Freedom and security exist in perpetual tension. This is why we need to take security breaches in stride, put them in perspective. Imagine giving up 5% growth because someone killed .000001% of your population! And yet, that's exactly what countries do. The histamine reaction to violence is many OOM worse than the violence. If that's too politically charged, the same effect happens when there's a shark attack. Never mind it almost never happens, world-wide, and has negligible impact on the human population, but when an attack occurs suddenly there's an outcry to spend millions on patrols, shark hunts, whatever. Millions that could have been spent on much more pressing needs, like feeding malnourished kids or researching a Covid vaccine. And putting pressure on wildlife that is already under pressure. It's always a poor decision, but it plays to the voters. Who can read this riddle?
