Firefighters in Los Angeles are forced to put broken equipment back before city inspectors arrive, leading to expensive repairs on single contracts.

And then, even on the city level, like when I went and met in a fire station, they were telling me about how if a refrigerator breaks, this is mafia stuff, if a refrigerator breaks, you know, firefighters, they know how to take the refrigerator and they put it out. The city person comes in, they go, Oh, no, put that back in. You can't have that taken in. So they make them put the broken thing back in before the next person comes. And then It costs like $50,000, and this only one city contract can fix it. It's not for, you know, up for bid.
