Europe is well on its way to devouring itself from within, Stegra became a business idea because we legislated it, but they are heading towards bankruptcy so not even legislating a business idea helped there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one wants to talk about Northvolt, but I recognize this because I’ve been through this before \u2013 last time it was Nuon, coal power plants, and nuclear power plants in Germany that Vattenfall today has almost completely written off as our politicians stonewalled completely. Now they are accompanied by a united media because Northvolt was environmentally friendly and therefore worth the sacrifices of pensioners \u2013 what is a hungry pensioner with last year’s false teeth compared to really trying to save the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mismanagement is monumental and it’s our money being wasted \u2013 the USA has private financing that sieves investments rigorously and China has a state-controlled competition that surprisingly works well, unfortunately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Europe, politicians sprinkle our tax money as soon as the word environmentally friendly is included in the business plan \u2013 and a not insignificant number of business plans have the hidden goal of just trying to grab said tax money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jens Nylander’s mapping of charging stations should have earned him the Nobel Peace Prize but the media has avoided Jens Nylander’s all corruption revelations like the plague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think a lot about Finland, seeing that they have high unemployment in addition to the mosquitoes now and it can’t be easy for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most important books in my white bookshelf, which I assembled myself with glass doors and top cabinet from IKEA where both doors, top cabinet, and the bookshelves themselves are a bit crooked, are V\u00e4in\u00f6 Linna’s trilogy about the tenant farmers and Unknown Soldier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have an incredible living room upstairs with huge windows for light and then one wall completely covered in a row of bookshelves like authors usually have, just that they are as straight as the Ents in the Lord of the Rings, and since I didn’t have enough books, my wife took the opportunity to put all sorts of things in them together with my old bribes I received from the Chinese from previous projects \u2013 different sculptures or plaques. The flagship is the silver coins from the 2010 Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since sometime in my 20s, I have started reading the trilogy a few times and can’t stop until all four books are plowed through, when the last page is finished, you have to have a few beers to calm down \u2013 it leaves a void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, there are Swedish classics too but Finland went through its revolution, a Winter War, and then a Continuation War to finally live in the shadow of the Soviet Union throughout the entire Cold War. It’s a bit more gripping reading than the coal sack toiling in the port of Stockholm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then they not only have too many mosquitoes but good candy as well – green candies are mandatory for my mother on Christmas Eve. It may not be what one associates with a Finnish worker, that he sits and munches on colorful pick-and-mix candy in the evenings, but that’s how it is, apparently also licorice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not everyone in Finland was a criminal when the country was poor, and not everyone is a criminal today even though the country has higher unemployment than Sweden – the whole damn discussion about it all being society’s fault and that we need to be taxed more so the bombings stop is so endlessly dishonest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The political conversation in Sweden will continue to derail until the election – that’s something we just have to accept and live with, even though I’m starting to get tired of it already in November 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Marxism mixed with identity politics and political Islam is starting to emerge in a toxic cocktail here and there in Europe, and it has rarely ended well – ask the Soviet Union, Iran, Lebanon, Venezuela, or Cuba, even though it will never go that far in Sweden, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though the USA contributes to locking up and crashing communist countries, that should not be overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m not so foolish as to not understand that all politicians promise big and deliver small, but we used to have some kind of honesty – now the election promises are “more of everything for you for free if you vote for us and tax the rich.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it should be “we shall together build up the country through hard work – we create the jobs together, and it’s the private companies that provide you with your job, or you can become a private entrepreneur.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of the Finnish toil with the stone blocks and the draining of the marshes among the mosquitoes or in the deep snow, today we have a not insignificant group of unemployed people of all ages who are not willing to work but want free money, and if they don’t get it, they become damn sour and blame all sorts of versions of being victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shipping industry is crying out for sailors, asbestos removal is in need of personnel, the annual berry picking is probably on hold, and so on – there are plenty of jobs available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People are not willing to move, and they don’t want physical jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have been working a six-day week since 2006 and have lived in over half the world – wherever there are jobs, I move there either with my family or alone, and then we figure it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now we have settled in the Caribbean after a shaky start and things are going quite well, but of course, everything will be turned upside down again next year in the eternal rat race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The whole EU is starting to become hostile to businesses and envious of “those with money,” coupled with the belief that they are entitled to their