I meant the Netherlands actually, the country this is about. It's like speaking of Medicine Hat[1] specifically, when it's actually normal in all of Canada.
[1] actual city name. I chose the one nearest in population to Assen and this is honest name. https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4167203 https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4167203
- taeric 4y agoI think the point of this article is that this could be tried other places?
- lucb1e 4y agoSure, but why single out a random town instead of just using the model that is being applied similarly throughout the country? 17 million people is a much larger sample size than 60 thousand, ought to be more convincing that it can work in various situations.
- taeric 4y agoThat is kind of the first two paragraphs of the article, though? Right?
- lucb1e 4y agoYes, which feels kind of weird: first mention Assen, then start writing about the Netherlands as a whole as though that was the topic all along. Idk, maybe it's just me
- taeric 4y agoI think that is just a natural, "start with a specific example as a hook" that actually works really well in education and general propaganda.
