I wrote Zurich is richer than US and even in Zurich, falling business in Globe making boss turning mad, when he is not able to understand about falling quality in his main club, he watch too much porn which is cheap sex, not 300 for 1 hour.

But the Swiss model cannot be duplicated since they act as a tax haven, leeching off of other countries in the world. The amount of German, French, Italian, Scandinavian, Russian and other rich billionaires who have moved to Switzerland in order to avoid taxes are staggering. In a sane world, Switzerland should be sanctioned by everyone else. But it won't happen as long as they have Davos and BiS (Bank of International Settlement) there. In terms of finance, they are cheaters even worse than the banks in bed with Ny Fed. And on line with Cayman Islands, Malta, Bahamas, Singapore and the rest of the fraudster gang.

You went on and on about chatgpt above. Probably used it on an iPhone or at worst a phone with Android OS. Were these German made?

There are a bunch of Germans and French and Aussies and even Romanians who started tech firms in the US and became insanely rich. None of them are going back. If they are good enough, the smart German techies actually want to be in the US where they can make a difference and make a buck for themselves.

That I can agree on!

The US system, especially on the west coast is far superior to anything we have in europe when it comes to startups and mentality on building tech enterprises. It is a massive problem for Europe, but also a bit difficult to get out of as well when American companies have a tendency to buy out much of what tech Europe has in store. Ofcourse silly European tech entrepreneurs usually just take the cash and leave, instead of staying for the long haul watching the price increase by a ten fold.

Entrepreneurship in the USA is what saves USA these days. And it brain drains even smart Russians and smart Chinese who are theoretical enemies on the field otherwise. It is far more than an easier banking or exelerator system in order to get funded. It is culturally. But mainly a US west coast culture.

Unfortunately Silicon Valley Bank went up in smoke because other banks didn't want to lend it more money. I suspect they wanted Silicon Valley Bank to fall in order to pick up the valuable pieces now that we are about to see a boom in AI tech startups. Many of whom were funded by Silicon Valley Bank. They took the risk, and should be rewarded. Too bad really, and it is not good for the long haul of the US funding culture to not help them out in terms of bank to bank loans.

Bahahaha. Of all the retorts that alluded to this guy being someone who no one likes, this dude removes all doubt and responds with, "well my boss invited me to dinner. " What a miserable existence of a one dimensional and unremarkable tool.

All the rest is just the same selective, revisionist ramblings of a dude who seems to be sleepwalking his way through life with blinders. Go develop a personality. At least start with better insults, they're awful.

Whatever. I get invited by the people I care to visit. Where do you get invited? Not by the country where you got smuggled into In a stinky fishing boat.

Why am I not surprised you have a drug dealer lined up everywhere you go?

FYI, I sleep quite well at night and don't need all the eastern stuff you came up with. Yes, stock market gyrations and making sure of our performance for clients is stressful but not enough to derail my sleep.

What's this crap about getting invited? I get invited by my boss regularly and he owns a fabulous home. And arranged marriage? Does that shit still happen where you come from? You should stop projecting your ethnic background onto everyone else.

Amoeba brain is justified. You mistake an explanation for justification and support. It's like a flat earth Neanderthal who accuses you of trying to make the earth round when told it is not flat..

Thanks for reinforcing my statement, " mental gymnastics, revision of prior statements, and false claims. " At the same time, your reliable tendency to flip the switch from faux intellectualism into an emotional, frustrated potty-mouth warms my heart knowing that I have that much control over your emotions and behavior. But for your own personal health, consider meditation to manage these situations when you are clearly losing your shit. Or if you want, I can give you contacts for some good chill out herb. I have an herb guy in lots of cities!

Apparently you have little knowledge of how many 19 year old girls eventually make their way to German clubs having already become professionals by the first day they pay that FKK entry. It's not by happenstance that many share the same life itinerary of Italy / Spain / UK prior to arriving at a club. Poor 18 year old Romanian girls don't gain that much life experience on their own at such a young age, with little financial resources, no driver's license, and no credit cards. Wake up.

