Why is Swiss Franc worth more than US Dollars?

Despite it being a stronger currency, is it exchangeable in the United States for dollars? Would that mean I’ll be getting more in dollars due to that having high value? Also, why is the Swiss Franc more colorful in its appearance while US Dollars look rather bland in comparison? To break down each denomination’s value: CHF ~ in USD Fr. 1000 $1278 Fr. 200 $255 Fr. 100 $127 Fr. 50 $63 Fr. 20 $25 Fr. 10 $12 Meanwhile, the value of US Dollar is lower in comparison to the Franc: USD ~ in CHF $100 Fr. 78.30 $50 Fr. 39.15 $20 Fr. 15.66 $10 Fr. 7.83 $5 Fr. 3.92 $2 Fr. 1.57 $1 Fr. 0.78 The lowest bill denomination is Fr. 10 (or $12) so anything below that is issued in coins. But, the real indicator is the Big Mac Index: for instance, the burger in Swiss McDonalds is Fr. 7.30 ($8) with VAT included while the same thing is $5.79 (before tax) in the USA meaning you have to pay more. However the mininum wage in Geneva (with a population bit less than Scotsdale or Boise) alone is Fr. 24.59 ($31.40) per hour, while the minimum wage in let’s say Seattle is $20.76 per hour so technically, the Swiss have more money. Just because of their currency’s value, it makes US Dollar look cheap.

Can the perpetrator be sued civilly for their crime if they're gone?

The scenario is: individual is driving under the influence but here’s the catch, the driver passed as soon as he colided with the female pedestrian (both died instantly upon collision) as the impact killed the driver and pedestrian. I mean, people saw what happened but justice is useless since the guy behind the wheel passed away along with his crime. A criminal trial can’t happen, but won’t negate possibilities of a being pursued as a civil matter in regards to his last will & testament (estate). The victim’s family could sue based on that, if they learned that his estate has a beneficiary: they could argue against their next of kin being rewarded money, rather demanding the system to seize his estate & assets. They would say that his family should not receive the inheritance (looking at it as if they’re being rewarded money for his actions), instead depriving them of any inheritance money, using that to pay for the victim’s burial or passing the funeral costs to the perpetrator’s family demanding them to pay for what their son has done (punishing them financially).

I think this is the closest thing as it’s more on making users having to submit ID on using “certain apps” after an iOS update, basically that.

Do you consider this dystopian AF?

The UK government is like: “submit ID first before you use iPhone”, like WTF? As apparently, they are considering on making that the default way to unlock a cellphone whilst spying on you (like they already are) keeping tabs on what apps you’re currently using, have downloaded or purchases made online.

Their Online Safety Act is stupid ever since it was enforced last year as that has done nothing except for making people bypass it entirely (like there’s cases of game characters used to circumvent age verification & facial scans) so I’ll assume the same will happen with this (fake ID’s) just to unlock iPhones.

Why has the Argentinian economy gone to shit?

Argentina is going through difficult times (especially with the Peso being bad as it’s very volatile) since most Argentinians would prefer USD over the Peso either through savings or investment. That’s because the dollar is the best bet not only for savings, but for making a living (if they can manage to get remote work). The thing is, how did Argentina end up in this situation in the first place?

Is Switzerland expensive for American travelers?

I mean, even though USD is a popular currency: does the PPP hold up in Switzerland? The thing is that, despite having $10,000 (CHF 7905) in their budget, that still won’t cut it since there is a bottle of liquor that costs CHF 100,000 ($126,755) for example. Don’t even mention restaurant prices, it’s ridiculous that buying from the supermarket is cheaper. Have you been there? If so, is it even a wonderful country to visit despite how expensive it is for tourists? (Explains why barely anyone goes there).
