Welfare state & family
Raise the retirement age to 67
Do you support an increase in the retirement age (e.g., to 67)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Individual premium reductions (IPV) should be abolished without replacement. The principle of true costs and the polluter pays principle should apply: everyone pays for what they consume. In addition, the obligation to have health insurance must be abolished.
Individuelle Prämienverbilligungen IPV gehören ersatzlos gestrichen. Es gilt Kostenwahrheit und Verursacherprinzip: Jeder bezahlt, was er konsumiert. Darüber hinaus ist der Zwang abzuschaffen, eine Krankenkasse zu haben.
Pensions for married couples
For married couples, the pension is currently limited to 150% of the maximum individual AHV pension (capping). Should this limit be eliminated?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The state talks about equal rights, but discriminates against married people. The contradiction is obvious. Simply distributing more money does not hide it.
Der Staat schwurbelt was von Gleichberechtigung, doch diskriminiert Verheiratete. Der Widerspruch ist offensichtlich. Einfach mehr Geld zu verteilen täuscht nicht darüber hinweg.
Reduce LPP pensions
As part of the reform of the BVG (occupational pension plan), pensions are to be reduced (lowering the minimum conversion rate from 6.8% to 6%). Are you in favor of this measure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It is much more important than the minimum conversion rate that you can choose your own pension system. The state must not force me into an ailing system that is unable to fulfill its own promises.
Viel wichtiger als der Mindesumwandlungssatz ist, dass man sein Vorsorgesystem selbst wählen kann. Der Staat darf mich nicht in ein marodes System zwingen, das seine eigenen Versprechungen nicht zu erfüllen vermag.
Extend parental leave
Should paid parental leave be increased beyond today's 14 weeks of maternity leave and two weeks of paternity leave? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Everything may, nothing must. Every company is already free to grant more parental leave. And every employee is free to apply to such companies. Children are not a state responsibility.
Alles darf, nichts muss. Jeder Unternehmung steht es heute schon frei, mehr Elternzeit zu gewähren. Und jedem Arbeitnehmer steht es frei, sich bei solchen Unternehmen zu bewerben. Kinder sind keine Staatsaufgabe.
Further encourage the construction of social housing
Should the federal government provide more financial support for public housing construction? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Only under communism is the state responsible for the homes of its subjects.
Nur im Kommunismus ist der Staat für die Wohnungen seiner Untertanen verantwortlich.
Health
Introduce compulsory vaccination for children
Should compulsory vaccination of children be introduced based on the Swiss vaccination plan?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Everyone may, no one must. The bodily integrity must be guaranteed. That's why you can't inject the children with the state subservience with a needle through the skin.
Jeder darf, niemand muss. Die körperliche Integrität muss gewährleistet sein. Deshalb darf man den Kindern nicht mit der Nadel durch die Haut die Staatsunterwürfigkeit injizieren.
Introduce a tax on sugary foods
Are you in favor of the introduction of a tax on foods containing sugar (sugar tax)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Everyone decides for himself what he eats. And is also liable for it. We need to abolish taxes, not invent new ones.
Jeder entscheidet selber, was er isst. Und haftet auch dafür. Es gilt Abgaben abzuschaffen, nicht neue zu erfinden.
Contribution to healthcare costs
Should insured persons contribute more to health care costs (e.g., increase the minimum deductible)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The incentives in the healthcare system are wrong. That's why we have a cost explosion there. I would also like a much higher maximum deductible, for example 10,000CHF, because I only want to insure myself against large risks. I always pay the small amounts myself anyway.
Die Anreize im Krankheitswesen sind falsch. Deshalb haben wir da eine Kostenexplosion. Ich möchte auch eine viel höhere Maximalfranchise, bspw. 10'000CHF, weil ich mich ja nur gegen grosse Risiken versichern möchte. Die kleinen Beträge bezahle ich sowieso immer selbst.
Limit the powers of the Federal Council in the event of a pandemic
Should the Federal Council's ability to restrict private and economic life in the event of a pandemic be more limited?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The Federal Council is also bound by the constitution. It is a scandal that it is abusing a supposed emergency to deny us fundamental rights of freedom. The wrong decisions must be dealt with. Those responsible must be condemned.
Auch der Bundesrat ist an die Verfassung gebunden. Dass er einen vermeintlichen Notfall missbraucht um uns grundlegende Freiheitsrechte abzusprechen, ist ein Skandal. Die falschen Entscheide müssen aufgearbeitet werden. Die Verantwortlichen gehören verurteilt.
Federal competence for national hospital planning
Should the federal government be given the authority to determine the hospital offering (national hospital planning with regard to locations and range of services)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Hospitals also need to be denationalized. Without an intervening state that sets the wrong incentives, it is natural for a functioning healthcare system to react quickly to a change in demand and to address customer needs in the best possible way.
Auch Spitäler gehören entstaatlicht. Ohne intervenierenden Staat, der falsche Anreize setzt, ist es für ein funktionierendes Gesundheitswesen selbstverständlich, schnell auf eine veränderte Nachfrage zu reagieren und die Kundenbedürfnisse bestmöglichst aufzugreifen.
Education
Inclusive schooling
According to the Swiss integrated schooling concept, children with learning difficulties or disabilities should be taught in regular classes. Do you approve of this concept?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A burden and harmful for all involved the good, the bad and also the teachers.
Eine Belastung und schädlich für alle Beteiligten die Guten, die Schlechten und auch die Lehrer.
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Ensure permeability.
Durchlässigkeit gewährleisten.
Equal opportunities in education
Should the state be more committed to equal educational opportunities (e.g., through subsidized remedial courses for students from low-income families)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Responsible parents create favorable conditions before fathering children.
Verantwortungsbewusste Eltern schaffen günstige Voraussetzungen bevor sie Kinder zeugen.
Immigration & integration
Make naturalization requirements more flexible
Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Expatriations should be facilitated.
Ausbürgerungen sollten erleichtert werden.
Increase the quota of third-country nationals for skilled workers
