RANT: I'm glad Hong Kong, China and now Russia told us to get fucked. But how sad it's come to that?

7. Switzerland is a pretty swell place to live too.

Unfortunately, even this laughable mini-state spies on its citizens in the same way the NSA does.

And there's other dark aspects and secrets too. Having lived in both places, though, I don't think that the US comes off as that great of a nation. But then Switzerland is probably an unfair comparison since it has about the highest living standard of anywhere in the world.

Still, I find myself thinking about the differences allot lately. Though it's not easy to compare. I've had several job offers from the US over the years that I've been living here but I can't say that I see myself moving back.

I'm not even quite sure what I am saying. Maybe simply that there are enough other places that are pretty decent to live, with freedumb and all that. So basically I am just seconding your post.
