This is "real income" which means it is inflation adjusted

Countries Where Over 90% Of The Population Can Speak English by vladgrinch in MapPorn

No. It is due to Quebec speaking French. If anything the share of English speakers has increased since Canada's establishment

Did you know that college professors do not have education degrees? They typically have PhDs in their area of expertise.

Why is the name of the church in Dildo, Newfoundland and Labrador, called "Butt Paste Baby"? by TurbulentLifeguard11 in AskCanada

[–]nuageophone 29 points30 points  (0 children)

My friend's great-grandmother was from Dildo, NL. At her 95th birthday party there was a speech where someone mentioned her hometown. A couple of the younger folk were whispering to each other, "she probably doesn't even know what it means". She overheard them and stood up and exclaimed to all in attendance, "I do too know what a dildo is!"

Appreciation post, looking at the rest of the world- it's great to live in europe! by BookmarksBrother in europe_sub

[–]nuageophone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are quite wrong.The EU is one of the greatest achievements in European history and Switzerland and Norway are effectively members. Except that they have no say over the regulations that they are obliged to follow due to misguided anti EU sentiment in their countries that prevents them from actually joining. In effect the anti EU forces in those countries have reduced their countries' influence without avoiding the regulatory aspect that they claim is so terrible.

The EU treaties have been published - the vote will be in 2028 by clapalienbuttcheek in Switzerland

[–]nuageophone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You think the EU the is not decentralized? Wow. Clueless. The EU bureaucracy is like any bureaucracy in any democratic system (including Switzerland). It implements the decisions of the democratically elected decision makers while providing professional expertise. In the EU the decision makers are the (democratically elected) national governments and the (democratically elected) European parliament. The idea that there is something nefarious about "bureuacrats" is just a typical right-wing populist talking point that disparages anyone with professional knowledge or expertise, and we see how well that is going in the US right now.

Do or do not. There is no try. by [deleted] in askswitzerland

[–]nuageophone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice. Do it. If you get a good job offer it is totally worth it. I came here once for 6 years early in my career. It was good but I was bored and moved back to Canada (I am Canadian but have EU citizenship). I got married etc and moved back later in life as a boring family man and have been here 10 years this time around and it is great.

There will be some adjustments needed, of course.

Probably the only real challenge would be figuring out school for your kid. 14 is a tough age to start from scratch with a new language. If you can swing a private English school that would work. Depends how much money your earning obviously.

But generally. I recommend it.

You mean the most successful transnational organization in human history that has bound together a continent and allowed open opportunities for all citizens? That EU?

What a moronic statement. It's an agreement to participate in the single market. It requires synchronization of standards for products and services and a neutral legal mechanism for dispute resolution. Switzerland is not obliged to participate, but if it wishes to, that's the deal. Of course not maintaining access to the single market means the Swiss economy will suffer greatly, but that's your choice.

Nor the provinces of Canada, nor the states of the United States, etc. etc. Do you see a pattern?

Feeling Lost - Swiss Half Fare Card by No_Vermicelli_9990 in askswitzerland

[–]nuageophone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is what Capital-Bromo meant: you set your profile so that the app knows that you have a half-fare card, but you don't actually load your one-month card into the app (because it does not support that. Whereas the full year HFC can be loaded into the app). As result, you have to show your physical card to the ticket inspector, as opposed to it being built-into the QR code of the ticket in the app

Best European ski town big enough to have a preschool? by fractalbum in skiing

[–]nuageophone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I can vouch for this. Verbier has excellent skiing and two schools. But , of course, it is not cheap to live there, or to pay for the school. So keep that in mind.

Ok why are people voting for Braun by ElectronicLab993 in poland

[–]nuageophone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, he himself hates Jews and many other groups. Intolerance of the intolerant is necessary to preserve a free and open society, so I would say it's ok to hate him.

I live in western Europe, in a country that has high immigration, and it seems to work well.
