That's in Switzerland.
Switzerland is not exactly a standard part of Europe: it's not in the EU, it's much more capitalist than the rest of Europe and certainly not a country that's following the current downward socialist path to Venezuela-style hell many other European countries are on.
If anything Switzerland is closer in spirit to the US than most other European countries.

- Daishiman 8y agoNice goalpost moving there. So... not Europe, but then all of Europe except Switzerland. Next up someone's going to bring in the high-speed rail in Spain, the Rotterdam port modernization, and so on. Europe can do it, end of story.
- Bayart 8y ago> it's not in the EU, it's much more capitalist than the rest of Europe There are certainly more capitalist places in Europe than Switzerland. Ireland, the Netherlands or Luxembourg come to mind. >and certainly not a country that's following the current downward socialist path to Venezuela-style hell many other European countries are on. I haven't noticed any oil socialist republics in Europe lately. Though a lot of countries indeed are on a downward path, but more akin to America's. Ie. the great dumbfuck uprising. >If anything Switzerland is closer in spirit to the US than most other European countries. Switzerland is closer to the countries it borders than any other place, and by a long shot. And in any case there are still big engineering projects all over the continent. The Lyon-Turin railway project includes a 57km tunnel being dug, but it's now threatened by the current Italian government (we're coming back to the dumbfuck uprising).