There's some denial going on as you continue to protest that you justified paying these extortion level prices. While providing explanations in itself does not automatically signify justification, you however go on to juxtapose the rise in a monger's income in comparison to a lack of wage increase for the girls. That sir is providing not just an explanation, it is pointing out unequal situations and in context, serves to convince the reader that a price increase is warranted, reasonable, only fair, or dare I say, justified. The little erroneous tidbit about locals "gladly" paying these rates so tourists must fall in line is another clear example of justifying being extorted. "They did it so I can do it". Talk about "having solace in being part of a gang". The irony writes itself..

All the stuff you cite such as less disposable income, lower wage growth rates are embedded in a cPi. Even so, some goods and services had higher ramps and some less. You can bang your head all you want, but as a price taker you will not be able to change it. And you are descending into conspiracy theories now about cabals of pimps driving up pricing. Are you truly this stupid? There is ISG, there are German forums and most mongers rant about higher prices but can't hold the line collectively but you somehow think some uneducated pimps were able to influence the entire supply, and for some reason this magically happened in the last 18 months and not before. Of course, at the intellectual level you operate, no proof is needed, venting your illiterate rant is sufficient.

If the poor retired German monger is doing only one or two 50 E sessions a month, he can afford an additional hundred. If he can't, tough luck, no one is owed a fuck in life, not in the bill of rights. If the dude is a volume spender, then inflation is not excessive and there's a catch up payment after 20 years of flatlining.

I don't have any urge to throw money away. I'm always prudent. If the prices were lower, it suits me just fine. If prices are truly beyond the affordability range of most mongers and business collapses, girls will break the cartel. In any case, it will be the market deciding how that works. In the meanwhile, I'd encourage you to get even more stoned to get over your pain.

Whoa! American system will topple. Spoken like a true CCPfuckerMole.

Personally I think any statement that claims "country X people are more intelligent than people of Country Z" is dumb but you say you are in sympathy with that statement. You proceeded to print a ton of shit about the lower standards of US schools. He did not compare our educational standards to theirs, he compared some undefined quality called intelligence and claimed Germans had superior intelligence. Whatever that means.

I know it's fashionable in some circles to think US school standards are crap. That's not my experience. There are obviously some terrible schools and poorly educated students, especially in the South and lower income neighborhoods. But there are also many fantastic schools. My older kid by tenth grade already completed 3 AP courses in calculus and 2 in Physics. The school offers computer science and coding classes all 4 years of high school and several kids in senior year are participating in national level hackathons or doing serious research in biology and so on. Even in the local public schools, the students in the IB curriculum are doing super well and that's free education.

And the US universities are by far the best in the world, bar none.

It is only the US that nurtures a blend of scientific rigor and creativity and risk tolerance leading to breakthroughs in software to other parts of technology. US companies have 70%+ of global market capitalization in tech. The rest of the world including Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan + all of Europe bring up the other 30%. Their students do very well on high school math and StEm tests but by the time they are adults and when it counts, they become rigid, bureaucratic / sclerotic and can't produce much. Hence the perpetual low growth in Europe.

LOL. Of the entire post you beeline to a few words that serve as a simple warning that we need to tighten up our weaknesses before they get out of control but somehow twist it to be blasphemous. Revisionist reinterpretation, nothing new for you.

The tone of my post was clearly pro American, specifically citing superior brain power in our "top 90 million" along with other inherit strengths of our system, basically points that you just repeating in your own post. But someone who does not see that primary education plays a large part in developing baseline intelligence does not understand psycho-social development. Again, nothing new about you that wasn't already made clear in previous posts.

When discounting the poor primary education standards prevalent in the majority of the Southern states and various low income districts, it shows that you clearly have little understanding of the national picture. These southern states and low income districts which are located in every major city along with the majority of rural areas across the Plains states and American southwest makes up a hell of a lot of kids deprived of a high standard of education. On the flip, Germany, Japan, most Western European nations have a uniform national curriculum. The poor kid from the inner city and the boy from the country must meet the same standards as the suburban rich kid. In the US, we have as much a chance of producing a retard as we have of producing an innovator.

