Corporations, companies with close links to the state, and established organisations are doing reasonably well in the state-run economy. Those who are less well represented must put in more effort, find new solutions, adapt and work far more to have a chance. Is this negative per se? In principle, no.
Flexible working hours are available in many places. This makes it possible to, for example, take the children to nursery, make health-related efforts, move and exercise. Are four-day weeks, such as those in Belgium, the future, or are we cementing structures that stifle innovation and flexibility? Can different systems and business sectors exist in parallel in a kind of harmony?
VAT in the healthcare sector and a reduced dependency on insurance companies and banks would help make Switzerland, Europe and the Western world demonstrably healthier and more sustainable. If adequately explained, these changes will likely find public support.

However, opponents are also making their voices heard and emphasizing their concerns about agricultural and traditional values.
Building trust requires transparency. Transparency strengthens trust and enables market participants to make well-informed decisions. Cooperation between governments and businesses should be encouraged to promote fair practices and ethical standards. Forums for dialogue and partnerships between governments and companies should be created.
There is a positive mood about this decision from left to right. Everyone is interested in budget increases. The focus is always on the electorate, available financial resources and, last but not least, on personal position. The industry senses morning air. However, the question arises as to the purpose of using cost-, maintenance- and personnel-intensive war materials.
Unfortunately, poor communication, lack of knowledge and resentment reduce progress. Intelligent and verified digitalization strengthens the rule of law. More knowledge centers, independent auditors and collaborators need to be involved. A strong state promotes an active economy. With the state economy, its monopolization and correspondingly too many employees, both democracy and financial ethics are “abolished”.
The lack of trust in the state and large corporations is increasing and becoming increasingly clear. Such headlines are circulating more and more frequently, and not just in the IT industry. Scarce resources are increasingly worrying humanity, just as power struggles and distribution problems have existed for thousands of years.
