- spaetzleesser 5y agoI don’t think Munich is a good example. From what I know things were working reasonably well but Microsoft muscled their way back in with a lot of money and lobbying. If anything Munich is a warning that businesses will do whatever they can to obstruct progress if it doesn’t make money for them. If there was a broad movement towards organic farming I would expect a similar thing: corporations will put out a lot of propaganda and buy off politicians to stop this.
