Yeah, do your due diligence. All there is here are HQs with upper management, just enough to tax corporations here, and often some research. Manufacturing - almost zero, zilch, none. And if there is something, it can't manufacture anything without all parts supplied from outside (cheaper) countries.

Of-topic a bit, but you know that 'swiss' army knives (victorinox, wenger) are manufactured piece by piece in Germany/Austria, and only final assembly is done en Suisse? Just enough work to pass the criteria to get the stamp 'swiss made', not a nanometer more.

I understand it from cold corporate logic, it really minimizes the costs and they ask for premium price nevertheless due to that swiss tag. But as we see now, this approach hits the wall hard in certain, very real scenarios. At least they kept the milk industry with long term subsidies afloat.

Go talk to Swiss doctors if you care, ideally in cantonal hospitals that will take most of the sick. Most of our friends are doctors in the biggest one in whole country, quite a few in emergencies. You will hear stories...

None of the stuff I mention is in mainstream media, all act like all is under control from day 0. Talk about independent journalism.
