  2. As for the second point, what will all the specialised ships do whilst not being employed for a single task?

    Make the baffles removable. They could either drop into rails attached to the side of the hold, or there are these new-fangled fasteners that sort of have a sloping ridge going around them. You twist them the other way and they come off!

    Wouldn't that kind of murder be more likely be perpetrated by the government or organized crime? if theres a difference between the two, that is

    Not yet, anyway.

    Nutella can't replace the entire workforce with Indians overnight (if he does it over five years or so nobody will notice) but eventually one of them will suggest exactly that.

    You could argue that having faults makes it better for teaching. Like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Comet Airliner, Isandlwana...

    I *think* he's talking about merchant fees. I saw "working toward accepting" and something about having a business somewhere in that rambling rant.

    You aren't very good at history. Population has roughly doubled since the early 1970s, so it can't have been that high in WW2.
