Police and Firefighters beating each other up, Farmers dropping shit in city centers, high rate of poverty, crime and corruption. No safe drinking water from the tap in many areas in the south of France. Energy instability due to failing nuclear power in combination with electrical heating. Inefficient bureaucracy, violent and extremely racist Police…
This reminds me of the debate regarding racism, fascist extremism and violence in the German police. Whenever something happened it was deflected by politics as an “Einzelfall” a solitary occurence. When you keep seeing what you call “micro events” you should look into the underlying pattern.
I once worked with someone from France, while working in a German branch for a company, and they lived in Switzerland at that time, saying they just pay less taxes that way and take home more money.
Yeah most definetely not. There is a lot of people from the surrounding countries working in Switzerland, but living outside of Switzerland to take advantage of the power of the Franken compared to the Euro.
Doing the opposite really weakens your income, so people in Switzerland tend not to work outside of Switzerland.
How can Canada with its winter rank higher than France though.
Have you been to France?
Yes and?

Ok, so you extrapolate from micro events to create a false generalisation.
Cool cool cool

Drug cartels and gangs spreading everywhere, homelessness in big cities, you can’t walk at night alone as a woman without being harrassed.

Your post makes me think it wasn’t just taxes.
