While Amazon clearly does not have their workers best interest in mind, this is not a short-term profit driven company. On the contrary, Amazon is focused on growing and solidifying its long-term position at the expense of short-term profit

Some of the countries with the lowest homeownership rates [1] are also amongst the most financially secure on the planet. In Switzerland only 43% of households own their home and swiss households are, on average, way more secure than their

Deterrence is very different than ability to project operations around the globe. I'm not sure that the Swiss Air Force, or air forces of smaller countries in general, is an effective deterrent. As it stands right now, the Swiss Air Fo
