I am Swiss by Original my brothers and Sisters, you know what is when Monopoly is finish....you put all the money all the cards back in the box and the real life is going on..... i am swiss and i never ever can reach 80k the year...is like everywhere view rich and alot poor people life here!!! At end of month be sure we have less than everywhere in the world. In my view is switzerland like Babylons Capital!

that is true… but in some countries the ppl have no power, cant easily change that and get forced down like some countries in africa and south america

Switzerland not only helped finance Hitler it is where the Nazis hid most of their wealth. Second part of my comment was said right in this video. WWII was not a grassroots war. Gimme a break. It was orchestrated by big finance for big finance. And at the time Switzerland was top dog. The City of London then converted their colonial and imperial holdings, at the fall of their empire following WWII, into financial assets instead of direct control and became a real nefarious financial center modeled after Switzerland's tax Haven ways. The U.S. and large corporations began hiding their money there before they too aspired to be the next Switzerland. We're talking perhaps over 100 trillion if not more hidden in all these tax havens around the world. Money that was stolen from the poor and tucked into the elitist piggy banks purely for their greedy self-obsessed lives. Perhaps Switzerland can afford to be fair with it's own people, with the elite living amongst the commoners. One of the missing ingredients with the rise of transnational corporations and financialization, where before big money and the other bigs businesses were established in the heart of a community to actually serve the needs of the community and formed mutually beneficial relationships with them. But so Switzerland can afford to do that because they receive these transnationals wealth and can thus easily turn a blind eye to the distorted and corrupt ways this wealth has been achieved. So get real. This guy really justifies the injustice with his comment, sure, swiss banks do evil, but who doesn't (paraphrased) and his whole cheerleader take here.

your point about the stock account doesn't make sense at all. Since the stocks are yours, if the broker goes bankrupt nothing happens. You could just make a new account with a different broker and transfer your stock over there. I have to say its not really a Swiss thing.

@@Casskario bike insurance is new to me. At least at scale. But yeah, other stuff like bank and brokerage accounts is true.

@@sksz33 well; I live in Zürich and I don’t know anyone who has a bike insurance 😅 Although of course it exists. Since your stocks are not stored by the brokerage it is that simple … Of course your cash money you have on your brokerage account is also included in those 100.000$ insurance.

I love the Coop chocolate... Läderach for special gifts and a stop by the Flughafen Coop for just giving out lots of chocolate to friends back home.

That is so true. But one thing that could and definitely should be improved is to help the poor. By that I don't mean those who do not want to work but those who have been born into a poor family (parents lost their jobs or got sick, so they can't go to work anymore or can't find a job). Those people really are being forgotten, sadly speaking of my own experience.

Swiss people dont help the poor in other Country

Thumbs up. Sir what you neglect to mention is all socialist systems ARE NOT THE SAME. They may use the same word (socialism) . . . but how that is managed can be very different for each and every government that calls itself " SOCIALIST." As you can plainly see SEMANTICS is a big problem in honest communication. Words can be and often are twisted to whatever is useful at the moment. Again i admire Switzerland. Who doesn't ??? But the economy also has strong capitalist elements. Capitalism and socialism are NOT mutually exclusive if your mind is open to flexible use of terms.

Socialism is a strong world but its more social than what i hear from a lot of other country’s. Definitely not perfect where i live but a attempt is more or less made when it comes to psychiatry maybe the other stuff is better

As a citizen you can only get what you pay into the entitlement system of the government. Unlike the United States if you don’t pay in you don’t receive. Example you pay $100,000 in taxes you are eligible for $100,000 in benefits if needed. Just pointing out the definition of socialism is different in other countries

Fun fact: it worked 3 times... Both World Wars were mentioned. But actually, the most profit came from the Franco-Prussian War 1870. A lot of dyers (early chemist) fled from war. They moved to Switzerland (mostly Basel). Switzerland had a strong clothing industry back then and jobs were available (especially if colorful military uniform are in high demands...). It lead to an accumulation of knowledge in chemistry (and eventually pharmaceuticals) which made founding chemistry companies (La Roche, Novartis, etc.) easier.

Have visited in 2017, this my true experience on them.

