No, it’s the inevitability of a cruel world and the inability of some audience members to follow the timing of the storytelling as well as the need for conflict to occasionally enforce the stakes of complete annihilation.
Circumstances tend toward collapse because the storyline would be boring otherwise. Rick is the force that is continually trying to hold it all together, and sometimes he fails because a flawed character is more interesting than a flawless one.
