You can have them for a selected time and after using them you just return them to the parking spot and leave them. It's pretty cheap and the only thing you need to do is select a timeframe on their app and pay them 2.- CHF per hour and 0.60 CHF for every kilometer. 1 CHF = 1.14 USD and our monthly salary for jobs like a barber is 3'700.- and for nurses 5'000.- so it's very affordable when you need a car for something.

With a network like we have in Switzerland, it is objectively the best way to travel. You can get everywhere, it's more comfortable and cheaper than a car (the full-year pass for the entirety of Switzerland costs about $4,000, a car costs about $10,000 per year on average), it's safer than a car, you can spend your voyage working, watching a movie or reading a book (less wasted time), you can enjoy the view ... Speed is probably the only advantage of a car, but only outside of rush-hour. If you need to transport stuff, there's a car sharing service that has transport vans in perfect condition. You can rent them on an hourly basis, which is, again, cheaper than owning a car if you don't use it every day. And you don't have to use it every day because there's brillant public transportation. It's not just how you're brought up, many give up their cars once they've moved here (especially in cities) because they're simply not necessary.

Germans have a very “healthy” approach to the time of National Socialism. On the one hand, we are very aware of the actions and events that took place back then, and this is also addressed in detail in school. An important part of this education is the visit to a concentration camp (now museums). We are also aware of the impact on the world and can still talk about it openly. It is by no means a taboo subject, and we have learned to address this period openly without glorifying it, but rather to see it for what it was: a terrible time that changed the world, during which Germany slaughtered millions of people. Since then, Germany has also been continuously helping other countries in many ways. We can also speak satirically and humorously about this time, but always with respect and reverence for the victims. Foreigners can also ask us questions about it. What we cannot tolerate, however, is when undereducated foreigners come along and think they can make jokes about this time at the expense of the victims. We also have laws that, for example, impose severe penalties for Holocaust denial. Americans in particular often think that this restricts the right to “free speech.” However, we do not have a right to free speech. We have freedom of expression. That is something different, but even that has its limits where the dignity of others is affected. Therefore, we do not have those grotesque scenes where citizens call and shout at police officers as “shit bags” or similar. I think that’s exactly how it should be. Americans often have a strange understanding of freedom. Freedom, yes, but only as long as it does not infringe on the freedom of others. In short, you can talk openly with us about it. But either be informed or be interested, just don’t joke about that time. Of course, there are also some misguided individuals who think they can glorify that period. These are neo-Nazis, who are monitored and prosecuted wherever legally possible. Fortunately, they are a minority and must always remain so. Germans are still fighting to ensure this today.

Too much tourism is a bad thing indeed. I’m from Bologna, northern Italy, and we had a tourism boom roughly 3 years ago. Bologna is a university city (we have the oldest university in europe, founded 1088 ad), but now most people who used to rent to students converted the apartaments in bnbs, and the price of all apartments rentals has gone totally berserk. Old, traditional workshop close down, and expensive tourist traps open up in their place, life gets exponentially more expensive for everyone. It’s both an economic and cultural problem, and the solution is not banning tourism, but better managing it (like with waaay stricter rules on airbnb, like they did in Berlin). At 20:12 it’s the interior of the (still underconstruction) Sagrada Familia.

@@Average_Middle_Aged_American In Europe, people do not _speculate_ with real estate as they do in the USA, at least not to the same extent. Buying a home is often a retirement plan in the sense that it is rented out and the mortgage is paid off through the rent while the landlord family lives in their (inherited) family home. Sometimes the apartment is meant as the first home for a child when moving out. When the parents get old, they claim the rented apartment for themselves and leave the family home to the children. We don't buy and sell houses and apartments like you do in the USA. And we don't look at real estate prices like at share prices on the stock market. That's, by the way, the reason why we don't have HOAs, because nobody cares if real estate prices go up or down, just because some neighbour doesn't mow his lawn or paints his house pink … PS: And yes, I too currently have and have had in past very nice landlords who don't rip off their tenants …

@@Average_Middle_Aged_American Yes, I know. But I wanted to explain that here - unlike in the US - the retirement plan of "owning a home" does not mean selling it to have money for retirement. That's why real estate prices and their fluctuations are not so important to us. As you've heard in other videos, we buy/build a home to keep - usually for generations to come. Selling your parents' house, where you and your siblings grew up, is tantamount to sacrilege for most Europeans. So the whole real estate sector is completely different here, and the real estate crisis of 2008 could not have happened here - with _one_ exception: Spain! Back then, there were speculators who built cheap apartments for foreigners and Spaniards as vacation homes on a grand scale, but this was a huge Ponzi scheme that collapsed together with the American Ponzi scheme in 2008 and led Spain into a deep economic crisis. Now it's starting again with Air B&B, and Spaniards are already fearing the next crisis because the government simply can't get the housing situation under control. Scaring away a few tourists and not having the problems they bring with them seems like a better choice than losing your own culture (=becoming Disney Land) and the next national bankruptcy, doesn't it?

Yeah switzerland is hella expensive in general. At least for internationals. They also earn very very well, so it evens out for them, but I'm from germany and whenever I go to switzerland I'll definitely need to have a look on how much I'm spending. Many southern germans at the border work in switzerland for the higher wages but live in germany for the cheaper cost of living, that's one of the benefits of having the free movement of people without border checks. Switzerland isn't part of the EU, but effectively has joined the Schengen Area nonetheless

fun video .. greetings from switzerland .. to the tourists falling from mountains, that's surprisingly rare at least fatal accidents mostly it's bad shoes .. HOWEVER our rivers are dangerous and often underestimated .. we had a smallish river near where I grew up it looks harmless and as kids we used to play there all the time, but every year around 10 people would die there, mostly foreighners