Should more qualified workers from non-EU/EFTA countries be allowed to work in Switzerland (increase third-country quota)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
State quotas should be abolished. Access to the welfare state should also be restricted, at least in the first few years. Restricting the immigration of unqualified people because of the uncontrolled immigration of unqualified people is stupid.
Staatliche Kontingente gehören abgeschafft. Auch der Zugang zum Sozialstaat gehört eingeschränkt, zumindest in den ersten Jahren. Wegen der unkontrollieren Zuwanderung von Unqualifizierten nun die Zuwanderung von Qualifizierten zu beschränken, ist dumm.
Asylum procedures outside Europe
Do you support efforts to house asylum seekers in centers outside Europe during the asylum procedure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Asylum should only apply to citizens of neighboring countries. It is absurd how legally abusive the majority of "refugees" travel through several safe third countries to end up in the Swiss welfare state. This illegal practice must be stopped immediately.
Asyl sollte nur für Bürger von Nachbarländern gelten. Es ist absurd, wie rechtsmissbräuchlich der Grossteil der "Flüchtlinge" durch mehrere sichere Drittstaaten reisen, um im Schweizer Sozialstaat zu landen. Diese illegale Praxis muss umgehend gestoppt werden.
Voting rights for foreigners
Should foreign nationals who have lived in Switzerland for at least ten years be granted the right to vote and stand for election at the municipal level?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
To "cast one's vote" into an "urn" is a fundamentally wrong approach. We should keep our voice, decide for ourselves about our lives. We should not carry our personal responsibility to the grave. Instead of distributing more voting rights over foreign lives, this kind of foreign determination should be restricted to abolished.
Seine Stimme "abzugeben" in eine "Urne" ist ein grundsätzlich falscher Ansatz. Wir sollten unsere Stimme behalten, selbst über unser Leben entscheiden. Wir sollten unsere Eigenverantwortung nicht zu Grabe tragen. Statt mehr Stimmrechte über fremde Leben zu verteilen, gehört diese Art der Fremdbestimmung eingeschränkt bis abgeschafft.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
My Body my Choice. Since I belong to myself, I am also allowed to decide about my body. Legalize all drugs. Procuring crime will no longer exist.
My Body my Choice. Da ich mir selbst gehöre, darf ich auch über meinen Körper selbst bestimmen. Alle Drogen legalisieren. Beschaffungskriminalität gibts dann nicht mehr.
Authorize active euthanasia
Would you be in favour of doctors being allowed to administer direct active euthanasia in Switzerland?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Those who no longer want to live should be allowed to decide accordingly.
Wer nicht mehr leben will, soll sich entsprechend entscheiden dürfen.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
There are only 2 genders. But when the state knows about it, it starts to discriminate by gender: Conscription, retirement age, etc.
Es gibt nur 2 Geschlechter. Doch wenn der Staat davon weiss, fängt er an nach Geschlecht zu diskriminieren: Wehrpflicht, Rentenalter, etc.
Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples
Do you think it's right for same-sex couples to have the same rights as heterosexual couples in all areas?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Marriage as a state construct must be abolished: Marriage for no one. We have freedom of contract. It allows everyone to regulate things as they currently do via marriage. The state must not keep a register of interpersonal relationships.
Die Ehe als staatliches Konstrukt ist abzuschaffen: Ehe für niemanden. Wir haben Vertragsfreiheit. Sie ermöglicht allen die Dinge so zu regeln wie aktuell über die Ehe. Der Staat darf kein Register über zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen führen.
Finances & taxes
Reduce taxes at the federal level
Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Taxes are robbery. They should therefore be abolished. All government tasks must be financed voluntarily. Otherwise, they must be discontinued. Property is guaranteed.
Steuern sind Raub. Sie gehören deshalb abgeschafft. Alle Staatsaufgaben müssen freiwillig finanzierbar sein. Ansonsten sind sie einzustellen. Das Eigentum ist garantiert.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The state pretends equality, but discriminates against married people.
Der Staat gaukelt Gleichberechtigung vor, diskriminiert aber Verheiratete.
Introduce a national inheritance tax
Would you support the introduction of a national inheritance tax on all inheritances over one million Swiss francs? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Inheritance tax is theft from the dead. The property is guaranteed.
Erbschaftssteuer ist Diebstahl an Toten. Das Eigentum ist garantiert.
Strengthen financial equalization between the cantons
Should the differences between cantons with high and low financial capacity be further reduced through fiscal equalization?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The new financial equalization system (NFA) contradicts federalism and subsidiarity. It destroys the pretended competition between systems. It punishes the successful and rewards the failures. The NFA must be abolished without replacement.
Der neue Finanzausgleich (NFA) widerspricht Föderalismus und Subsidiarität. Er zerstört den vorgegaukelten Wettbewerb der Systeme. Er bestraft die Erfolgreichen und belohnt die Versager. Der NFA ist ersatzlos zu streichen.
Economy & labour
Introduce a national minimum wage of CHF 4,000
Are you in favor of introducing a minimum wage of CHF 4,000 for all full-time employees?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Every company is allowed to set a minimum wage. The state is not allowed to do so, because otherwise it would ignore economic and contractual freedom.
Jedes Unternehmen darf einen Mindestlohn festlegen. Der Staat darf das nicht, weil er sonst die Wirtschafts- und Vertragsfreiheit ignorieren würde.
Regulate the financial sector more strictly
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
Anyone who takes their money to the bank is taking a risk. Everyone should be aware of this. Paternalism is symptom control.
Wer sein Geld zur Bank bringt, geht ein Risiko ein. Das sollte jedem bewusst sein. Bevormundung ist Symptombekämpfung.
Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità
Should private households be free to choose their electricity supplier (complete liberalization of the electricity market)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We are led to believe that we have had a free, liberalized electricity market for decades. But we don't have one. I can't even order CO2-free nuclear power at home, but am condemned to use certificates to whitewash the coal-fired power imported from Germany. #greenwashing
Uns wird vorgegaukelt, dass wir schon seit Jahrzehnten einen freien, liberalisierten Strommarkt hätten. Haben wir aber nicht. Ich kann nicht einmal CO2-freien Atomstrom bestellen bei mir zu Hause sondern bin dazu verdammt mit Zertifikaten den aus Deutschland importierten Kohlestrom zu beschönigen. #greenwashing

