wad crap u tokinOriginally posted by Chelzea:nathis shld be funded by e goverment
the marginal social benefits outweights e marginal private benefit
e govt shld thus subsidise e cost of weighting machines
less weight = more healthy=more productive at work=increase in aggreate supply=GPL wld thus decrease.
this wld benefit e common man,as price of gd n svs wld decrease.futuremore a drop in GPL =increase in export competitiveness=improvement in balance of trade=improvement in balance of payments=economic growth=Higher national income=higher employment level=higher material standard of living.
After implemention of this scheme ,marginal social benefit wld be equals to marginal social cost. In the short term,people who are over weight who suffer financially as they have to pay for higher fares while bus companies would gain in terms of revenue due to higher fares. This increase in profit could be used to offset the recent spike in oil prices.
However in the long term,the huge majority would gain from this scheme.The goverment would be able to reduce healthcare spending as a loss in weight would leads to a more healthy body.Also, the general public would benefit in a drop in public transport fares as lighter bodies lead to less oil consumed.
In facts dynamic efficency could be attained as the increased profits could lead transport companies to do R&D and actually find cost cutting measure in buses.This would further increase consumer welfare.Consequently this will increase the standard of living for the common man.
In sum,e govt shld subsidise e cost as ppl wld b encouraged to lose weight which is benefical for e productivity of e workforce and lead to economic growth![]()
