A former construction worker became intoxicated one night and decided to move some heavy construction equipment that was parked

at a construction site. Ignoring "no trespassing" signs, the worker jumped the fence and climbed into a large dump truck and started it up. However, even though he knew how to operate the truck, he quickly lost control of it due to his intoxication. It rumbled a short distance and crashed into a trailer housing the main office of the construction site. The worker is prosecuted for recklessly damaging property. A separate statute in the jurisdiction prohibited the unauthorized operation of construction equipment. Should the worker be found guilty of recklessly damaging property?

Answer:

The possible answers are:

A . Yes, because his actions constituted an unlawful operation of the construction equipment.

B. Yes, because he was intoxicated while attempting to move the construction equipment.

C. No, because at most he could be found guilty of criminal negligence.

D. No, because he must have been aware that his conduct would cause the damage to the trailer in order to be found guilty of reckless damage.

The correct answer is:

B. Yes, because he was intoxicated while attempting to move the construction equipment.

Explanation:

The worker should be found guilty, since he was aware of being intoxicated from the beginning of the action, knowing in advance that when operating the heavy construction equipment there would be a great threat for the people and properties around. Besides, he was also aware about the alarming signs, due to the fact that he could not reach the dum truck normally, he had to jump the fence to reach it, increasing the risk with his actions.

rjkz [21]

All the given conditions of the previous scenario, are dynamics associated with inflation, thus the correct answer is D) increased inflation

Full employment is a <em>demand-pull effect </em>of inflation, causing people to have more money to spend on goods, increasing the demand of products which will eventually lead businesses to raise prices, so supply and demand can be balanced. The increased liquidity created by federal funding for college works similar to the above.

On the other hand, war declarations cause a type of inflation called <em>inflationary expectations</em>. Businesses begin to raise prices not because of actual changes in supply or demand or the amount of money in circulation, but due to the fear that some such changes might happen.

<h3>Why were the Chinese prevented entry?</h3>

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Poverty is a severe state of lacking something that is critical for living or wellbeing, such as a severe lack of food.

Effect of poverty on environmental

The demand to the environment increases as poverty drives people to turn to the environment to support them as they struggle through poverty .

Due to the lack of electricity for example people will turn to the environment to get wood for fire so that they can cook or keep themselves warm.

Others will overfish as they try to feed their families from fishing ; the depletion of all these resources have negative impact on the environment.

How does affluence affect the environment

Affluence refers having plenty of money to acquire a high standard of living .

As people get rich they become greedy and demand more those with businesses keep expanding them at the cost of demolishing the environment and their businesses are usually not environmental friendly but as long as they make money that is not taken into consideration.

The problems w efface by not including the harmful environmental costs in the prices of goods and services.

It has an effect on people understanding how much it actual costs to do damage control when the environment has been harmed or damaged.
