Switzerland is great and I live there too, but the USA is hardly dysfunctional and we shouldn't overpraise Switzerland. This is a country that now has basically only one big bank, for a country that was once famous for banking! And look at how many well paid tech jobs in .ch are with US firms. Try and create a tech startup in Switzerland and you will quickly figure out why.

Switzerland is no good because they don’t have enough banks or tech startups? I’m not sure everyone would agree that those are the most important metrics.

Switzerland actually has plenty of banks still. Not sure why parent was making such a big deal out of Credit Suisse going bankrupt.
