What economic regulation must an airline comply with in order to commence operations?
Q. All I know is it comes in the form of a license which is a separate document from the Air Operator Certificate and it is approved by an economic regulatory authority. This question may apply to airlines in general or in any specific country.

A. In the United States, the carrier needs to hold economic authority granted by the Department of Transportation. See FAR 119.5(i) (link below).

How much economic benefit do parents provide by marrying and raising their children?
Q. My quick calculations suggest that the economic savings to government by parents who marry and make sacrifices for their real or potential children is substantial, if not staggering. If they spare our social services agencies major economic costs, this might suggest that marriage should be encouraged, rather than degraded to include relationships that do not involve real or potential parenting. How much economic benefit do married couples provide over the course of, say, 20 years of parenting? Suggested Google search: What is Mom worth?

A. It's certainly an interesting question you pose. However I have a question of my own. Since when did the institution of marriage become a decision based on economics verses morality and love? I think there's a far greater benefit to children and society when parents marry and mom stays home. Of course parenting comes with sacrifices, and in this day so does having one stay home. (usually mom) I think much of the decision is based on "what is important to us?" type thinking. There are many parents who want their cake and eat it to. In other words, they want the house, the boat, the motorcycle, the vacations AND kids. Most of that isn't realistic in most cases so there comes a sacrificial love that takes place when two people decide… [cont.]

What are the economic and environmental costs and benefits of using the electric dishwasher?
Q. This also includes its manufacture and disposal. I also have to "discuss the economic and environmental costs and benefits of washing the dishes by hand." This is a free response question for AP Environmental Science. I already did calculations to find that washing dishes by hand actually requires more energy (in BTU's) than washing dishes using the electric dishwasher. Here is my thesis statement: Although many people believe the electric dishwasher uses more energy than washing the dishes by hand, it is much more energy efficient to wash dishes using an electric dishwasher.

A. You're correct, an energy efficient dishwasher generally uses less water and less energy than a typical hand-washer, although if you're obsessive about washing dishes with a minimum of energy it is possible to beat the dishwasher in water and energy use. Of course, you'll be using a lot of your own time to do so. Modern dishwashers are designed with several features that make them particularly efficient, including smart sensors to figure out when there are no longer large food particles in the water ('Smart Wash'), heater in the dishwasher to heat the water to a higher temperature, which requires less soap and washes more effectively, allowing you to lower the temperature in your hot water heater to a more efficient and safer temperature;… [cont.]
