Ah, now I see it... Yea, your edit might have lagged in federation.

ITT: people judging the vote and the voters by the magnanimous title alone.

The initiatives were worded and implemented so poorly, that it wouldn't surprise me if the initiants wanted to lose both these votes.

1. The inheritance tax would have caused mass nationalisations and it had pegged the tax proceeds to go towards climate goals instead of let's say the federal pension fund deficit (AHV-Loch). It would be incorrect to state that the voters don't support an inheritance tax or climate goals based on this vote.
2. The "service citoyen" proposal would have made some kind of civil or military service mandatory for all, but would have essentially reduced the military to a volunteer force, which would be socially unacceptable. The Swiss have a historically repeatedly confirmed will to keep a citizen's militia as the country's only security force.

or rather "Minden kakilás pisilés, de nem minden pisilés kakilás." ?

It was Antall József, PM of Hungary. Cancer iirc

The PM dying. They've interrupted Duck Tales for that shit, the bastards!

Your point is valid but less relevant. Lithium is an alkali metal found in different sources than rare earths, with Australia and South America producing the most.

Rare earths are expensive to refine which is why western mines and refineries have been outcompeted by China. If we were to subsidise local production we'd have an abundance, e.g. from Scandinavia.

Why is it brilliant? His narrative style captured my attention in a way that left me wanting more. It's also solid in terms of sourcing and correctness.

As for the merits/demerits of podcasts vs literature, it's just different media for different use cases. He also wrote a book on Lafayette and his transcripts are available if reading is more your jam.

There are 10 chapters iirc, each except one covering a single revolution in ever-growing detail. The chapter on 1848 covers multiple.

It starts out with the English Revolution in less than 20 episodes and ends with the Russian Revolution exceeding 100.

It's brilliant. Gotta relisten again. I can also recommend The History of Rome by him.

Swiss here

fwiw, "section" means platoon in French.

it's not that rare to get a male-only platoon, a company on the other hand...
