    They usually do this because other things depend on it, so it cannot collapse or they percieve it as such/ that that is important/ that for example workers can’t go somewhere else. They don’t see how the benefits don’t outweigh the risk.

      You see that’s a fallacy I see lefts giving to justify the state literally throwing billions down the drain. That these workers won’t find anything else to do. It’s not true and I can give you a true example. Portugal has a huge bet on tourism that blew up in our face when COVID hit. The workers in the sector lost their job all at once and had to find somewhere else to work, and they did successfully. One of the challenges the sector had when returning to normally was the fact it didn’t had people wanting to work in the sector. And currently the people that are mostly immigrants.
