Because there is no place on earth having capitalism!! What you have is cronyism or corpocratism. Together with communism that's basically all the choices you have. And I agree it's also tight to the fiat money system but not only. Als Long as people demand solutions from the state they will never get freedom, they will get regulation. A state is here to protect you, not to solve your problems!

Switzerland Is Still The Most Expensive Place In The World To Eat Out

Switzerland Is Still The Most Expensive Place In The World To Eat Out

The $20 that buys one inexpensive restaurant meal in the U.S. buys about three in Japan, nine in India, and 12 in Bangladesh.

In eight European countries, led by Switzerland, it would not cover even one.

All 98 prices come from https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/prices_by_country.jsp?itemId=1&displayCurrency=USD, accessed on August 24, 2026.

Numbeo’s prices are crowdsourced from users reporting what they paid locally and converted to U.S. dollars at market exchange rates. The prices represent a meal at an inexpensive restaurant by local convention, so the ranking compares the lower-cost end of each country’s restaurant market rather than one identical dish priced 98 times.

The roster moves between pulls: Israel, Luxembourg, and Russia carried no data on the access date and are absent here, though they appear in other pulls of the same dataset.

Switzerland Is the Most Expensive

At $31.20, Switzerland is a clear outlier, costing nearly a third more than second-place Norway at $23.60.

The table, https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-the-most-and-least-expensive-countries-to-eat-out/ ranks all 98 countries and territories from most to least expensive, including the 38 the graphic leaves out.

The 38 countries omitted from the graphic, priced between $12.88 and $6.33, are mostly in Eastern Europe and Latin America. The global median of $9.35 falls between Turkey and Slovakia.

Several wealthy economies also fall in this middle range, including Singapore at $11.82, Hong Kong at $8.29, and South Korea at $7.21. Every Gulf state does as well, from the UAE at $9.26 to Saudi Arabia at $6.65.

Europe Dominates the Most Expensive Countries

Seventeen of the 20 most expensive countries are European; the exceptions are the United States, Canada, and Australia. Behind Switzerland, the Nordic and Benelux countries bunch tightly: Norway at $23.60, Denmark at $23.43, Belgium and the Netherlands at $23.36, and Ireland at $23.35 span just 25 cents.

Currency conversion helps explain two visible clusters. Eight countries at $17.52, including France, Germany, and Spain, and five at $14.01, including Portugal and Croatia, are eurozone members reporting round local prices of €15 and €12.

Europe is far from uniform, however. Hungary sits at $12.88 and Bulgaria at $11.94, while the continent’s spread runs more than fivefold from Switzerland to Kosovo at $5.84.

The U.S. Ranks Ninth

The U.S. ranks ninth at $20.00, making it the only non-European country in the top 10. Italy sits just above it at $20.19.

Austria ranks 10th at $18.68, followed by Canada at $18.11, about 10% cheaper than the U.S.

Japan Is the Cheapest G7 Country

Japan ranks 69th of 98 at $6.29, below the global median and far cheaper than any other G7 economy. The next-cheapest members, France and Germany, cost nearly three times as much.

The low price does not signal a thin restaurant sector: Japan ranks third worldwide with 351 https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-countries-with-the-most-michelin-starred-restaurants/, behind only France and Italy.

Japan also undercuts Singapore, Hong Kong, and South Korea. Among its high-income neighbors, only Taiwan, at $4.71, is cheaper. Japan’s placement reflects what a visitor holding dollars would pay, not what the meal represents to a household earning yen.

Asia and Africa Have the Cheapest Meals

Indonesia at $1.70 and Bolivia at $1.73 sit just above Bangladesh at the bottom. Eleven of the 20 cheapest countries are in Asia and five are in Africa, where Nigeria is the cheapest entry at $1.85.

South Asia clusters near the bottom, with Nepal at $1.96, India at $2.09, and Pakistan at $2.16. China comes in at $2.98.

Six of the world’s 10 most populous countries rank among the 20 cheapest, meaning some of the lowest restaurant prices in the dataset apply to countries containing a substantial share of the world’s population.

