Yeah, in one of these scenarios, things don’t get done and in the other, people’s freedoms are taken.

Real difficult to decide which extreme I’d take.

And yes, I know the actual implication here is that public services fail and infrastructure isn’t as viable. But I would take free and struggling over oppressed and struggling no matter what.

If the direct reward for obeying the system was health and riches, it’d probably be a genuinely difficult choice, but that’s not the actual choice we’re being offered. They want to take your freedom and your wellbeing.
