At some point you have to pay the pied piper.

All the collectivist projects ("safety nets") are just shifting liability/cost/risk from one part to another at the extreme detriment of the system a whole.

Its causes massive distortions and disincentives. In the case of collective bargaining and labor protections, I'll speak about my country, the UK. These laws have crippled the country, especially as of recent.

Its so sad to see a nation that used to be full off dynamism, ingenuity and so much life now turned into a lifeless bureaucratic hellscape..
