    Land of the fee.

    In Sweden there is no cost for this whatsoever. Most things are free or have tiny bills. I’m not saying it to make you feel worse, just pointing out that America is bordering on not being a civilized country anymore.

    As a bonus, we don’t have any Musks here.

      Hhh. Nice.

      just pointing out that America is bordering on not being a civilized country anymore.

      Looking across Pacific Bathtub USSA seems to be shitshow in every aspect of life. Meanwhile about EU I mostly say “EU, I belive in you!”

      As a bonus, we don’t have any Musks here.

      We do, but we call them Rogozins.

      Don’t we? The “IF Metall” union would probably tell you otherwise

        I mean, who are we talking about? I admit I don’t follow news much but which Swedish guy is rich like Musk? I know we have wealthy bank families and so on of course, or Axfood etc.

              That’s great! I haven’t been keeping up with the news on that. What was the outcome?

                I haven’t followed it but it’s hilarious to read about:

                unions across Sweden banding together against the carmaker, blocking imports at ports and refusing to repair damaged Tesla chargers, among other actions.

                Postal workers have stopped delivering mail to the company, including license plates. A local court of appeal also overturned Tesla’s attempts to have license plates directly delivered from the Swedish Transport Agency.

                unions in Norway, Denmark, and Finland have now said they’re also ready to stop unloading cars from ships, according to the Financial Times.

      Respectfully, punching down does nothing but make people who are suffering feel worse. Posting here about how much better you have it than us isn’t helpful. We already know how messed up it is here.

        Yeah I know. It’s just such a contrast between how the country markets itself VS reality. We have almost exclusively American and British TV here and it really is quite a shock when you see what the country actually is.

        But if there is a world war, we will appriciate support from the US of course. One thing they are awesome at is armies and weapons.

          You say that, but we couldn’t defeat a bunch of horse-riding semi-nomads with Kalashnikovs after 20 years in Afghanistan.

            No but the US has always been bad at guerilla warfare. Same in Vietnam. Whatever nomads the US are fighting at the time are using intelligence rather than raw military power, and it’s the only way to fight a more powerful force.

        Do you know that though? Because the internet is flooded by Americans defending their shitty system.
