The Swiss have a VASTLY different economy than we do, to the point where there is no comparison. We can’t sustain that kind of minimum wage. It’s entirely possible that Switzerland can.

Under the laws of economics you can do as you like. What you can’t do is escape the cost of doing what you like.
