Here in Czechia we have BankID and it is problematic: 1) No verification that the user trusts that particular bank to perform this service. Most banks just deployed BankID for all their customers. 2) No verification between bank and governm

C already offers 'unsigned' type variants that offers defined overflow (together with non-negative range). It would be useful to have another type variant that offers defined overflow (like in unsigned) together with signed range

Integer overflow is usually logic error, so a reasonable default behavior would be a trap instead of silent overflow (regardless of how signed integrers are stored in memory). Some architectures support that (e.g. MIPS).

But such code might be generated by macros (or some code generator), in which case silent elimination of unnecessary code is expected and wanted behavior.

That is loaded question based on implicit assumption about what wages are 'fair' and what are 'exploitative'. But it is hard to claim that market rate accepted without coercion is not 'fair'.
