Try not to just spout things like "scale economy". Instead push your intuition to a higher level. I would say the major cost here is related to the air transport. And it's unlikely that scale will help here.

When looking at other examples do the same. If the major cost of a product is related to manufacturing. (chemicals for instance) And you form a bigger company by just combining several factories, how much scale effect will you have? (Oppposite example might be pharma company where manuf is small part of cost and sales/RD are large part. Here combining sales forces might give you substantial economies. Of course you have to check that the sales forces are not differentiated by therapuetic area. (I.e. can't cross-sell effectively).

Not a flame, but just some food for thought...

Thanks GP.

Eventually you guys persuaded me not to go. It seems like the march was successful though. Apparently over 100k of people turned up - I call that a success.

I heard that it was only 15k that attended the marh, according to police estimates.

Nah, they're wrong. The organisers know better - they have the numbers.

Since people just show up, how/i> do they "have the numbers?"

And both sides have an incentive to slant the numbers, but generally organizers of any demonstration for any cause have more of an emotional and ego stake in it.

I saw everything from 10k through 50k to 100k.

The police estimate was 15k.

CND said 50k.

York SAW (Students Against the War) said 100k.

I'm guessing the real turnout was probably ~20-25k.
