Quote:This is again where you anti government lot are being over simplistic. Not many people want the government involved in most things, just natural monopolies and non free markets. Healthcare, roads, utilities etc.

This is where u statist lot miss it.


Government entities are more prone to waste fraud abuse apathy and incompetence because they are not subject to market forces (the ultimate monopoly) and because of public sector unions rarely is anyone fired.


Their role should be small and clearly defined as to minimize the impact of inefficencies. In this case there was q virulent systemic failure to do the most basic function of ensuring public safety and 90% of the officials involved were your beloved statists.
