This is what it looks like in Germany:
And this is what's happening in Switzerland:
Yeah, right, I wonder why exactly the same text (including the typing error in the last sentence, just with a different name) came back to an inquiry for a different apartment three weeks ago...Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to look at my apartment. My name is Sabrina Lemann, i have inherited this apartment from my uncle who unfortunately passed away last year and as i am not looking to move to Germany, as i was born and raised in England. The apartment comes with 1 parking spot,a storage unit where you can deposit my furniture (if you don't like it and you want use your furniture),there is also a linen closet, and most importantly, a new washer and drier.
Pets allowed.
I am looking to rent it for as long as possible, and I hope that you can send me some personal information about yourself. The rent of the apartment for 1 month is EURO 500 all bills included.
Let me know if you hae further interest and i can provide you with more details

If you translate that into Swiss numbers, you might make 100kSFr which according to that chart would be around 15% effective tax rate. Less than in Germany, but not that big of a difference.
I could swear it wasn't there yesterday
It's complicated
As of the 31st of Aug my local pub will be closing down.
The current owner is retiring (for the 2nd time) and I hope the place finds a buyer as it is a rare example of a proper pub where local(ish) beers are on tap, there is an open fire, fights are an exceptionally rare occurrence and you'll never be lacking in people to talk to. To be quite frank it's a travesty that this village will be left without a pub other than the one under the place's last open hotel...
When did we brits become so obsessed with the concept of getting wankered in the shortest amount of time possible and porking a piece or cheap skirt rather than wiling away a nice evening in a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere? Perhaps I'm just old before my time but I fear for the future of this country and feel alienated by many of it's populace...
Also, I am quite drunk and have to run a factory in five hours, fuck my fucking shitty life.
It used to be that standard shipping meant "we ship it ASAP but it gets there when it gets there." Now its "we sit around picking our noses, then scramble last minute to get it to you by the promised date."
Why don't you take over the pub? Sounds like a step up from the factory job.As of the 31st of Aug my local pub will be closing down.

This seems to be accelerated in urban areas where the only pub patrons seem to be the permanently unemployed who have nothing better to do.My local is dying to, it's suffering from 'taken over by idiots syndrome' for a while now, and now there are problems with the building changing hands and the lease agreement.....I don't see it lasting long.
Speak for yourself, most of the people I know are just glad to have a job...I think it has to do with the lifestyle people now have over what there used to be. Younger folks my age don't work in factories or other shitty places because they're shitty.

He probably doesn't have the funds to do that.
