Maybe, maybe later, since he knows they’re leaving now and he’s still going to the palace, and probably realizes he will have to deal with stabilizing things on Lamia for some time. I think right now he’s manning up and apologizing for the joke candy dig — which Loria was not offended by because she agreed with the sentiment behind it, and just maybe appreciated the compliment it contained (“appealing on the outside”).
I have to disagree on this. Private companies are always out to maximize their profits. And there’s loads and loads of infrastructure that does not immediately benefit them – so way should they be interested in it?
What sort of infrastructure? Water and wastewater are privately
owned, as is electricity. You’ll find the basic answer on the
responsibilities of the Empire, Kingdoms, cities and on down
spelled out in TGW-639.
All the water and wastewater I’ve ever had/used was either government owned or a co-op that still has to do things up to government standards, and Texas is a PRIME example of what happens when you let a utility be run for profit with little or no regulation. I would LOVE to live in the Empire, but I also am a realist and know it could never work in the real world.
