Specifically to Switzerland, having lived there it has a problem more extreme than the US: it's very hard to work there. It's become easier for EU residents but harder for everyone else.

Well, if you're in the EU it's not just "easier", it's completely brainless. You just move there and start working. No visas, no nothing.

Which doesn't really take away from the misguided nature of this "venture".

Is that true? When I worked in Switzerland I needed a special work visa (but I am Canadian). Switzerland isn't a part of the EU, so I don't know what restrictions are in place.
