Sorry but you're exaggerating, a full meal including drinks in a mid-level establishment will be at max. 50 chf and that's being generous. And with cheaper places you can even stay below 20 chf.

Yes, Switzerland is expensive but there's no need to lie about it. Also the stuff about millionaires and all maybe fits a couple streets in Switzerland that are very touristy but there are plenty of places not at all like this.

Maybe, but at least 4 people in the video have lost their jobs over this, so it has at least some consequences.

Nicht mal solange her, 2014 war die letzte Abstimmung dazu, und 2007 gabs auch schon eine. Es ist jeweils deutlich verworfen worden. Aber in den letzten 5 Jahren ist viel passiert, 2014 wäre auch die 13. AHV-Rente noch abgelehnt worden.

Auch meine Meinung. Selbst meine recht konservative Schwiegermutter hat vor kurzem gesagt, dass sich inzwischen mit dem Gedanken anfreunden könnte.

Und ich sollte nicht zuviel verraten, aber als SP-Parteimitglied kann ich schon mal spoilern dass da sehr bald was angekündigt wird in der Hinsicht. ;-)

Ein Meinungsbeitrag zu den Abstimmungen am 9. Juni, der mMn auch für Leser:innen ausserhalb der Schweiz interessant sein könnte.

You're mixing up two values here. Switzerland imports less than 10% of its electricity, the number you're probably referring to is the total of "Energieträgern", so oil, oal, gasoline, etc.

In Switzerland we pretty much lack professional healthcare staff all the time (like half our doctors are from Germany it feels). I'm not working in the industry but afaik nursing is better paid than in Germany, just other conditions around the job are very stressful and make many people leave.

During Covid, things got bad enough that a popular initiative by the trade unions got passed which demanded augmentations to the working conditions. The concrete improvements will soon get voted on and hopefully quickly implemented.

If you already speak German fluently, learning to understand Swiss German will hopefully not be too much of a challenge to you.

Update: I looked it up and a professional nurse makes on average a bit more than median income here.

That's great news! I stopped playing after the gold seal, but ill probably get back into it with these new features. I can only recommend the game for anyone who likes to play city builders with production lines, it's such a refreshing take on the genre.
