    We don’t exchange goods for compassion

    We actually do that all the time. Altruism takes many forms. Or if you wanna be a nerd you can call it Mutual Aid.

    Edit: sorry I’ll stop pecking at you, it also took me a long time to deprogram from “Keynesian/Chicago economics is 100% right about human behavior.”

      I wouldn’t mind switching to a society that is built on altruism. My point is that the EU is not an inherent benevolent government. These regulations will be abused and I believe that there would be less abuse if we spent the resources on infrastructure that allows the consumers to make better decisions.