Once again, you continue to base your views too heavily on your anecdotal experiences without considering that there may be unknown variables. The misguided belief that your viewpoint is the most correct without having first hand experience while also not considering information from people with various viewpoints is a hallmark of the middle management archetype and not of an executive.

It's clear that you are someone who believes in a social class heirarchy, a caste system one may say. People like you need not ever have power for it's people like you, those who are arrogant yet unremarkable, who allowed the rise of Trumpianism by not recognizing the grievances of a hell of alot of other people. It's the mindset of people like you who leave room for internal decay of society.

Orchestrated by pimps? You are even more idiot than I thought. Yeah, there is a strong pimps cartel and they are more united than OpEC and drove prices up. Amazingly, they found this power so suddenly after Covid, which they lacked for 20 years.

As for the rest of this CCp shit dumpling's diatribe: You can call it justification if it pleases and gets you a couple of sidekicks. You always have found some solace in being part of a gang. Typical CCP midget shitworm's insecure mindset. Any explanation of why prices went up is a justification in your mind. Must be mystifying when you see the world around you and wonder why your own comp is flat after 20 years and everything else is going up varying amounts. No wonder you got kicked out of GTech and working as a lowly Researcher somewhere.

Physician comp did almost double in 20 yrs, I know that from my own situation at home. 20 yrs ago, an internist didn't make 250 K. And No, an HR manager in 2003 didn't start at 60 K. Even in DE where salaries went up less than here, a 42 yr old is clearly making much more than he did in 2003. But the same didnot happen for a WG, they had none. At some point it was bound to catch up and did. And it is foolish to think that avg salary went up x%, hence it should cap the price for another service in the economy. But this point seems to be beyond your amoeba single cell brain.

While you claim that it is foolish to expect that a price of a service has any relation to the customer base's purchasing power, it actually seems foolish to not understand that the fair market value of a good or service is heavily influenced by the purchasing power of the customer base. That is especially true for leisure goods and services. How anyone could debate this simple fact is incomprehensible. This fact is made clear as day when you see the 100 e per half hour rate in richer cities like Frankfurt, Stuttgart, and Munich but most WGs who are in the outskirts of Cologne, Dusseldorf, and even Berlin wouldn't dare think that asking price would fly. Is it a mere coincidence that the cities with highest FKK prices are also the cities with the highest salaries?

The discussion of physician salaries seem superfluous but I will add that 20 years ago starting Emergency salaries were roughly 220 K. As of today, the only people who touch the 2 x number of 440 K in my group is the medical director and the workaholics who pick up a lot of extra shifts. Most providers in their 50's pull in somewhere in the 350's, a far cry from doubling their income from 20 years ago unless you count residency years.

While you protest an HR "manager" making 60 K, the position I actually cited was HR "worker. " So yeah, 60 K is actually a generous starting salary for the majority of these entry level employees.

"Amoeba single cell brain?" Dude, do all of your insults come from your Junior High years? Not being able to insult another dude with any wit is a clear sign of a dweeb who never had many dude friends.

And dude, you never acknowledged the part about no one outside of your background ever liking you enough to invite you into their home. The first time your wife brought you home to meet her parents, was her dad like "This dude? Fuck No. " Or was it an arranged marriage? To your defense, something tells me that I should favor the latter scenario.

In a nation of over 300 million people spread out over a larger land mass which results in a larger proportion of people living in isolated social enclaves, a significant number of people live lives that offer simplicity in exchange for innovative thinking.

Statements like "it is what it is.

Statements that declare the situation acceptable by claiming (falsely) that the locals are "gladly" paying these prices when in fact attendance is down and mongers are taking less and shorter rooms. There are statements that point out the previously stagnant price of rooms and there are statements that point to a higher inflation rate in Romania than the west. These are all statements that, from one angle or another, clearly attempt to justify succumbing to the arbitrary price hikes that are orchestrated by a bunch of Eastern European sex workers and their pimps who have clearly overextended their money grab.

