• I believe that this suggest an opportunity because it means that there will be more money flowing around, meaning that wealthy people can get more capital investment to create more infrastructure which will essentially create jobs. This opportunity is not an easy one to exploit, it will make it easier if you have bank credit, or capital investment, but for people with lower income I find it difficult.
• I formed the belief that an opportunity exists in this scenario, even though some people may not agree, because when income flows into the State, that brings more Capital, which will lead to more construction and infrastructure, which means even more opportunity. Capitalism is the reason that I believe on this opportunity.

• I believe this suggests an opportunity because Gig workers, which are workers that are not hold to a contract or work permanently on a job, don't have the benefits, such as insurance or bonuses that they provide on jobs, so it's a lucrative opportunity to provide some sort of tailored insurance for these workers. This opportunity it's easy to exploit if you are already in the insurance business and can come up with an idea to develop a tailored insurance.
• I formed the belief that the customer that will be benefit is the driver, which is a worker and a customer too. I saw this opportunity because I ride in uber a lot and I had already thought through.

• In my opinion, this regulation suggests an opportunity to people that use anti-tobacco products, such as vaping. It creates an opportunity belief for ad companies, which will be paid a lot of money to demote the usage of tobacco among teens, it's a very lucrative opportunity for them. 
• I formed the belief that an opportunity exists, even when another person might not have the same belief, because even some people might think it's better to let kids smoke, I believe it is better that we have a tobacco free America, I smoke, and I would've wished that someone had told me not to do it. 

Regulation - Get Paid for Using Personal Devices for Work

• I believe there is an opportunity in this regulation for people to get some money out of their personal items, I think it was about time this happened because most people today are using their phones to work, and it's always at stake when you take your computer to the work. It creates an opportunity to generate Capital investment.
• I formed the belief that an opportunity exists, even when another person might not have the same belief, because employees are assets of the company and so are their phones, they should get the opportunity to at least get some of what they're paying.
