It seems that whenever you look for one, you lose the other. If you seek labor freedom, you lose economic security, and vice versa. States “promise” more security in exchange for citizen freedom. It is very difficult for me to find an instance in life in which security and freedom can fully and frictionlessly coexist.

Is it just me or is that how it goes?

    “Freedom” = You can choose what you want to do

    “Security” = limits on what you want to do.

    Not always, but generally.

    Sometimes if someone else has more freedom, that can lessen your security/safety.
