"[...]a year-long trial that would divide some municipal workers into a test and control group"
We should need more scientific approaches like this to decision making in politics.
- perbu 12y agoAbsolutely. There is a political problem here. Nobody wants to be in the control group. The fairness of the experiment doesn't lend itself well to the social-democratic thinking of the Nordics (everyone is supposed to be treated equally).
