So if I own a company in France that makes widgets, and I am losing $2000 a day, would I be better off just stopping production, shutting down my business and moving myself and my money to another location, or losing $730,000 a year because the government won’t let me do what is needed to stop the bleeding?
What a difficult choice.
I think one solution to the problem is the Soviet solution. As one worker in the former USSR used to say :
“We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us”
