Why does every government decision cost something?

History

BabaBlast [244]3 years ago

Think about the idea here and you'll see how the idea of "cost" is inevitable in every decision.  (It's true not just of governments, but of our own decisions too -- but we'll focus on governments here.)

Let's say the government decides it wants all citizens to have access to health care.  Well, that's going to cost dollars to pay for that health care.  Where will those dollars come from?

Let's say the government decides, in response to school shootings or other acts of gun violence, to ban certain types of guns or ammunition.  That costs something to the gun dealers who were making money off those sales (and they'll object).  Or let's say the government decides to do further and deeper background checks on all gun buyers.  Well, that will cost something in terms of personnel and processes to accomplish all the background checks.  Or let's say the government decides to increase mental health screenings and treatment because persons with mental illness issues may become violent and dangerous to society.  That will cost much in order to organize and carry out better mental health intervention across the country.

I focused on just a couple issues there (health care, gun control).  But the same principle holds on anything government does.  You can think about your own examples that you'd want to use.  Anything the government decides to do comes with some sort of costs attached.  That doesn't mean it's bad to make such decisions -- it just means we need to count the cost and invest our efforts where they will have the best benefit.

What is the headright system?
ser-zykov [4K]

Question

What is the headright system?

Answer:

Well a headright system is a legal grant of land to settlers. Headrights are most notable for their role or duty in the expansion of the thirteen British colonies in North America; the Virginia Company of London gave headrights to settlers, and the Plymouth Company followed suit.

Actually, the headright system was first created in 1618 in Jamestown, Virginia. It was used as a passage to attract new settlers to the region and address the labor shortage. With the emergence of tobacco farming, a vast supply of workers was needed. New settlers who paid their way to Virginia received 50 acres of land. However, most of the workers who arrived in Virginia were indentured servants, people who pledged to perform five to seven years of labor.

ad-work [718]

The correct answer is C. collective bargaining

Explanation

Collective bargaining is a way of reaching an agreement within a group of people. Collective bargaining is generally used to establish in common agreement a position of a community to present its opinion in a specific situation, also, these groups usually have a representative who collects the opinion of all the members and expresses it in front of the counterpart to negotiate for all its represented.

He thinks his wages are low for the work that he does, so he tells the union representative that his employer should increase his wages". Likewise, his colleagues did so asking for a salary increase when the author states that, "The representative asks the other workers if they feel the same, and they all agree" and then the representative negotiated it with the employer who finally acceded to his request "The following week, the union representative met with the factory owner regarding an increase in wages, and the employer agreed to it". Therefore, the correct answer is C. Collective Bargaining.
