6·1 month agoATM’s don’t even disperse them, as they cap at 50€ (so in order to acquire 800€ in 500€, 200€ & 100€ notes: I had to visit a bank to withdraw in person via a teller requesting specific denominations). Will electronic stores accept 2000€ in cash for an iPhone 18 consisting of x10 200€ or x4 500€ notes?

0·1 month agoSwiss Francs for instance isn’t “Monopoly Money”, worth more than USD as Fr. 1 = $1.23 (the highest bill they have is Fr. 1000 or $1,234) plus the Fr. 1000 bill has stronger security features than a $100 bill.

he would end up putting himself on the bills
The closest example of this is from the Chinese Yuan, where Mao Zedong is depicted in all denominations. (So, it’ll be the same if Trump decided to replace current issued $ into a new series with him on it).

10·1 month agoWhen the Burj Khalifa was first constructed there’s a flaw, they didn’t install a proper sewer system. So what happened was that “poop” trucks showed up to collect waste in which is taken to a sewage plant. That only ceased when people demanded for a pipe to be installed connecting the building to the main sewer system.

3·1 month agoI have a 200€ (& 500€) note, but stores hesitate to accept either due to fears of being a counterfeit. Jobs don’t pay in cash anymore (as salaries are given via bank transfer), you can withdraw either by heading to a bank (in person) requesting higher denominations since most ATMs cap at 50-100€ depending on the country.

You don’t hear stuff like “black person gets shot for holding an object” in Switzerland frequently, since that barely happens. The reason may be that the populace is homogenous (consisting of predominantly Caucasians) and less public distrust towards authorities.
The training for Swiss cops is 2 years (not that different from Denmark or Germany where an officer needs 3 years training before they’re considered a cop), compare that to California police training which lasts 6 months (like WTF? That’s not even long, let alone fit enough for the job).

drive two hours
That also adds more expenses: like gasoline, if the route they use has a gas station (fuel costs money) alongside tolls for highways (interstate) plus traffic at peak hour (not even going to discuss parking).

21·2 months agoMSM pitch the “think of the children” agenda (whilst omitting mass surveillance) as they’re either lobbied by politicians or paid by the state on pushing the narrative of “banning SM for kids -16 alleviates them being cyberbullied, exposure to violent or sexual content” with sharing sob stories trying to pinch people’s heart.