Crude Tumbles On Return To Alleged Deal In Motion Iran Headlines

Crude Tumbles On Return To Alleged Deal In Motion Iran Headlines

Update(1225ET): Crude tumbles on a new Reuters report signaling a return to [dubious?] 'deal in motion' headlines: US and Iran reportedly discuss phased deal to reopen Hormuz and end US blockade, according to Reuters citing sources

This seems just a reiteration of Iranian demands, but crude still reacted (per Rtrs):

- A senior Iranian official said the most plausible way to end the impasse would be a phased arrangement, with Iran allowing navigation through Hormuz in return for the US lifting its economic blockade and Tehran potentially gaining access to frozen assets.

- Neither side wants to surrender leverage driving diplomacy

- Iran signals flexibility on fees, not on Strait of Hormuz

- Gulf states reject Iranian control of the strait

It was just this month which saw the Iran conflict spill over into a renewed fight between the Saudi coalition and Yemen's Houthi rebels. Now Iran is threatening to expand the fight further, even into the Indian Ocean.

Yahya Rahim Safavi, an adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, warned Thursday of another significant expanse of the war if the Islamic Republic suffers attack again.

"Since the conflict has spread from the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz to the Red Sea, it is possible that, in response to more war, the front will expand even further, reaching the Indian Ocean and perhaps beyond," https://www.straitstimes.com/world/middle-east/iran-threatens-to-expand-war-to-indian-ocean-if-us-attacks-again Safavi in a video published by Iran's Fars news agency.

The strategic British military base at Diego Garcia, which is also heavily used by the United States, lies deep in the Indian Ocean - some 2400 miles away.

The Iranians are believed to have actually fired ICBMs on the base at the height of Trump's Operation Epic Fury.

Diego Garcia was first targeted on March 21st, with The Wall Street Journal at the time https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/iran-fires-ballistic-missiles-far-diego-garcia-military-base one missile had a mid-flight malfunction, while the other was engaged by an SM-3 interceptor missile fired from a US Navy vessel, though it's unclear whether this latter projectile ever hit its target.

Iranian negotiators are vowing they will not back off Tehran's firm conditions for ending the war, after this week sitting down with the US team in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Meanwhile another attack on the Saudi kingdom by the Houthis:

"They broke the agreement and committed another vicious act. We have therefore toughened our conditions," spokesman for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Brig. Gen. Hossein Mohbi https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/us-has-no-choice-accept-irans-conditions-says-irgc in an interview this week. He also said that if the US doesn't change its trajectory, it "will only make things difficult for themselves".

"We are not their playthings, and they cannot unilaterally violate an agreement they signed whenever they please," he emphasized.

Bloomberg just dropped the most disturbing investigation I have read this year, and every AI builder should read it and take it seriously.

"We believe we have won this war, and we are currently consolidating that victory into a total deterrent force," he added.

1st nostr would need to be promoted using one client because that confuses people the most. Let people onboard on one, they can and will develop taste from there.

2nd you then need a big marketing campaign for this one client on all the other social medias.

3rd It would help to have a celebrity here. Like a real one not some famous bitcoiner.

As a first timer I would always opt for Ubuntu. Biggest community, biggest app support via various package repositories and easy to understand. Gui is clean simple and complete. PopOS if you are a developer and or if you have an Nvidia card. Still based on Ubuntu but suits this cases much better.

Then I would explore taste from there using a VM.

Sadly true. Even after the information suppression people experienced live during COVID, they prefer a simple mainstream single solution. You can't install nostr, you have to pick one of 1000 clients and so on. It like Linux with distributions and packege managers. I get it it's all nice and cool and you can choose. But that's not how to attract the mass and thus there will never be more engagement as there is. It's a pity I really wish people would switch over.

It's too late, if it's possible someone is doing it regardless. It's better it's done in public than in some lab somewhere. Ai does what you teach it and what you ask it to do. In the end it's all a marketing stunt, keeping evaluations high enough to refinance their huge debt one more time and then IPO.
