Why would an European need to cross the Pacific? Asia is reachable by land.

Good! Use trains.

Ah yes, the Chinese are beating us with superior technology, let's cut some research & development

Nazis are so stupid.

But they still won't move off of WhatsApp.

That is of course your choice.

What I do is have heavy, bulky and durable stuff delivered in bulk. Cleaning supplies, toilet paper, tins and pickles, pasta, grains, legumes, things like that, you get the idea. This way the delivery cost amortises nicely.

Fresh things like vegetables and fruits I then buy myself using an ebike. Since it makes no sense to buy a lot of that at once (it'd only spoil) everything fits into a backpack.

S-Pedelec, cargo bike, also, delivery services

Correct!

Switzerland implements the OECD standards for automatic tax information exchange with other nations, and has done so for a long time

The capitalism part is always funny. Depending on who you talk to, it is either a capitalist paradise or a socialist paradise. Probably because it has a lot of both. Roughly 50% of the economy is in the hands of state or state-owned companies. On the other hand, companies can also fire employees without needing a reason. There are large and powerful unions, but there are no rights to strike. There is mandatory state-regulated health insurance for everyone which covers basically everything, but it's provided through private insurances. Lots capitalism-socialism "contradictions" for those who don't know how the country actually works, and don't want to spend the time to do so.

So people tend to pick what fits their beliefs so that they can criticise the country, usually to make themselves feel better wrt their jealousy of its wealth, stability and beauty.

China is a very similar size to the USA and has an excellent and extensive high-speed rail network.

The USA could have this too, if it wanted to, but it doesn't.
