Competitive Sector Crime Scene Cleanup Company

Free Market Crime Scene Cleanup

I could almost use the terms "free market" with "competitive sector," except our "free market" lacks a lot of freedom. It would be pointless explaining how our "free market" lacks freedom. Most people will agree with my idea.

By crime scene cleanup competitive sector I mean those crime scene cleanup companies existing solely from revenue earned without government aid of any sort. I mean those companies existing without a crony relationship to government employees for the benefit of one, the other, or both. I do not include crony relationships in the competitive sector, that is.

Crony companies share a monopoly with their local government crony employee friends.

Crime scene cleanup companies within the competitive sector may have contracts with local governments to perform certain services. These relationships do not create a crony relationship. As a consequence such crime scene cleanup companies remain in the competitive sector, given their government free status.

Competitive sector companies come and go rather quickly. Against the forces of a corrupt local coroner's office or corrupt medical examiners office or a corrupt county administrator's office, competitive sector companies have little survival value. To overcome the hazards of surviving in a competitive sector economy, cleaning companies must have additional business revenue. One simply does not find competitive biohazard cleanup companies without additional business revenue or government funds. With government funds a competitive sector company becomes a "cronified" (my term) company reliant on government handouts. There are no two ways about it.

We find other companies and self-employed types in the competitive sector. Plumbers, electricians, ice cream vendors, personal services like barbers and beauticians all belong to the competitive sector.

Competitive sector companies rarely receive government breaks on land or taxes. Unlike their monopoly cousins, taxes remain fairly stable over years. Monopoly sector companies find breaks because of their many employees and often because of crony relationships.

We should look to monopoly sector companies as creators of their history and environment. Some produce useful services and goods while enhancing life for all. Others produce war materials and manipulate our political system to keep their political edge.

It would be hard indeed to find a military monopoly corporation today without strong ties to the federal government. Government employees chang hats and move to their monopoly corporate friends and back. We've seen this migration in might numbers among Wall Street's power brokers.

Competitive sector companies grow or die. Over all a majority of small competitive companies go under. They pay for roads and services and most rarely use anything close to the materials and services they pay taxes to produce.