It seems clear that the poster does not realize or consider that the average German FKK visitor is more likely to be a blue collar worker or a fixed income retiree than a high-earning, international monger.

Add America's geographic isolation from other leading nations, cosmopolitan thinking is further hampered. Lastly, American primary education is woefully behind western European standards producing young adults that have to catch up to their peers in other developed nations. Point is, it's my shared opinion that average intelligence, the way that I personally define it, is lower when comparing the average American versus the average German.

However, as has always been the case, America has the advantage of quantity and lax social expectations. The fact that we are a nation of 300 million people subjugated to less social restraints versus a nation of under 90 million in a heavily socially regulated environment, you take the top 90 million high performing Americans and compare it to the entire German population and it's a no brainer that there is more brain power in the American cohort. Add emotional intelligence to the equation, a characteristic deficient in so many Germans and Northern European cultures in general, and the scales tip further toward the American cohort.

The bigger point is no other nation in the world offers anywhere near the potential that is afforded by America's bountiful resources (natural, financial capital, and human capital) in combination with the laxity in cultural norms, administrative policy, and legal constraints, not Germany, not China, not the entire Middle East or southern hemisphere. At the same time, this same willy-nilly environment that relies on deregulation and quantity also creates lower lows such as the unfortunate situations of Americans living in the lowest tiers of society. While a disproportionate amount of wealth filtering through European and Eastern governments, an unhealthy disproportionate amount of wealth is held in America's private corporations than is available to elevate the people living at the bottom. If this continues to progress further into the middle echelons of the population, only then will the American system topple. That reality is not that far off.

Pointing out that a 42 year old makes more money than a 22 year old is a completely obvious yet meaningless statement that has no relevance to discussions of purchasing power as determine by population level wage increase and CPI. What makes this statement even more irrelevant is that besides its irrelevance to price inflation, the German FKK monger does not even double his income over a 20 year professional career. The average human resources worker who may start off at 60 K does not earn raises or promotions to become a 120 K earner after 20 years if at all in their careers. The average 250 K physician does not become a 500 K earner in 20 years. And the average 25 euro per hour mechanic does not become a 50 euro per hour mechanic in 20 years. Some of the better and driven workers earn promotions, but most do not. And most places of employment, in terms of financial compensation, do not value their 20 year employees as much as 2 year employee, not in the United States and certainly not in the income progression culture of Germany.

The more I am exposed to this poster's thought processes, particularly the perpetual mental gymnastics, revision of prior statements, and false claims, the more it confirms my assessment that these are the qualities of a frustrated, middle manager archetype, a project manager at best, who is unhappy with his position in life and society. The conclusions and assertions clearly come from a narrow set of life experiences, consistently lacking consideration and insight into actual viewpoints of humans who do not share his same background and worldviews. A typical poster who can sound off on researchable facts and tidbits, but can not tell you what the air smells like in Bora Bora, or what local cuisine tastes like in Indonesia. I'm willing to bet he's only been welcomed inside the home of a person outside his socio-racial background less than a handful of times his entire life. Miserable naivity.

LOL. As usual, you can't understand simple English or pretend not to. The only ones doing justification in any direction are the people complaining about girls' rates using CPI or their own take home pay, which are irrelevant.

I clearly stated (and repeated a few more times for the retards who can't seem to understand) individual goods and services have their own supply demand arcs and a broad basket CPI simply doesnot apply.

No one is putting a gun to those poor middle aged Germans to whom you suddenly developed an affinity. If it was a bunch of Asian nitwits driving up prices, I'd be slightly upset but in this case it is the locals parting with their money gladly. If they are not happy, they can stay home.

The OECD link is a good one but misleading. The point of giving my personal details was to show that most normal workers don't make just 10% or 20% more at 42 relative to what they did at 22. Wage inflation data (and any inflation data for that matter) is presented on a like for like basis, ie wage changes at comparable levels of skill and experience. Your 16% calculation is using average wage across the population but a 42 yr old German is not making just 16% more than he did 20 yrs ago. Promotions, raises, higher pay for more experience ensure that is not the case..
