(In all seriousness, I just went there to upload some images to host privately, as that's the only reason why I keep it around, but my eyes wandered.)

Wow it must be nice to have the luxury to just flee the country, boy I wish I could.

At this point where's even the place to flee?

The EU or Switzerland

Yea, we are, but better than the USA.

[–] Moss@hexbear.net 15 points 3 months ago

Ehh, it's not worse than the USA but the future doesn't look bright for much of Europe

Fat chance with Switzerland.

It's one of the most expensive countries on the planet to live in. For example, rents in the cities are comparable to Washington D.C. and Vancouver, and other living expenses aren't cheap either.
The right-wing SVP (racist/isolationist much like Trump) has been the majority party for decades. Hostility against foreign people is high, and immigration is the main scapegoat.
Competition on the housing market is extremely high and there are usually dozens of people registering for any given apartment viewing. You'll also be competing with the rest of Europe, especially Germany, France and Italy.

Don't even bother if you haven't got a really well-paying job lined up.
