It's economically viable to have streetlights so that your consumers don't kill themselves while driving at night. Small investment to keep your market alive.
Seeing as though I know the OP, I think I can assume I know this person. Really good guy, works hard, enjoys the subject.
He does chem, physics, 4U maths, adv. english, and SOR1 on top of geo.
Nothing's too perfect. The AC argument is relying on best-case scenario. Then again mine is based on worst-case. It's all theory, as stated already. I just can't see anything stopping someone (or a substantial group of people more likely) from waging a war, but there are lots of pressures on...
I can't say that my prediction would necessarily happen, but my idea is that one company with a decent amount of cash will invest in better armament and technology. It might not necessarily mean a market monopoly (could, but I'll assume it won't), but this company may try to take control of the...
Is there some sort of benchmark for 'security' firms, similar in ways to the law (as we know it today)? From what I can gather there isn't, so there would be ambiguity in what is considered 'right'. So, there is the potential for one of these 'police forces' to arrest anyone under their...

Put it this way... fat tax: "let the government control what we eat". Plus, some people require more energy than others. Having a general tax on a particular type of food may help some but disadvantage others. It would be better to have personalised diets instead of a state-regulated...

I'm not too sure on First Fleet landing, because that was drummed out thanks to the bs yr 10 history syllabus.
A time where convicts were used in an invasion? Gallipoli. Yeh ANZACs were armed, but so were guards on First Fleet. They were shackled in Gallipoli, I think they called it 'under British command'. And ANZACs were used as a distraction so that British troops landed relatively safely.
So yes...
