Just saw an article this morning about how the Swiss federal retirement fund (AHV) is now managed by a US bank, which could freeze assets if it wanted to. The facepalm is nuclear.

The reason: It's cheaper.

But "politics don't interest me", "I don't vote, nothing really changes, anyway", "I don't pay attention, too much effort".

... I'm burning out. I need a hole to crawl into for a while.
