oh gosh. not again …
today was voting day in switzerland and again it was revealed, that we live in the bloody wrong fucking country.
fuck this conservative reactionary shithole, man!
there were 9 votes, the left voted “yes” in all of them, but only 2 of them came through.
among other things – like easier access to public buildings for the handicapped or better protection for renters or even a fairer healthinsurance system – which all got devastating No’s, what really killed me were the 2 anti-nuclear propositions.
imagine that: the swiss had the chance to say no to nuclear energy, but they voted against it …. ???
go figure!
I AM AGAINST DIRECT DEMOCRACY!
people are dumb fucks and should not be allowed to vote. they ll only ever copy what the government wants them to vote anyway.
make me king or even dictator, fast please!!!! i promise i ll be smart and benevolent.
There’s nothing wrong with nuclear power when properly managed – unlike Chernobyl. Ironically, Three Mile Island shows that even when things go wrong, the problem can be contained.
There is also that Switzerland has very little in the way of other energy reserves.
true, the problematic cases like chernobyl are rare. but what to do with the nuclear waste is the main issue here. and that has not been solved!
as far as resources actually the swiss have all the water of europe. they sit at the source of all the big european rivers. and they have huge mountains with lots of wind and sun. they may not have the fuel based natural resources, but everything else for alternative energy in abundance.
