Same. All hail the mighty Kalamata.

The EU doesn’t allow monopolies.

That’s like you having to pay 200 €. You’d rather not but it’s not a problem.

What happens is that owners throw out renters to turn the flats into airbnb places. Fewer flats for locals means higher demand means higher prices.

Sounds good.

Just one more thing: Median gross wage.

Because what is gross and what is net also varies a lot. For example, in France, taxes and health insurance are deducted from gross, but in Switzerland they’re not. So comparing net salaries between FR and CH would create the incorrect impression that they are stupidly higher in CH.

Taxation. They don’t want people to drink a lot.

Slava Ukraini!

That said, I really hope you will get rid of your store brand hitler soon, for your own sake as well

Not all countries have a minimum wage

Good guy Croatia. All my homies love Croatia.

I’m positively surprised to learn that there are bicycle lanes in the USA. Well done!

Perhaps they don’t count strikes

happy swiss noises

We have similar problems in Switzerland. There is a tiny hitherto unknown village somewhere with an even tinier boat mooring place (literally big enough for three people to stand on) that was used as a filming location for a popular Korean television programme.

Cue hordes of Korean people wanting to take pictures on that boat mooring thing. Nothing against Koreans, they are very well behaved and always very welcome, but the sheer number of people creates many problems.

England?

Pehaps, and I might be crazy, but hear me out, there just might be some room between absolutely no tourists at all ever and being flooded by literal millions?

It is representative of the relevant parts though

runs and hides

Both ought to be left out. Ankara ist completely in Asia and Constantinople is more than half in Asia.

“We want to gamble with people’s savings and retirement funds”

Fuck off. Fuck all the way off. Then fuck off some more.

If you want someone to invest into high-risk ventures, have the ultra-rich do it. They can afford it. Or the institutions which literally exist for this purpose: banks.

Your comment seemed neutral in tone.

I see what you did there.

I’m glad I could shed some light on it. I get mildly annoyed every time a non-Swiss European - only having heard of typical Swiss incomes and nothing else - acts as if we were super rich.

I mean we’re doing ok, but our prices more than match the incomes.
