re: #601 Obdicut

The subscription-based fire service is a free-market model.

Sure, but that’s where the similarity ends.

Um, okay. They are acting as though they are a private enterprise in this case. They are wrong to do so.

No; you’re also having an unfair bash at free markets/private enterprise. They are wrong to adopt the wrong policy of turning up to a burning house with a fire truck and standing aside whilst they watch it burn. It is not inherent of the free market, it’s inherent of sucky policies.
