Simple equation, Big Mistake.
I wonder if debates as such come up on parliament agendas from time to time, or do we have to be part of the parliament to find out? Like,
1) How much additional tax can be reap from legalizing pot? Pros and cons. Better health care? Better roads? Better education? How would the public react?
2) How much additional tax can be reap from lowering the drinking age to 16? How about 18? Pros and cons. Better health care? Better roads? Better education?
This reminds me of a case study from Uni in which I won't name the company, but it involves either recalling cars that has design faults which could explode at impact, versus the cost of being sued. The company reckons the cost of being sued is lower, so has decided not to recall the faulty cars. Simple equation, Big Mistake.
