Politicians getting kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies etc. Or other industries. Human nature…..
I hear some people stir their Rösti constantly while frying, instead of frying one side and then the other.
Too many barber shops per capita, there must be something off there
There is some shady stuff going on with companies who make those labels for doorbells/mailboxes that you are forced to buy when you move into a new place and it’s like 60 bucks for 2 stupid pieces of plastic
That there is a massive lobby in products like drinks and snacks and similar stuff in hospitals and other public facilities that persuades said facilities in buying and selling their stuff only and not considering others. All this goes at the expense of the general public.
Real life example: Why does Unispital Zürich have to order their food and beverages from Transgourmet, a coop subsidiary, that is most definitely the most expensive one?
Why not get Lidl or Aldi or literally MIGROS to deliver the food for you? They are all cheaper and considerably better alternatives. But no, it is transgourmet.
And then again, what brands do they order? Coca Cola and the most expensive yoghurts from Emmi.
So, my point is, that there is no fair market because either the people collude with their own interests (stocks etc.) or the companies lobby their way into stuff they should not be able to lobby in.
Obvious price fixing across competitors in nearly every industry.
Next time you are at any restaurant look at the cheapest meal, they are all virtually the same price irrespective of what kind of restaurant you are in. There is a minimum which has obviously been agreed somewhere or somehow.
Some say this just represents the minimum possible in Switzerland given the cost of everything which is nonsense. A plate of pasta costs about 2 chf when the ingredients are bought in bulk. Why should that then sell for 26-28 CHF everywhere?
This is just one example but you can see it everywhere once you start looking.
The constant construction in the same locations is a mafia coverup
systematic revocation of majority left wing cities’ autonomy by the majority right wing country side with e.g reduced transit spending resulting in a more car orientated landscape & city-unfriendly policies such as “no 30km/h”
Kartels and corruption.
All those coiffeur places are mafia fronts for laundering money. There are like 20 barbershops in Zurich on Badenerstrasse and they’re like 20 meters from each other. You can’t convince me each of them is profitable and is able to pay 4 employees who are mostly outside smoking or on their phones.
Another point: making SBB and/or Post private is actually worsening their situation.
Paying a CEO is more expensive, consequently abusing workers because said CEO wants more money is more expensive on the long run (training loss after people leave the whole industry etc.), forcing a profit is more expensive on the end consumer and forces the company to be greedy which in turn forces them to have weak public service capabilities that are just too expensive.
But as the government “profits” off of it, I can not prove it’s not better that way.
One good compromise would be to actually pick a CEO and assure they consider some base values that can not be avoided.
Migration is pushing rents up. Can’t prove it and obviously there are other factors such as lack of new buildings, but with so many people moving in it just feels like demand is way ahead of supply. Latest numbers show ca 5.9 net migrants per 1‘000 people in 2024. For comparison, Germany is around 1.8/1‘000…
That all the coiffure salons are actually just a front for money laundering and the state is doing nothing because it actually benefits them.
EDIT: correction, not all of them, I know one lady very personally and she is definitely just doing real business, but some salons are really sketchy and you can’t make this up that they have so little work but are at a premium spot.
Also: some fast food restaurants like kebab-holes or shawarma-shops are definitely doing shady business. I can’t grasp why the tax police did not do anything there to punish them.
But then, once you look at criminal stats: Swiss are actually the majority of criminals here doing financial scams including money laundering. Maybe that explains the reluctancy of actually doing something?
Home internet companies all run 70% discount at all times and they all end up being about 40 bucks a month. Price fixing much
Politicians get 1000% by lobbyists to vote for rising prices such as rent, health insurance, food, restaurants etc.
The whole population is mourning for years about krankenkassenprämien but nothing happens. Same with rent.
Politicians are corrupt af.
The Post has insiders working together with scammers.
Krankenkasse is a massive scam.
Still hiding goods stole by the Nazi party in the 1940s
Swiss hippies/alternative scenes are the prime demographic for Russian/right wing propaganda seeing as they’re so against government and anything associated with science
Both sides of the political extremism spectrum are not only gaining traction but also followers and violence is on the rise.
Moderate, constructive people willing to talk to each other respectfully are becoming less and less.
They are rigging the machines you can see at the Cailler museum so people still buy the whole “They all taste the same” lie about the bars that’s there so you won’t suspect *too much* they are actually slightly lower quality. Cailler saves up billions each year that way.
Swiss to Swiss real estate transactions that never hit the market (rental or sale), making you believe the insane offers on Homegate represent “the market”
yes barber shops and sun store pharmacies
The government supports (or gets “lobbied by) de facto mono- or duopolies and we customers always end up paying the price.
And now on top of that, they’re trying to scrap the free import threshold (currently 150 CHF) just to block competition from abroad.
They want us to buy overpriced stuff, worse services and we better be happy about it…
Albanians paying out the politicians and government officials, silently taking over the country.
Migros slowly going out of business.
Big banks still launder criminal money.
I m deeply disturbed by what’s going on at specific areas of Zurich on 1st of May, and feel that the whole world goes to hell (not just Switzerland). This aggressive crowd feeling, makes no good to noone.
I am pretty sure that theres a huge drug operation in elysia disco
I wanna find you why the prices are so insane at the supermarket to a point where i have to think TWICE about getting the tiny luxury of my fav Coop dessert that jumped from 2.65 to a WHOLE 3.85 for 2 ! It has become more interesting for me to buy fruits and veggies at the market now regarding the prices and i just dont buy the whole inflation blabla : When i have to buy oil, toilet paper, trash bags in the same month is will never recover financialy, explain to me why. Why is rent so insane, why is insurance bleeding me, why is working full time and having a descent salary is no longer enough ?!!!!
Why is the choice of shampoo/shower gel so limited? Nivea Lobby?
Migros and Coop employees buy most of their groceries in Aldi and Lidl.