money, is gaining ground where parties run for election on raising taxes so that everyone can have the same standard of living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The problem is that “the rich” are those who own a house and are full-time working middle class\/working class. Sometimes when revealing the salaries of the “rich” who are supposed to pay more taxes, they are between 40,000 SEK-60,000 SEK, depending on the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone in Sweden can become like these “rich” – education is free, and everyone has food and a roof over their heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those who can’t be taxed are the ones who are truly rich, they plan their taxes or move elsewhere. S understood this when they were a pragmatic workers’ party until the late 80s sometime before the Bommersvik mafia took over and they completely lost their way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Politicians who constantly give themselves higher salaries and better benefits while claiming to fight for the poor in the country will never be held accountable – charlatans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is envy towards functioning families who work like crazy to give their children the best possible start in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two full-time working parents with all the chores around the house and children have an absolute hell – they deserve everything they have and then some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not a single one of our eight parliamentary parties has proposed the best for the less fortunate – make the first 250,000 SEK-300,000 SEK of your income completely tax-free. Those with lower incomes would then get proportionally much more in their wallets than those with higher incomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One side lowers taxes for everyone in %, and the other side wants to raise taxes for everyone and redistribute them instead – both are equally worthless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the way, have you heard of the housing career?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You live with your parents – you move to a friend’s couch – you rent an apartment – you buy a studio apartment – you move in with your girlfriend to a three-room apartment, and finally, you buy a house in a “child-friendly area” = you won’t be shot to death in an underpass when taking your son to the Sk\u00e4rholmen pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, the parties left of center have launched the winning concept “shortcut in the housing career for those who vote for us funded by increased taxes for those who work.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have priority and various fast tracks for everything today, but the problem is that we have woven identity politics into this and polarization in the whole EU is on the rise at rocket speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I see Zohran Mahdami’s career as mayor of New York as an excellent test of how it will go if one runs a city based on political Islam and left-oriented democratic socialism if we are to believe the promises he has made. Everything will become cheaper, everyone will get more for free, and the rich will be taxed more to finance this upswing for everyone who votes for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At least one person got upset, but Zohran absolutely mixes ISLAM and POLITICS, however, the worst accusations that he wants to introduce Sharia laws seem to have been a shady campaign strategy from his opponents and thus false accusations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How political Islam will work together with the LGBTQ+ and transgender movement that he also supports remains to be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What happens if the “rich” in New York register in neighboring states, will the tax revenue decrease then?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If nothing else, neighboring states have already picked up that ball – it didn’t even take a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you know that Poland is among the world’s fastest-growing countries for millionaires to settle in, they have an attractive flat tax, and apparently some people like how Poland operates despite all their mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the 80s, London was legendary, and until BREXIT, the UK received free money as the financial center of all of Europe, but they chose to shoot themselves in the foot and sank like a stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everything has gotten worse in the UK after BREXIT, and they only have themselves to blame, and Russia, who worked like animals to get it through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are examples of countries that have shot an economic torpedo into their own side entirely on their own initiative – most recently, the German automotive industry is starting to shake considerably because they can’t produce cars at prices people are willing to pay with the high electricity prices in the country, which is a direct consequence of all the decommissioned electricity production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was not what I wanted to discuss at all, it was about China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I see no willingness from Europe to try to deal with China, our leaders have sent national representatives to Beijing who have promised Xi Jinping eternal serfdom. It hasn’t happened with trumpet fanfares directly because it goes against the EU’s tough line, so they sneak in the visits a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n
