I assume you mean people on C permits? Saying my statement is "simply not true" is a little strong when I specifically included an "and/or." I'm aware that permanent residents won't be kicked out for this (and probably should have clarified that it affects residents with residency dependent on financial stability), but my point is that they'll still face some consequences even if it's the effect on future naturalization and the regular chiding to apply for jobs, which I actually agree with.
I'm not trying to argue that Switzerland is a bad place for those who are unemployed, but that there are reasons that many people here wouldn't want to depend on it if a low-commitment job like driving for Uber is available.

I think that we mostly agree, my rebuttal was for the original comment implying that the choice was either Uber or starving. The situation is much more complex.
