year – on the record – plus who knows how much off the record.)
Tuition was not lowered after schools made hundreds of thousands on EIDL loans and PPP, and food boxes, In fact tuition went up right after those payments. Did the revenue go to the schools or was it a ‘side business?’
Buildings should not be excessively luxurious and costly. Nowadays, buildings are larger than ever before; for example, a new school building in Lakewood is likely 50-100 percent larger than most ‘traditional’ schools in New York. The mindset of “build first and figure it out later” should not be the standard practice. This approach could be acceptable only if there is a generous donor willing to fund and maintain such a massive project. Again, a board would ensure there are no ulterior motives…
Can school owners refinance their buildings or take out loans against them for investments? If a school could access $5 million in equity on a $20 million building at a 10% return in a ‘secure’ investment, it could potentially generate half a million dollars annually for the school. Again a board with financial acumen can determine this.
