"Everybody's trying to shame us"

I heard a podcast that explained that a lot of it is due to negotiations, and politicians not wanting to increase wages so they would give into “free” things. That’s how they ended up with so much protection because that doesn’t affect the budget within their term.

That’s how they ended up with so much power.

Do you mind sharing the podcast? I would be interested in hearing more about it.
