A port serving a whole region can charge shippers a lot if nobody else can handle their cargo, and a regulator must balance fairness against the port's need to invest.

A firm can save effort by automating a task, but it may leave long-serving staff without work, and both efficiency and fairness have a claim.

Village football clubs in Goa field teams in local leagues on shoestring budgets, and their sponsor asks are vague, so local businesses give small amounts or nothing.
