Switzerland is probably the best example of second hand exploitative wealth in the world. Shady middlemen for chocolate, minerals, diamonds, oil, coal, fucking Nestle etc. Kind of irrationally makes me hate that things are so hunky dory there.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoOf course. Since WW2 it's been the major safe heaven of the most vile, shady and criminal wealthy elite. Unironically it's also where the elite goes to have their frozen corpses preserved until they can be resurrected in the future.[1] [1] https://www.tomorrow.bio/ https://www.tomorrow.bio/

- huytersd 3y agoEven the financial paradise aspect is exploitative. Every country in the world has reporting and transparency requirements so billionaires can’t just silently stack wealth and skip paying taxes but we’re going to be the one place that says, fuck everyone, we have no morals or ethical concerns, put your money here. I don’t know the laws on the ground but you probably won’t be able to referendum away massive, global corporations.