Wage equality between women and men
Are you in favor of stricter controls on equal pay for women and men?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I reject both sameness and control. We are diverse and different. We all have different qualities and preferences. Any non-market officials are the last ones who have to intervene here in a controlling way.
Ich lehne sowohl Gleicheit wie auch Kontrolle ab. Wir sind vielfältig und verschieden. Haben alle unterschiedliche Qualitäten und Präferenzen. Irgendwelche marktfremde Beamte sind die letzten, die hier kontrollierend einzugreifen haben.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
If the car drivers' money were used for driving, we would not have this problem. But every car driver also has to subsidize the train driver, who then feels morally arrogant as a better person, although he drives around parasitically at the expense of others in the country. Just like the Tesla driver.
Würde das Geld der Autofahrer fürs Autofahren eingesetzt, hätten wir das Problem nicht. Doch jeder Autofahrer muss auch noch den Zugfahrer subventionieren, welcher sich dann moralisch überheblich als besseren Mensch fühlt, obwohl er parasitär auf Kosten anderer im Land rumfährt. Gleich wie der Tesla-Fahrer.
Ban new registrations of combustion engine vehicles from 2035
Should Switzerland ban the registration of new passenger cars with internal combustion engines starting in 2035?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Everyone is allowed to buy and sell what they want. Even if Switzerland were CO2-neutral, this would have no influence on the global climate. Such harmful policies must be stifled at the core.
Jeder darf kaufen und verkaufen was er will. Selbst wenn die Schweiz CO2-neutral wäre, hätte dies keinen Einfluss auf das globale Klima. Solch schädliche Politik ist im Kern zu ersticken.
Achieve climate targets through incentives
To achieve climate targets, should incentives and target agreements be relied on exclusively, rather than bans and restrictions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The climate targets must be cancelled. The Paris Agreement must be terminated. Even if Switzerland were CO2-neutral, this would have no influence on the global climate.
Die Klimaziele sind aufzuheben. Das Pariser Abkommen ist zu kündigen. Selbst wenn die Schweiz CO2-neutral wäre, hätte dies keinen Einfluss auf das globale Klima.
Make the rules for renewable energy less strict
Do you think it's fair that environmental and landscape protection rules are being relaxed to allow for the development of renewable energy?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Deregulation, eliminate regulations. We want to be allowed to build and invest. But not with looted money aka tax money.

