Realistic synthesis
The people, events, figures, and technology in this matter are stated assumptions. They are not to be treated as information about real individuals or as observed events. Background documents are separate sources, and symbolic interpretations are recorded as discovery paths.
The question to decide
The shared repair workshop, facing a rent increase, can now cover only 75% of next year's costs from dues, and its volunteer operators are working more hours than agreed. Raising dues may drive some members away, and reducing operations or taking on more paying outside customers may cut members' chances to use the space. To keep the workshop, what burden should be asked of whom?
