Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
"Comprehensive" is too crass here, too! The state as comprehensive compulsory service provider? A "minimal" would be quite important and correct (and to be defined...)

This constant technological buildup only makes sense where it creates real added value for people and the environment. Area-wide? In a remote forest hut it does 4 G also.....
Dieses ständige technologische Hochschaukeln macht nur dort sinn, wo ein echter Mehrwert für die Menschen und die Umwelt entsteht. Flächendeckend? In einer abgelegenen Waldhütte tut es 4 G auch.....

A statement like: "From a truly free market economy and without exception ethically oriented participants, everyone benefits in the long run" could be agreed. However, the real existing predatory capitalism is quite far away from this.....
Eine Aussage wie: "Von einer wirklich freien Marktwirtschaft und ausnahmslos ethisch orientierten Teilnehmern profitieren langfristig alle" könnte man zustimmen. Der real existiernde Raubtier-Kapitalismus ist davon jedoch ziehmlich weit weg.....

Where this is not, or at least not to some extent, the case, it leads to oppression, revolution and bloodshed (as history proves).

... but more targeted and with ecological conditions. Only where the national supply must and should be supported (e.g. high calorie efficiency). Certainly not like today with the watering can.....

A good public transport offer is a prerequisite for people to adapt their mobility behavior (and they do, as the example of the cities proves).
Ein gutes ÖV- Angebot ist die Voraussetzung, damit die Menschen ihr Mobilitätsverhalten anpassen können (und auch tun, wie das Beispiel der Städte belegt)

Unfortunately, the "heavy motorized individual transport" (car) is the absolutely most inefficient means of transport and regarding sustainability not part of the solution but part of the problem - to promote it makes no sense.
Leider ist der "schwere motorisierte Individualverkehr" (Auto) das absolut ineffizienteste Fortbewegungsmittel und bezüglich Nachhaltigkeit nicht Teil der Lösung sondern Teil des Problems - dieses zu fördern macht keinen Sinn.

Comment
Old-age provision is becoming increasingly unbalanced as a result of demographic change. Nevertheless, a fixed age limit is actually nonsense, because depending on education, that means 50 or just 40 years of "working time". It would be more purposeful and fairer to define a "working life" for pension eligibility instead of an age limit.
Die Altersvorsorge gerät durch den demografischen Wandel zunehmend ins Ungleichgewicht. Trotzdem ist eigentlich eine fixe Altersgrenze ein Unsinn, denn je nach Ausbildung bedeutet das 50 oder eben nur 40 Jahre "Arbeitszeit". Zielführender und gerechter wäre es, eine "Lebensarbeitszeit" für die Rentenberechtigung zu definieren, statt eine Altersgrenze.