China has managed to break the back of the European electric car industry, and the EU’s solution to everything was high tariffs, so we as consumers end up paying dearly for the privilege of driving a car now made in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We buy Chinese because we don’t produce any of our own, but the EU imposes sky-high taxes, making them expensive for us to purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EU has tariffs and taxes on everything, so a European is somewhat of a low-income earner globally in developed countries, but we had an enviable welfare system as compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past fifteen years, we have put so much pressure on this welfare system that it will probably be dismantled gradually, which has probably already begun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At least pensions have gradually deteriorated so that we can all have it better, however that works out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m looking at universities that have medical programs all over Europe for our daughter, and a significant number of them now have annual fees ranging from 9,000 EUR to 30,000 EUR. I’m pretty sure that a whole bunch of the million readers who usually read my daily posts still believe that Europe had free higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The USA had its “American dream” until sometime before the turn of the millennium, even if it was running on fumes in the last fifteen years?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes I watch old movies from the 80s, and the USA had all the services we are used to today with enormous shopping malls and all fast food chains already back then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What was there in Stockholm in the 80s – not much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the USA, you could afford a big house, car(s), and all the gadgets you could possibly want on an average salary. Old refrigerators from the 60s are technical masterpieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I grew up in a detached house in Bromma, and we had a tiny black and white TV for quite a while, which later became a small color TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, a Volvo 240, but we first had an Amazon, and after that a 245 before switching to a better used Toyota Corolla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We used to go to V\u00e4llingby, which was an outdoor center, or into Drottninggatan. The mall was kind of one of the wonders of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I was studying in Ames, Iowa in the early 2000s, the infrastructure was quite exciting – the university was extremely well-equipped, and there were massive ice rinks and outdoor arenas – and there were 70,000 people living in the city plus students. As a Swede, I felt that the infrastructure was massively oversized and everything was bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately for Americans, even all the food packaging was bigger, with 2kg jars of peanut butter that were photographed as if they were exotic, and at Burger King, you got a one-liter soda cup with free refills as standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now in 2025, people are hesitant to even have a layover in the USA, and a 75-inch flat-screen TV is laughed at if you don’t have one at home, so maybe we’ve caught up a bit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But China…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can buy a decent electric car for under 100,000 SEK there now, and the standard of living is rapidly rising for broad segments of the population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The country is reclaiming desert areas that are being reforested, an area the size of Sweden has already been replanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They have the high-speed rail we would like to have in Europe, they are building iconic bridges, they are building electricity production, and now they are going to keep electricity prices down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many cities are starting to look really exciting, and they like to build tall and stylish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their research facilities are becoming ridiculously large, following the American model, with restaurants, gyms, and everything that makes it attractive to hang out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gone is the chain-smoking Chinese man in a tight shirt who looked old already in his 40s, whom I worked with in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, it’s about social skills, confidence, and they win with technical solutions – they won the project here in competition with the French, Americans, and a South American company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
China dominates in Asia, Africa, and South America, while Europe and the USA are withdrawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a not insignificant risk that China is still on the upswing here and can continue to expand internationally even in a tougher climate with the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I believe the USA will do what is right for the USA, and if you have read my previous posts, you know that the USD is now rising, and then they will switch to gold and crypto with a strong currency, devalue, and pay off the national debt when crypto and gold skyrocket. The losers will be all with USD national debt in a few years, but I’m happy because now my salary is increasing again after a significant crash for almost a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Europe is becoming a production desert that needs to buy critical raw materials, products, and services from the USA or China, and now we are going to sabotage even more for ourselves by reducing emissions by 90% in 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This will take over, and the huge, consuming swarm of EU bureaucrats will then spend all their waking hours chasing companies in Europe instead of creating the next wave of industrial production here, which I hoped would come now if we started getting tough on China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now in 2025, I have started to take an interest in the stock market – I mean, I study it but don’t have a penny to spare as usual, and the recurring theme is that those who show big profits in their tweets have shares in US companies. Mostly AI or nuclear power companies have done well for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then the closest you come to communism is where the workers actually own their companies in the USA, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All tech companies have stock option programs that make employees rich, while we in Europe work for just a salary with a few exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An employee who has been loading the milk cooler at COSCO for twenty years has a pension of 3-4 million dollars to look forward to – can you name someone working at the checkout at ICA who got the same deal and can retire with 40 million SEK?