Welfare Middleman
Several colleges around the country are selling items left behind by students and donating the proceeds to charity. Dumpandrun.org is a company that sets up these massive garage sales where people can find anything from skis to a mink coat. Oh yes, and six tons of Ramen noodles.
This is a great idea, and Dumpandrun.org is to be lauded for their efforts. Unfortunately, despite the organization’s Masschusetts location, I highly doubt my alma mater would even think of using their services. Why give money away when you can use it to take out insurance policies on your students? After all, then they won’t be “dying with nothing to show for their lives” (fifth paragraph).
