- - 3000 dollars per month for everyone in Switzerland...votes on! (https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1125362)

The minimum wage was like $15/hour when I was there in 2005. McDonalds was $15 USD for a combo meal. The exchange back then was close to one to one. The country already is super expensive. I am not sure how this law reads but raising the minimum wage is way different then giving people money. You can't just give everyone money as a govt. You have to collect it to give out and there are costs with collecting. This is a very odd idea.

That's about the dumbest thing I've heard this week. I hope they pass it. Anyone that thinks that way deserves free money.

I have moved 2 month ago to Zürich and 3000 $ is nothing here in Swiss. A little bread roll costs nearly 2$. A Pizza 30$. 30 minutes night bus 8 $ and so on. Thats why even the girl in the supermarket earns around 4000 $

For good sake my company gave me the appartment for free. Because they start at around 2000 $ per month :-)

but thats one more reason why i live in CZ - for the same money you can go for dinner here with 2 people incl. food and drinks

I cook for myself a lot actually :)
But to clarify it is not even lunch at a real restaurant for that money.
It's more a kind of Walmart with fresh sandwiches and salads to take away.

Not that the food is bad :)
Food is one thing i really loved over there, but that's probably typically me :D

Next to that i'm dutch :) so we're cheap as they say ;-)

Kudos to Switzerland!

Yeah that would fix everything! What's inflation?

Funniest idea I ever heard. Let it rain money!!!

That is welfare you idiot.

Welfare is the provision of a minimal level of well-being and social support for all citizens, sometimes referred to as public aid.

Yeah, it will be interesting to watch the inflation this causes. Everything there is already so expensive, and it'll now get even worse.

Swiss is really strong country... but that's just crazy :)

Nearly every Alaska resident will receive a check for $900, as this year's share of the state's oil wealth.

This year's payout wasn't expected to be much because of the recession.

.........................................

The amount of each person's dividend is based on a five-year rolling average of worldwide investment markets that were hard-hit far outside Alaska. This year, the calculation means the checks likely won't amount to much, certainly nowhere near the record payout of $2,069 in 2008.

.................................................. .............

This year's average includes 2009, a recession year when the fund posted a $2.5 billion net loss in statutory net income.

Last year's dividend was $878 per person, the lowest since 2005.

The dividends are distributed annually to residents who have lived in Alaska for at least one calendar year. The amount based on a five-year average of the $47 billion Alaska Permanent Fund's investment earnings, so this year's average includes 2009, a recession year when the fund posted a $2.5 billion net loss in statutory net income.

Alaska wasn't as hurt by the recession, but the Permanent Fund Corp. has a diversified portfolio, and it took a beating when markets plunged in the U.S and worldwide.

State officials have said that as long as 2009 is part of the five-year calculation, the amount will be on the lower end. After this year, 2009 will drop from the equation.

Last year's dividend was $878, the lowest amount since 2005 and the ninth-lowest in the program that began more than three decades ago. The 2011 dividend was $1,174.

The Permanent Fund was established in 1976 after North Slope oil was discovered. The state began distributing money from the fund to residents in 1982.

count me in :thumbsup
