  1. That’s just stupid. It’s not even worth arguing. Then if an immigrant leaves he gets his 50k back?

  2. i_would_say_so on

    Economically this doesn’t make sense – but life is not just about the economy. Seeing fewer people might be nice. If you have children, ensuring they will see less competition in job market is also a cool feature – probably appreciated by most parents of young adults. It would be shame if Switzerland went the way of Canada, where basically every “starter job” is done by some 50 year old Indian/Pakistani/EasternEUer
