Private Escape Routes

When the state keeps lying, citizens learn to lie back. They stop investing in public trust and build private escape routes through cash, favors, family networks, side income, or money moved abroad. Each move may be rational for the individual, but the collective result is weaker institutions and less social trust. A society built on private survival becomes much less able to create a durable shared future.
