Not because of a slippery slope, that is always just a straw man, but because I believe police action should be based on more than just suspicion.

I do not like that - however whenever I look at myself - I do nothing that I be afraid of being looked at by the police - so on that end I do not feel it would impact me - on the other hand it be easy to procure that I am involved by any (state?) hacker group that want to plant the evidence .
it's hard call - we had that vote in SO just couple months ago - and (myself being at the end against) it passed with high

Will add some meat from the boiled veal to the remaining kidneys to make a steak and kidney pie for dinner.

| | Re: Vote June 13th 2021
Just for my understanding: what is the meaning of yes and no in this?
E.g. the Covid19-gesetz is made as an oppodition to a law that is already in effect. When people say they vote yes for it in the referendum does this mean they support the law or oppose it?
I mean is the referendum about abolishing the law yes/no or rather supporting the law yes/no?

We also have reduced our food waste to practically zero, we very rarely buy non-food stuff anyway.

Still the formulation seems strange: hasn't it been 'defacto 'angenommen' since sept-2020? (its definitely been in effect and a no vote will not roll back all the consequences, but simply stop any further consequences a few months from now).

I think we buy a bottle per year for cocktails, but nah, not our thing. Not even in cocktails.

We're more the wine and dine types to be fair.

But important in my view to legitimize and continue the economic support packages. Funnily enough, all the public health measures are already dealt with by the Epidemiengesetz. So if some people think the should votr no because they don't like masks, they are fooling themselves.

On food saving, I throw all sorts of leftovers & not used into an omelette or on a pizza.
Back to topic, voted by post today - No, No, Yes, No, Yes.

By now this surely isn't an emergency anymore?
As you can tell I have the opposite opinion of you (I think all Covid measures should be stopped ASAP) but my opinion is not relevant as I don't have a vote and it seems you'll get your wish anyway looking at the polls. Regardless of the outcome I think it's great that the people have a vote on it. Only country in the world as far as I'm aware.
I love the referendum system in Switzerland |

You can't change the past (but you may question whenever in fact it was legal to do what was done without any legislative support for it - I am sure they found something to support the actions that were taken one way of the other ).
Vote is mainly around continue support going forward
What I am missing still is some counter measure to it - but likley on first occasion we see that right being abused - we be voting again

| | Re: Vote June 13th 2021 1- Popular initiative “For clean drinking water and healthy food"
Perhaps the greenies aren't aware, but we've got clean drinking water and healthy food. They're trying to take Switzerland back to the 1930s. 2- Popular initiative “For a Switzerland without artificial pesticides”
Excrutiatingly dumb. If you get rid of artificial pesticides, more land is needed for farming. Which negatively impacts the environment. 3- COVID-19 Act
seems fair 4- CO2 Act
nope 5- Federal Act on Police Measures to Combat Terrorism
This one I had to think about really carefully, but came down on the no side. I understand that yes side, but on balance I think it is necessary to preserve our freedoms.
I think 1,2 will fail. 3 and 4 will go through. 5... don't know.

No - means Goverment would wonder how to do without our support of the vote regardless