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve noticed in discussions that it’s mostly the old guard who appreciate my texts, and those who have taken the step to a paid subscription also seem to have a bit more life experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Somewhere, what I write resonates with the perception one has of the state of affairs, perhaps?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everything goes in cycles, and we are not wrong at all, but we also have to deal with the fact that new generations are pushing from below without any life experience, so they can easily be manipulated – and they will eventually land in positions of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since authorities have been somewhat bad in the last 15 years, especially if they were men whose parents were born and raised in Sweden, old truths have been blurred, and everyone can now be influenced in the direction that pulls hardest on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I was growing up, I was fed all the rhymes and sayings by my parents and their acquaintances, which later turned out to be true, as one discovered when one became old enough to think for oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I often sit with customer knowledge at banks and others due to my situation, where some younger talent starts asking about everything. I then have to push back, and you can tell when he has gone and asked his boss, who explains that he has crossed the line, and then everything is approved. But they are unpleasant to the point.<\/p>\n\n\n
Everything is arbitrary and subjective, and everyone can do pretty much as they please – it’s not often that a country’s prosperity is built on something like that when everyone can tell you what you can and cannot do even if it goes against the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the Swedish Transport Agency and revoked driver’s licenses for example – now they backed down on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I write “the country with the world’s highest taxes” there’s always the counter-comment “you’re lying” and yes, we might be number 20 or something but shouldn’t we still have the world’s 20th best welfare?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or top 20 in cancer care, electricity supply, and so on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because we can afford to spend the resources on other fun things – those that are a bit higher up in the hierarchy of needs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
China is absolutely steamrolling ahead with higher living standards and social services for increasingly larger groups in the country – they are still on the upward curve to provide everything that we already think we have so we can spend the money on something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I worked at TK in Stockholm, they had a huge portfolio of bridges to maintain but the maintenance budget was anorexic – on the other hand, bike lanes and parks received huge additions and the engineers who screamed about bridges from the 60s starting to collapse were ignored, we were the undesirables who were tolerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sergel Square in Stockholm is built on top of a dozen underground structures and when they built the tramway that runs there, they checked all the pillars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It turned out that you could drive a rebar straight through pillars that had corroded from road saltwater infiltrating over time but they only cared about reinforcing the top floors despite the consultants’ wild protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This problem is now so unattractive that it is being pushed forward and every five years a consultant is paid for an investigation. Then they realize that they are in deep trouble and park the problem again for five years to then let it be investigated by a consultant again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many bridge structures handled in this way in Stockholm, like in the city center, are many floors of underground structures in very poor condition – so our portfolio included all the deck structures in the city center as well, those built when the term “national pit” was coined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no plan on how to address this now that housing has been built everywhere – can’t access them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They ignore the core mission that citizens expect to be taken care of and spend the money on other fun things instead. We were 40 out of 400 working on the core mission, the rest made up tasks for us that were completely meaningless and internal meetings were rampant – because a unit manager can’t have their rightful status if they don’t have a plethora of meetings with their unit about everything except the core mission for which there were no resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recently, China introduced visa-free entry into the country and 1, 2, 3… they will start attracting people who want to start living in China instead of the USA and Europe along with qualified workforce who get higher pay and more status in China than in the USA and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are cities where you have access to more luxury than in Dubai today and can live like a prince cheaper than in the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australians have started to tour in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, some researchers in Europe have already left for the USA and now a bit to China as they get to research, get paid well, and gain status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One becomes a bit resigned because instead of the EU developing into the world’s focal point, we are in the process of regulating and prohibiting ourselves to total destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had imagined that we would follow the USA and push China around to then bring back manufacturing to us and start spreading in Africa with FAIR trade agreements – the road to happiness and eternal prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now there will be a stranglehold on all manufacturing and electricity production for another fifteen years instead – maybe it’s time to accept the fait accompli and move to China, I have always liked the family’s fine dining at the local Chinese buffet so I am absolutely not hostile towards China, the only criticism I’ve had is that the buffet stopped serving fish in its sushi a year ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
