Mal abgesehen davon, dass man vor einer Mehrheit, die Diebstahl im Supermarkt befürwortet (und sogar selbst durchführt), eine dafür hätte, Supermärkte zu enteignen (und noch früher, sie stark zu regulieren), würde dieses hypothetische Szenario einfach dazu führen, dass alle Supermärkte entweder schließen oder so starke Sicherheitsmaßnahmen einrichten, dass die Preise deutlich steigen (zusätzlich zu höheren Margen, um den verbleibenden Schwund zu kompensieren). Niemand ist “vom System her gezwungen, das Spiel mitzuspielen”. Unternehmen können sich einfach aus Deutschland zurückziehen und ihr Geld woanders investieren oder die Branche wechseln.

I just told you what the article you linked says. Now you tell me, it’s wrong? Maybe read your own sources next time.

The article you linked mentioned how that approval rating (for the central government - not the local ones) came to be for rural people: Censorship and propaganda combined with an attitude towards government similar to what you often see with religious people. If something good happens, the big guy far away did it. If something bad happens, it’s due to the corruption of men (in this case the corrupt local officials).

Edit: From the article:

“I think citizens often hear that the central government has introduced a raft of new policies, then get frustrated when they don’t always see the results of such policy proclamations, but they think it must be because of malfeasance or foot-dragging by the local government,” said Saich.

Compared to the relatively high satisfaction rates with Beijing, respondents held considerably less favorable views toward local government. At the township level, the lowest level of government surveyed, only 11.3 percent of respondents reported that they were “very satisfied.”

[…] This dichotomy is highlighted by a 2017 Gallup poll, where 70 percent of U.S. respondents had a “great” or “fair” amount of trust in local government.

Yeah in Season 3 Episode 1 everyone can rate everyone else and it has some really unsettling consequences on people’s behavior.

Especially when it comes to “security” laws, the EU often seems to be on a concerning track, while it seems to have good ideas for many other areas (consumer protection for example). Does someone have a good explanation for this phenomenon?
