  • It defintly is a slippery slope. I work for a municipalitylies utilities company. Part of my job is working with a utilities companies union to lobby politicians to make laws that will actually improve the way we can work. I think we actually do improve things for the German public by bringing desperately needed knowledge to the table.

    But I think we are a small minority among lobbying institutions.











  • Alternative medicine is afaik medicine that is not part of traditional academic medical education. This is at least who it would be defined in German. Not sure if it is the same in English. We actually have specific words for that: “Schulmedizin” means academicly accepted medicine.

    So yes, it would also be medicine. But different than e.g. ibuprofen or radiotherapy.

    But tbh, I cannot think of an example. So maybe there is none? Don’t know, I am personally not that interested in alternative medicine.
