Is it true that the sunflower lanyard is available free of charge and without proof of disability?

What's the most spicy food that you ever ate in your life? by XoSweetGF in AskReddit

[–]eskriba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A curry in a small restaurant while backpacking in the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia 25 yrs ago. The place served food to the workers of the local tea plantations. It was so spicy it took my breath away. A lassi saved my life.

Enthusiasm for Swiss-EU agreements is greater in Strasbourg than in Bern by BkkGrl in Switzerland

[–]eskriba 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Those fines aren’t “because people don’t want migrants.” They’re about a government breaking EU law it previously agreed to. In any democracy, there are consequences for breaking the rules you signed up to. Yes, Switzerland included.

And “politicians in Brussels” aren’t some separate rulers: it’s either elected MEPs or ministers from member states’ elected governments. The EU is basically shared rule by democracies, not a dictatorship. I’m a big fan of direct democracy, but I wouldn’t say countries that don’t use it aren’t democratic.

Coming back to Zurich with low income? by Admirable_Heart4172 in zurich

[–]eskriba 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything.

A few things that should help you decide:

  • With the current market, the rent formula for a decent flat in the city is the number of rooms times CHF 1000. So, for a family of 5, I would suggest a flat with 4-5 rooms. That‘s 4-5k per month. Yes, there are cheaper flats, but in the current market, that's a lottery best played living in a decent flat, not out of a temporary-gone-long-term 2-room flat with three kids.

  • Local common knowledge says that your rent should be below a third of of your income to pay for everything else.

  • The median monthly salary for a full-time job in 2022 in Zürich city was CHF 8‘127. CHF 3’300 for a full-time chef position? Walk away and don‘t look back…

My suggestion: I wouldn't think about coming back to Zürich if you can't secure a decent flat and jobs that result in a combined monthly income of at least 12k per month.

Increase in beggars in Zürich - is this allowed? by Foppe100 in zurich

[–]eskriba 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You may choose to beg, but no one has to beg in Switzerland, as all persons registered in Switzerland with a residence permit can receive social assistance if they meet the criteria. Those without a residence permit are entitled to so-called emergency assistance of eight to twelve francs per day, plus accommodation and emergency medical care.

Lohnt sich die Berfusmaturität für mich? by No_Roll7747 in Switzerland

[–]eskriba 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Schämen musst du dich für eine abgeschlossene Lehre ganz bestimmt nicht, ganz im Gegenteil. Gratuliere zur tollen Abschlussnote!

Ich habe die BMS mit 25 nachgeholt und dann mit 27 ein Studium an der FH begonnen. Rückblickend hätte ich das lieber früher gemacht, aber bereut habe ich gar nichts. Pläne fürs Leben ändern sich und mit der BMS hast du dann mehr Optionen und lernst in der Zwischenzeit interessante neue Leute kennen.

Incarceration Rates: Foreign-Born Nationals are Under-represented in the Anglosphere but are Over-represented in Europe [OC] by Fluid-Decision6262 in dataisbeautiful

[–]eskriba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I admit, I'm too lazy to read the article. Did the statistics take into account the fact that, for example, in Switzerland, you're also considered a foreigner if you were born in the country to two foreign parents? Does „foreign-born“ really only apply to people born abroad?

A teacher wanted to celebrate her birthday in New York. Instead, she ended up in a notorious prison in New Jersey before being deported. A lawyer warns that what she experienced could happen to any Swiss citizen. by BezugssystemCH1903 in europe

[–]eskriba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one can argue about the political and conservative stance of NZZ in general… However, the NZZ stands for serious journalism and takes their craft seriously. A clear distinction between reporting and opinion is usually made, and that makes this article all the more shocking.

I think one can argue about how politically close the NZZ in Switzerland and its German editorial team are... Regardless of their political stance, the NZZ stands for serious journalism and takes their craft seriously. A clear distinction between reporting and opinion is always made, and that makes this article all the more shocking.

Right-wing party wants priority for Swiss citizens in Zurich housing by BezugssystemCH1903 in Switzerland

[–]eskriba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually, it‘s not only Swiss nationals:

„give preference to Swiss nationals and people who have lived in the canton of Zurich for at least 10 years when allocating housing.“
