1975 Swiss referendums
Nine referendums were held in Switzerland in 1975.[1] The first was held on 2 March on an amendment to the Swiss Federal Constitution on the article on the economic cycle. Although it was approved by a majority of voters, it did not receive the support of a majority of cantons (the result was an 11–11 tie),[2] so was rejected.[3] The next five were held on 8 June on protecting currency (approved), financing the national road network (approved),[2] amending the general tariff (rejected), increasing taxes the following year (approved) and restricting federal expenditure (approved).[4] The final three were held on 7 December on a constitutional amendment on the right to residence and welfare benefits (approved), a constitutional amendment on water management (approved) and a federal law on the import and export of agricultural goods (approved).[4]

gollark: I have one, but it ends up having to basically run the entire BIOS again to rebuild the environment, and is now quite tightly coupled to potatOS.
gollark: And I think <@111572502722920448> said something about making their own sandbox thingy. They definitely have an old and kind of bad but working one available.
gollark: You can look at the insanely complex partly self-modifying mess known as potatOS for inspiration.
gollark: What works better is just preventing access to directories or files via editing the `fs` API.
gollark: <@438023494953861142> Look, your thing is honestly not great at actually preventing access to anything, and is not a convincing copy of the shell. Also, you can open `lua` (probably) to just do `fs.delete` or whatever.
