By accident I ended up on the phone in Switzerland today with a fellow German from the same region where I grew up.

Just your average Joe, telling me the same story: It's going downhill in Germany, no job opportunities, worse security, grim outlook. He left over 10 years ago and already became Swiss.

Quote: "Switzerland is still like Germany during the times of the Deutsche Mark."

I agree, I just hope Switzerland will never join the EU.

The only people he knows from his hometown who stayed are the ones who inherited real estate or have secure state jobs.

There is a quiet exodus of the productive people going on, it will be almost impossible to reverse course in the future.

Good luck Germany 👋
