RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

If I were a Russia, personally, I'd want to live in Germany, Switzerland, or Sweden, or Finland because of the minimum wages and happiness indexes but also just because I would want to enlist to fight Russia as a sense of responsibility for my nation.
Switzerland does not have a minimum wage sadly
Neither does Finland. Or, it kinda does. The law says that "the salary is not allowed to be significantly lower than what is typical for that profession."
Whether that counts as a minimum wage or not, is a matter of opinion.
There is no nationwide minimum wage but at least 5 cantons have them and there are some industry-wide minimum wages as a result of high union participation.
