Its a fine line they draw between their "non-profit" and for profit arms. I'm sure its all a house of cards with finely drawn lines between them.

Actually that is exactly what VSP had been doing for the last 5 years or so, it wasn't enough so they are doing this now - much of the reason is the massive waste of money they are realizing the...