I'd say not losing half your male population during WW2 is another factor. Oh and the fact they didn't have to bomb down their own bridges and infrastructure (like we Greeks did) to halt the Nazi War Machine. France got decimated by WW2, being in the heart of combat. England got carpet-bombed to smithereens. Greece, my own country, fought the Axis-aligned Italians for 6 months, pushed them back over our borders with Albania, then fought the Germans for another 3 months before finally losing and having Athens occupied. Half the population of Athens died due to disease and famine during the German occupation. The National Bank of Greece got looted out of all its gold, cause the Nazis needed funds. Guess where that gold went. That's right, Swiss Banks. So...no. I'd say their decision to remain "neutral" during WW2 and simply be arms dealers helped the Swiss economy A LOT. More than what is stated in this video. You have to think of not only what Switzerland GAINED from their neutrality, but also what other countries LOST due to their non-neutrality.

I'd like to add and correct something. First, another reason and a major reason why Switzerland didn't go into, is because it would lead to a civil war between the french speaking, who wanted to fight with France against germany and the swiss german part who wanted to fight with Germany against France. Now I'd like to correct something. The banking secret still exists, but not for strangers. It was removed for strangers due to international pressure to remove it. But even if the swiss people has the banking secret, if the police has serious suspicions and proofs that someone's doing something not legal with his money, they can check the bank account.

I agree, and technically we fought in ww2, but just defending ourselves frome the nazi, they attacked us (while we were keeping their gold?), and we employed guerrilla warfare using the alps and the numerous bunkers we have in them

@@nicogenovese7108 No, we just destroyed some planes that were flying above us. Thanks The general Guisan there was no invasion

@@skales519 yes, we destroyed all planes in our airspace, both allied and acis, but that is exactly the reason why the nazis tried to invade us, we defended ourselves the way I mentioned, and they renounced..

We didn't fight them thanks the defensive strategie of general Guisan, that was supposed to use the Alps, the bunkers and the hidden weapons, but the most important, they put bombs on every bridges and tunnels to slow down the ennemy. They showed that way to the Axis that invading Switzerland would be a lost of time, of troops and of money. But this strategy would last only a couple of months in case of an attack because of the need of food.

@@Checkmate025 Well, i'd say that swiss people are a bit nitpicky. Quality, hard work and ponctuality is expected in most jobs. You have to follow a lot of regulations that are in place to protect our way of life, that is layed out for high standards of safety on every level like safe travel, sanitary infrastructures, environment, healthcare, safe workplaces etc. But at the end, it's all worthwhile. Healthcare ensurance is mandatory for all citiziens. But they are free to pick the company they want to adjust the expences by chosing between different ensurance products. Some people will complain that our social structures invite lazy people to exploit the system. But that is just a tiny minority. I believe that most of us understand how good we are doing by doing what we do and the way we do it. So, most of us happely conform to the required mentality that supports our great economy and our way of life.. Hope this satisfies your question and i wish u a great day. :)

Not sure about the whole light/shadow belief, but there are. Swiss people are quite conservative and any new idea takes decade to be even considered. Women finally gained the right to vote in 1990 in the "state" of Appenzell. Also, the church is not well separated from the state, we teach religion at school and everyone has to pay taxes for the Christian church. Then there is the climate, 8 months of cold weather. Finally, the people. Swiss people are notoriously difficult to make friends with. Not as bad as the Finnish probably, but quite bad compared to most countries. You could also mention Swiss-German, compared to which German is like silk in your ears...

Huge quantities of Dairy products are consumed within the Country in Switzerland , same goes with wine . Not much growth but sustainable since many generations !! Is that such a bad strategy ? Seems to work well for them so far .;-)

@@hansgerber4278 It's smart for any country to NOT become dependent on other countries for food, water, or energy. That's a matter of national security. In the event of a war those external supplies can be cut off or used to blackmail the recipient. Example: Germany being dependent on Russian gas while fighting a war against them in Ukraine. If you have to subsidize your local farmers to achieve independence, that's fine.

Our previews goverments are only want are making WAR so the country has no peaceful on it. Instead of making good and provide works for Pilipinos.

Stuff like weapons ? Your economy is a disgrace !

@@blaiseragon8142 switzerland doesnt export a lot of weapons anymore. most weapons nowadays are russian, chinese and american

But you probably still are able to pay your bills, stay healthy, have a warm bed, clean water and don't have to worry about going to see a doctor without bankrupting yourself, or am i wrong?

Wtf dude.

What job do you have?

@@Aurirang yes you can never be without a home, food clothing or anything you need cause the state provides that for you...

Just because the banks, insurances or some big companys and billionaires are very rich and living in this country doesn’t mean, that everybody in Switzerland is rich too. Many people are living very broke like in other countrys, just be broke on a higher level doesn’t mean you are rich. And as more influence the left partys in politics becoming, as more people will be poor and broke like everywhere in the world too. Communism is not working out very well, even in Switzerland.