The freedom of trade and contract allows to build and to let build.
Die Gewerbe- und Vertragsfreiheit erlaubt zu bauen und bauen zu lassen.
Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Public service is an expensive planned economy. Public service should be buried and replaced by private service. Nothing is more expensive than a compulsorily financed state monopoly.
Service Public ist teure Planwirtschaft. Der Service Public gehört beerdigt und durch den Service privée ersetzt. Nichts ist teurer als ein zwangsfinanziertes Staatsmonopol.
Introduce progressive electricity tariffs
Would you be in favor of the introduction of increasing electricity tariffs when consumption is higher (progressive electricity tariffs)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Costs are already rising, so there's no need for prices to rise as well. What about volume discounts?

Making provisions for the protection of large predators more flexible
Are you in favor of further relaxing the protection regulations for large predators (lynx, wolf, bear)?

Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
No one should receive direct payments. A farmer is an entrepreneur and not a state employee. They should produce for the market and not be in the drip of the state.
Niemand soll Direktzahlungen erhalten. Ein Bauer ist ein Unternehmer und kein Staatsangestellter. Sie sollen für den Markt produzieren und nicht im Tropf des Staates hängen.
Introduction of stricter rules on the protection of farm animals
Are you in favour of stricter animal welfare regulations for livestock (e.g. permanent access to outdoor areas)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Everyone may, no one must. Everyone may apply for private animal welfare labels, no one has to.

Strengthening regulation of big internet platforms
Are you in favor of stronger regulation of the major Internet platforms (i.e., transparency rules on algorithms, increased liability for content, combating disinformation)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
These pretended good motives lead to censorship of dissenters and to diversity of opinion. They patronize citizens, who are given the right to vote and to be elected because they are responsible. Moreover, this goes hand in hand with the protectionism of large market participants.
Diese vorgeschobenen guten Motive führen zur Zensur von Andersdenkenden und zur Meinungseinfalt. Sie bevormunden den Bürger, dem sie ein Stimm- und Wahlrecht geben, weil er doch mündig sei. Zudem geht dies Hand in Hand mit dem Protektionismus grosser Marktteilnehmer.

