Sorry but you're exaggerating, a full meal including drinks in a mid-level establishment will be at max. 50 chf and that's being generous. And with cheaper places you can even stay below 20 chf.

Yes, Switzerland is expensive but there's no need to lie about it. Also the stuff about millionaires and all maybe fits a couple streets in Switzerland that are very touristy but there are plenty of places not at all like this.

Maybe, but at least 4 people in the video have lost their jobs over this, so it has at least some consequences.

You're mixing up two values here. Switzerland imports less than 10% of its electricity, the number you're probably referring to is the total of "Energieträgern", so oil, oal, gasoline, etc.

In Switzerland we pretty much lack professional healthcare staff all the time (like half our doctors are from Germany it feels). I'm not working in the industry but afaik nursing is better paid than in Germany, just other conditions around the job are very stressful and make many people leave.

During Covid, things got bad enough that a popular initiative by the trade unions got passed which demanded augmentations to the working conditions. The concrete improvements will soon get voted on and hopefully quickly implemented.

If you already speak German fluently, learning to understand Swiss German will hopefully not be too much of a challenge to you.

Update: I looked it up and a professional nurse makes on average a bit more than median income here.

That's great news! I stopped playing after the gold seal, but ill probably get back into it with these new features. I can only recommend the game for anyone who likes to play city builders with production lines, it's such a refreshing take on the genre.
