Just curious as to how you think fire fighting services should be priced by the market?
I'm generally very conservative and against regulation, so no need to preach Adam smith to me (I actually read Wealth of Nations... not the synopsis). Though I will say, by ycombinator standards, I'm a centrist (way too left for the right, way too right for the left).
Well, the state pays the market price, but people who use firefighting services ("consumers") typically don't pay anything. Just like health care should be, I suppose.
