What I don't understand is that we have three levels of government
which control all these things. From state governments which control
working conditions, right down to local governments which control
building approvals and building works. I still don't understand why
with all these layers of government we blame it all on the top level.
Where were the other two levels? Federal government is supposed to do
top level policy. State and local are supposed to be there at the
implementation. What went wrong with them?
