Es findet eine "Bildungsinflation" statt. Früher war es weitaus schwieriger etwas zu erreichen und es brauchte echte Fleissarbeit.

Es gibt mehr als genug Beispiele von Menschen die mit echter Fleissarbeit und persönlichem Einsatz im Leben weit gekommen sind, ohne auf solche Massnahmen zu setzen, obwohl sie selbst wenig Mittel zur Verfügung hatten. Zudem gibt es heutzutage eine Unmenge an Quellen zu Wissen, welche frei verfügbar sind.

Do you support stricter regulations for the financial sector (e.g., stricter capital requirements for banks, ban on bonuses)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
"Wo der Staat eingreift entstehen Marktverzerrungen. Aber: Das jüngste Beispiel zeigt, dass im Fall eines Problems, dann doch wieder die hohle Hand beim Staat gemacht wird. Dies wird sogar noch dadurch unterstützt, dass andere Länder zusätzlichen Druck ausüben. Hier braucht es mehr konsequentes Vorgehen durch den Staat."

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Auf keinen Fall. Nur schon die ganzen Jobs (Garagen, Zulieferer etc.) die dahinter stehen, würden alle vernichtet werden. Die Kompensation mit neuen Berufen würde bei Weitem nicht ausreichen.

Es kommt darauf an für was. Wenn ineffiziente Windräder gebaut werden sollen, die weniger als 20% ihres Daseins auch tatsächlich Strom produzieren, dann ein klares Nein. Mehr Details dazu gibt es bei der Suche nach "Kapazitätsfaktor" und "Windrad". Weiter muss man aufhören bei uns in den Alpen Windräder zu bauen. Diese sind noch ineffizienter, da die dünnere Luft in der Höhe wesentliche Einbussen bedeutet.

Comment
Es wird kaum anders möglich sein. Zudem sind KKW von neuartiger Bauweise mit passiven Sicherheitsmassnahmen ausgestattet, damit sich diese im grössten Notfall mittels physikalischer Prozesse (für Jahre) selbst kühlen würden, bis keine Gefahr mehr besteht.

Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?

Comment
Der ursprüngliche Gedanke des Internets fällt immer mehr dem Regulierungswahn zum Opfer. Zudem finden diejenigen, welche Regeln umgehen wollen, gerade in der digitalen Welt, immer wieder neue Möglichkeiten.
