They’re currently working on adding an offshoot to Tvärbanan that goes by the airport. Dunno when it’s due though.

Katt posted:I drive 60 km to work and 60 km back home. Gas cost is not really the only or even the largest monetary cost of commuting by car if you include value depreciation of your car due to wear, extra service, possible parking fees and congestion taxes. This is assuming you needed that car for other purposes than commuting and thus can disregard any loan servicing, road taxes, service etc.

I am amazed how crap the Stockholm subway bathrooms are. Despite costing 10 SEK and being fully tiled. They still only come with 3/4ths of a door. What happened to the rest of the door? How do you turn a functional bathroom into a stall?

I’m WFH’ing out of I’m having the worst goddamn period on earth (hooray IUDs), I’m allowed 1-2 days a month. It’s great but I’m also slightly worried that I may be doing this way, way more. Is it worth stocking up on goods? Roomie doesn’t think so but seeing family and friends in the US doing so is giving me pause. Alternatively, if anyone want to create a goon quarantine in Eskilstuna, I’m your witch. Cat friendly. E: four joycons but one has the drift and NO ONE CAN HAVE THE PRO CONTROLLER, BUT ME.

I recommend falukorv (at least 5 kilos) and those sausages that come in a freaking can and plenty of Absolut. For your hands.

I don’t think hoarding stuff will be necessary, but I can see a scenario where certain import-wares might become a bit harder to get. Stuff like fresh fruits. The only thing I’ve been hoarding lately is cat food, because if things truly does become The Division, I won’t have my fluff being hungry.

Well, I'm sick. I don't think it's corona, but I do work at a school so we'll see. SplitSoul posted:I like how he managed to pick out the company actively murdering American diabetics through price-gouging and the bank involved in the largest money laundering case in human history. But he's right, Bernie isn't sufficiently racist or senile to reflect the Danish model. It's not really the Danish model though, it's common model for all the Nordic countries really, characterized by the welfare state, a strong public sector and a corporatist approach to management of the workplace. The last one is kind of interesting to me, as recently now, before I got sick, me and another teacher have been sharing responsibility for a social science class, and we're currently doing the chapter on work and labor which means I've been reading up on stuff a bit. While I think the Scandinavian model of organizing and regulating the workplace through negotiations between empowered unions and employers (who also organize in a union of sorts), with the state standing as guarantor and mediator is very good, I've begun to get the impression that the system kind of falls apart when it tries to adress breaches of arbeidsmiljøloven and other measures that happen outside of these boundaries. Breaches I'm talking about are withholding of wages (or very low wages, keep in mind that Norway like most Scandinavian countries actually does not have a state-mandated minimum wage), excessive work hours, hostile work-environments, lax safety concerns, and exploitation of foreign workers and immigrants that borders on human trafficking, when these breaches occur in workplaces where you don't have the established unions that can negotiate and represent workers, the measures the authorities can resort to to investigate those seem very limited and reliant on good faith and working relationship between the workers (represented by said union) and the employers. In the absence of this they often seem to simply resort to rubber-stamping whatever reports the employers and the verneombud submit to say that they've dealt with issues. Similarly the police are limtied both by not having the institutional capacity to truly work outside of this model either or else they simply do not have the resources to investigate them and just have to close them.

I also bought a bunch of food because why not, it's mostly cheap and good for you anyway and I don't want to go around making people sick if I end up catching it. Here in Oslo there have been cases where they have no idea where people got infected which rules.

It's essentially because just now they had the one person at work turn up sick and it's hosed over everything because they had no buffer really. Everyone is now overworked and can't really spend the time they should on the cases/people they are tasked with, which means that mistakes get made, terrible mistakes, because these are decisions that impact whether or not something is able to afford rent or food for a month and this is happening because the people working these cases don't really have the time alloted to make doubly sure they're not loving up. Essentially it sounds like they'd been saving money by having the least amount of full-time employees they could have and still have an agreeable workload that allowed them to do their job properly, however there has been no accounting for a buffer to deal with upsets like illness and the like, so just one case of long-term illness is enough to push everything over the edge, which is now having an adverse effect on workplace morale as well as a detrimental effect on the lives of the people depending on them actually being able to do their job. So my sister wants to quit and there's likely gonna be more people falling ill at that office, and that's even before you begin accounting for the corona.
