It’s not like Switzerland has one of the highest number of nobel prize and patent per capita in the world... That’s really not a spot on cliché quote...

No tax on capital gain is just the most important one for any startup... (btw you do get this tax on fictional rental value of your house, but you can deduct all loan interest which are normally higher even today with the 0.8% loan rate)

It is useful as a justification. Not from a technical point of view, but just to support the pathway they have planned and the story around it.

What exactly is your point? Induction stove are way more efficient than gas stove, heat pump are more efficient than gas furnace... However I think that banning all natural gas is not tge best way as natural gas can be CO2 neutral (like bio

Yes US have a long track of purchasing EU company to destroy them. A China purchase looks almost (or maybe not) more friendly.

Oh really ARM is not selling/operating in Europe? Brexit or not it doesn't change a thing. Last big merger (Qualcom and NXP) was blocked by China. Even if EU don't do it China is likely going to mess Up with this one again.

I think that we mostly agree, my rebuttal was for the original comment implying that the choice was either Uber or starving. The situation is much more complex.

No that's simply not true all long term resident (in CH for more than 15 years) have the same right to apply to it and their permit cannot be revoked. They represent like 18% of the 25% you mentioned. Of course it will create an issue

Can you tell me what is worst between a theocracy and an absolute monarchy? In SA, the king is bound by no law not even the law of god. He wants you dead on spot, and then you die. Doesn't sound to me a better system.
