Investors speaking without the chance of rebuttal from people who have significant experience in the subject is pretty useless. Another thing that stand out is presenting Switzerland as a role model, which has been far from problem free. Universal suffrage wasn't fully implemented until 1991 (1971 on a federal level), it's the most expensive country in Europe, have had huge drug problems as a result of public policy and want to stop immigration similarly to the UK.

- bhaak 10y agoIn how many other countries did the universal suffrage get granted by a democratic vote? Calling that a failure of democracy just because it took longer seems silly to me.
- piotrjurkiewicz 10y ago> has been far from problem free > and want to stop immigration similarly to the UK I'd say that it's rather an advantage of Switzerland model, than a problem.
- uola 10y agoThat didn't seem to be the sentiment of the speaker though, which is why I mention it.
- mistermann 10y agoGosh Switzerland sounds like a terrible place. I have always wanted to go there for a vacation, but now I'm not so sure, is it even safe to visit?
- uola 10y agoI assume you're being sarcastic, but while I like Switzerland it is a peculiar place. It's not at all uncommon that visitors experience culture shock, thinking people are unfriendly and not realizing how expensive things are. I wouldn't schedule a longer family vacation without doing some research, especially if you have family members that aren't flexible.
