And why does it have so many bankers?
- ithkuil 1y agoSwiss bankers live within a levenshtein distance of 1 from a bunker
- iamflimflam1 1y agoUnderrated comment.
- throwanem 1y agoOnly Swiss bunkers, though.
- yard2010 1y agoThat's bonkers.
- durkie 1y agoThis is mentioned in the John McPhee book referenced elsewhere in the thread, because there is actually an answer: when the cantons stopped fighting and Switzerland/Helvetica Confederation was formed, the Swiss finance/banking system developed to handle all the money being brought in by those folks acting as mercenaries and being paid to fight other people’s wars.
