It's worth talking to people over 75 about that. Interestedly even those who were and still are well off remember the problems with that.

By line of principle I always entertained the idea of no welfare state, however higher cost of living leads to lower social mobility hence less competition, less new ideas, less buzz. London could never have been in Switzerland or Cayman.

Lived there for some time. If you have a job u have a medical insurance. If you don't have a job and you are not Caymanian then you are not supposed to be there.Originally posted by SueEllen View PostWould you prefer to live on the Cayman Islands were it costs £8.50 for Fish Fingers and there is no welfare state so you have to hope for a nice millionaire to pay for your local hospital?
Both extremes are bad.
If you are Caymanian you will get a job anyway. 99% of companies are obliged to hire locals first. And yes, I wrote just hire, the pool of local "talent" is limited and obbligations towards local gov. must be met.
