It's a free market, if the government makes a better offer, they'll go work for the government instead of privately.

- turk73 7y agoIt is most decidedly NOT! If I were to start a private fire fighting firm here, the first thing that would happen is I would have public union firefighters assaulting me or my family members. The second thing that would happen is that I would go out of business because it is next to impossible to compete with "free." Taxpayer funded firefighters are a monopoly granted by government, aka not a free market in any sense. Meanwwhile, my city is behind on promised expansions of fire houses and infrastructure. The money went somewhere, though. Just like our school district which keeps needing more and more money but keeps having less and less performance meanwhile. The Superintendent quit/was fired and got a massive buyout clause in her contract to the tune of $500,000 or more and meanwhile kids can't read or do math because of her incompetence. We live in Clown World, that's all I can think.
