    I suppose it’s the same everywhere… but each time Sweden gets amnesia and votes in the right wing we get raped:

    M: “Hey let’s give away XXX to the private sector and let them rape the country. It will generate prosperity for everyone!”

    Swedish voter: “What a great idea, why haven’t we done this sooner?!”

        I‘m really surprised. I always thought that wealth in the Nordish countries are quite equally distributed. Don’t you have a very flat income difference? How it comes?

          Income is not wealth. You can’t become wealthy on any income. That’s the thing.

    Wow, one of the few times I get to be proud of lil ol’ Belgium.

    I often joke with family that we live in the best country in the world by default. Not because it’s a paradise by any stretch of the imagination but because the rest of the world went to shit faster than we did.

    So far…