It is already wrong that over 18 year olds receive a right to vote on my life. Then it is surely also wrong that under 18 year olds receive such a right to vote.

Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending
Should it be possible to hold a referendum on federal spending above a certain amount (optional financial referendum)?

The Federal Council must not hinder the Swiss arms trade. Arms companies are free to supply what they want and to whom they want - regardless of the type of war.

Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

My aversion to general bans is greater than the right to privacy in public spaces. I would ban the state from this surveillance, but not private individuals who take care of their own security.
Meine Abneigung gegenüber generellen Verboten ist grösser als der Anspruch auf Privatsphäre im öffentlichen Raum. Dem Staat würde ich diese Überwachung verbieten, nicht jedoch Privaten, die sich selbst um ihre Sicherheit kümmern.
Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls
Should Switzerland terminate the Schengen agreement with the EU and reintroduce more security checks directly on the border? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Schengen-Dublin have failed. Switzerland should never have gotten involved. The EU is not a reliable partner. Switzerland must take border protection back into its own hands.
Schengen-Dublin sind gescheitert. Die Schweiz hätte sich nie drauf einlassen dürfen. Die EU ist kein verlässlicher Partner. Die Schweiz muss den Grenzschutz wieder selbst in die Hand nehmen.

Switzerland should proclaim unilateral, global free trade. Those who go along win, those who remain in protectionism lose.

Comply with social and environmental standards
Should Swiss companies be obliged to ensure that their subsidiaries and suppliers operating abroad comply with social and environmental standards?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Companies are welcome to adhere to any standards, but they don't have to. The responsible consumer decides whether or not to buy their products.
Die Unternehmen dürfen sich gerne an irgendwelche Standards halten, müssen aber nicht. Der mündige Konsument entscheidet darüber, ob er deren Produkte kauft oder nicht.
Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU
Should Switzerland terminate the Bilateral Agreements with the EU and seek a free trade agreement without the free movement of persons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The free movement of persons opens the door to the welfare state. It would be a good idea if it only applied to the labor market. But as it is, it sets the wrong incentives and should be ended.
Die Personenfreizügigkeit öffnet Tür und Tor in den Sozialstaat. Sie wäre eine gute Idee, würde sie sich ausschliesslich auf den Arbeitsmarkt beziehen. Doch so setzt sie falsche Anreize und gehört beendet.

Everyone is the architect of his own fortune. Life is not fair. There is no such thing as compensatory justice. And state interventionism fuels the interventionism spiral: They have the opposite effect of the original good intention.

It would probably be best if both parents could devote themselves full-time to the care and education of the children. (Stampfli) But this must not be financed by the state.

Instead of expensive prisons and reintegration measures, we should remember more often that criminals have forfeited the right to be part of our society. There is no need for integration but for deportation - also of unteachable Swiss.

The SBB and the Postbuses should be privatized. Nothing is more expensive than a compulsorily financed state monopoly.

He should not spend even more. It should only spend the money on roads that it has already taken from motorists through taxes and duties.

The state is failing here, too, and more money will not solve the problem. Remember the suppression of the peaceful Corona demonstrations while at the same time guaranteeing freedom of assembly. A mockery.
Der Staat versagt auch hier und mit mehr Geld wird das nicht gelöst. Man erinnere sich an das Niederschlagen der friedlichen Corona-Demos bei gleichzeitiger Garantie der Versammlungsfreiheit. Ein Hohn.

The state may not prescribe a retirement age. Everyone determines this for themselves. The pay-as-you-go system of the AHV is a snowball system. It does not work and collapses. The more the state has a hand in it, the less a system works. The AHV would have to switch to a funded system. The state should not force people to invest in a misconstrued, collapsing system.
Der Staat darf ein Rentenalter nicht vorgeben. Jeder selbst bestimmt das für sich. Das Umlageverfahren der AHV ist ein Schneeballsystem. Es geht nicht auf und kollabiert. Je stärker der Staat die Finger im Spiel hat, desto weniger funktioniert ein System. Die AHV müsste zum Kapitaldeckungsverfahren wechseln. Auch der Staat darf Leute nicht dazu zwingen in ein fehlkonstruiertes, zusammenbrechendes System zu investieren.
