I suppose the lack of capitalism and the total subsistence economy of the federation makes insurance payments to widowed family members irrelevant and thus makes insurance less of a mandatory affair... perhaps putting less societal pressure on casual death? ��
Honestly that does sound like a probable feature of mass human psychology. If there's no impact to caring for the family of a dead worker because everyone is already 100% provided for, there is less incentive for any 1 individual to care about casual death.
Potential hidden +1 for capitalism? Lol
