U.S.A.WhyNotSweden said:I'm at my third holiday week of 5 payed (little more $$$ than when working). We get that every ear, If i manage to leave my sofa and slip, break a leg, I go to my doctor and get that taken care of, for free. So I think I'm staying in Sweden :-)
Oh, yes, we keep that damn rapper in custody, he wont get a chance to skip his sentence. He can't pay his way out of here as in the US :-)
If the data in the article below is accurate, and he makes a good case, if Sweden was a US state, it would be comparable with Kentucky in regards to disposable income:

You may get a lot of vacation days, but can you afford to travel the world while you’re off or just to stay at home on your couch? I don’t mind working a lot of days if it means I can enjoy the fruits of my labor when I’m on vacation.Post edited by PJPOWER on0 -

I don't actually doubt the data, but I don't trust the Mises Institute to EVER give a complete data set, because that would undermine the entire undertaking.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -

People who think they work hard and earn everything...oh man, these people...Oh, okay, 3rd category: selfish jerks. Although they could arguable fall under the moron category too, since they fail to understand that a healthy society overall, where some aren't suffering due to an inequitable healthcare system (human rights violation) is good for them. I don't, however, include those who simply want to know the details of a smooth transition. That would suggest to me that they support universal healthcare, but just want a transition to it to be as painless as possible.Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Anywhere other than planet earthcincybearcat said:Joking aside, there are many amazing places to live and I would enjoy living in Sweden most likely. That alcohol law though is legit a downer for me. It would be a real reason I would likely prefer many other places.
SC - I’m assuming that includes any beer that is over 3.5% too?"Joking aside"? Here? You have to be joking.(Sorry- it's just my head in woozy summer heart!)"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0
