| Message | No....if they're competing, then they'll need to try and be the most efficient they can be. If the government just funds the one firefighting service, there's no competition and so no motive to be as efficient. Not saying all nationalised firefighting services will be inefficient, far from it, however there's a possibility for taking advantage of the singularity. |

| Message | If they compete they will not work together whioch makes larger projects such as the WTC-thingy. Almost impossible... Also lots could be prevented back then when the agencies would have worked together... And the motive is they get funding and are strictly controlled by the government... |
