Well, of course... As it is beginning to affect us.
The red tape, social protections, union rules and regulations are insane in Europe, especially France. Example; you want to leave a job you have to give three months notice, when you start a job you have a six month trial period, if you get fired during the trial period you get no unemployment benefits because you quit your first job and haven’t worked the required 6 months. Clearly, it’s safer to just keep the same old job.
I meet a couple wine producers who decided to paint pretty flowers and vines on their bottles by hand, but the local union of wine producers showed up and told them to stop, or else big trouble.
I could go on for hours, there are tons of examples.
Sadly, it sounds like the same thing is happening in the States.
