Ukraine

really? because I was wondering where is a country that imposes so many restrictions on collecting forest floor. I thought maybe Germany, but I was surprised.

At first, my homeland Moldova introduced it, and then Ukraine, where I live, followed suit.
This is lobbying for companies exporting medicinal herbs, berries, mushrooms, etc.

That's right, it's a lobby in everything, for example, why is it easy for a beginning entrepreneur to get a license, but difficult to get permission to carry out work, he gives his money for a license, rejoices, continues to pay for numerous permits, but at the last instance he is turned away, they say, does not meet the requirements, for example, the requirements for construction. They milk everywhere, lead in circles. They fine, but those who can compete with their own, pocket interests.

Control. Those who have money and influence want control and power. That's the problem. Money and prosperity if the game is fair, it's easy to earn - just don't be lazy and show a little cunning. But power when the rules of the game are fair is hard to maintain. No one wants to be ruled or owned. Especially not by psychopaths. That's why they constantly conspire and throw obstacles in the way of others. To satisfy their narcissistic need for power over others. Real leaders don't have to do that. That's why real leaders often encounter unpleasantness.

Well, yes, it's everywhere, but the main reason is that people initially allow them to commit lawlessness, remain silent, and begin to get indignant when it concerns them personally, but as they say, it's too late to drink barjomi when your kidneys have fallen off.
What people are facing today, for example, in the Hive, began with the whale-baiting of @haejin.
@haejin did as he saw fit, namely, he managed his funds at his own discretion. Everyone was silent when his accounts were multiplied by zero, but now, no one can feel safe in the Hive, since their funds are under the total control of the self-proclaimed hive police. Something like that :)

that's how it works, except that there is a dilemma here resulting from the very nature of people who are silent.

Well, ordinary people do not want to get involved in conflicts and want to live their own lives. They do not have excessive ambitions in connection with establishing the rules of the game. Often they also simply fight for their own and are afraid to react to injustice because they do not want to escalate. This is because most people do not have a narcissistic lust for power or ambition to play the Gestapo. They live their lives, they want to grab a few coins to buy something extra for the family or have for a trip... hence their passivity.

The same trait that makes most people not have psychopathic tendencies to exercise power also makes them passive and ultimately makes them victims of their passivity.

The problem is the conflict of predators versus prey.

It's like with lions and a herd of antelopes.

Antelopes graze peacefully in a meadow until a lion appears and they only run away when someone starts chasing them. If a lion catches an antelope, the rest of the herd does not stop to help it but runs on to save their lives.

If lions chase antelopes into a trap, they eat as much as they want until they are full.

Most people are like antelopes and a few are like lions.

The sensible ones are like elephants, they do not care about lions or run away like antelopes, leaving their own, only if they have to :) Unfortunately, there are few of them and that is the problem

Much of the U.S. is now like this.

Here is a man years ago that was ticketed for fishing without a license.

His argument that as the living man, he requires no permission to put food in his belly caused the judge to flee the courtroom. They hounded this man afterwards, to the point he feared for his life.

In some areas they will go after you if you try collecting rain water.

They are growingly designating land as wetlands which stops one from doing anything on them, however there is a loophole for developers and speculators where they can make a different area wetlands and do whatever the heck they want with the real wetlands.

I got a million stories on how they have been making it illegal to live naturally here in the U.S.

Our supreme court ruled recently it was legal for cities to make being homeless a crime.
