| Message | absoutly not. Businesses are national. Industry is nation. This is not somthing that should be left to local governments. |

| Message | We completely agree with this bill. We have much diversity within our nation, and a one-size-fits-all policy is problematic. Local governments must have the ability to create regulations that fit their economic situation. Despite what the National Solidarity says, the majority of businesses are small, hire local workers, and serve a local clientele. It makes perfect sense to have regional governments regulate this area. Not just for the small, local businesses, but so that large, national businesses must conform to a community’s standards when they move in. It is unfair to create a single national standard and prohibit local governments from controlling the activities of national industries that move into their communities. |

| Message | And if local areas deem that fire doors and alarms are not needed? As well, wouldn't it be more economical, for things such as major industries, to have uniform standards? |

| Message | We see your point, NS. Still, considering that all strategic industries are government-owned, we will still have some degree of centralisation, while allowing greater flexibility and adaptability to Kundrati's industries. |

| Message | We still see a problem with this. If Local governments decide that regulations should be lax, then it affects the workers. IF they decide to strong, then it huge amounts of money go into meeting those standards, and many small businesses won't be able to do it, leading to a hugh hit in local economies. The Federal Government making the regulations is a happy medium. |
