Membership rebates can absolutely get hosed, because the companies are recuperating the "savings" by simply selling to databrokers under the "legitimate interest" clause of the GDPR.
Legitimate interest as a notion of the GDPR is wholly-undefined, and best of all, it seems that the legitimate interest clauses were included as a result of modifications before publishing brought about by US lobbying.

I just learned my lesson the hard way to check whether German transport workers are on strike before heading to the station. Special shout-out to Københavns Hovedbanegård for not having anything about it posted anywhere in the whole station, and for putting the remark "switch to bus between Padborg and Flensburg because of track maintenance" on the board, without the important addendum that "none of you are getting anywhere beyond Flensburg".

The fast train from Köln to Frankfurt (Airport) and the slow train from Köln to Frankfurt (not Airport) depart within minutes of each other, from either side of the same platform, with no obvious indication anywhere of which is which.

Ask me how I know.

Edit: in fairness, there were no strikes involved in this particular situation, although there was a political dem in Bonn which further delayed the super fun happy time train taken by yours truly.

The main solace in this farce is that M has for a very long time been one of the more NATO-simping parties, and seeing them fall on their rear end when the ball is on the penalty spot and the goalie has left the stadium is glorious skadeglädje. I wonder how many times Bildt has fantasized about strangling Tobias Billström.

as a general note, i find that what NATO is assumed to be tends to depend an awful lot on what's convenient at the moment of discussion

so it can be, to the same person, a club of democracies as well as a military *defensive* alliance as well as the only possible basis for a geopolitical arrangement in europe, depending on what that person is trying to address

while making a positive case for membership it will be the former, but when addressing why these countries which we all agree are being bad and mean are members in good standing the latter will tend to be deployed as a kind of attempt at realism. a year ago people managed to genuinely convince themselves that NATO had nothing to do with the libyan intervention, for instance, because it was simply a "NATO-led" operation. it's a mess and the whole thing is festooned with more taboos than you can shake a stick at.

It's not an either or choice, though. Turkey doesn't genuinely care enough about blocking Sweden to make material sacrifices to achieve it. It's all theatre, so they can wring material concessions from Sweden and the rest of NATO.


They did grossly misjudge Sweden's ability to met their demands, though. Which turned into a huge embarrassment for Turkey. While the Swedish public were defiant by choice. The Swedish government defied Turkey because they were legally incapable of conceding to Turkeys demands. Which to international media merged into one united effort.

https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/vast/thomas-fick-felaktigt-elstod-till-firman

"Thomas får inte lämna tillbaka firmans elstöd: ”Svartpengar”
UPPDATERAD IDAG 18:29PUBLICERAD IDAG 17:58
Egenföretagaren Thomas Börjesson är kritisk till att elstöd för privatpersoner även gått till företagare med enskilda firma. Nu kan han själv inte betala tillbaka pengarna – trots att han vill.

– Jag försökte ringa Försäkringskassan och lämna tillbaka dem. Men det går inte, säger han.

I klippet ovan får du följa med till Thomas verkstad och han berättar varför han kallar stödet för svarta pengar.

Försäkringskassan har betalat ut elstöd till privatpersoner, men pengarna har också gått till företagare med enskild firma. En av dem är Thomas Börjesson som driver en mc-firma i Sjövik, norr om Lerum. Han har fått 7000 kronor i elstöd.

– Det är ju inte lagligt. Försäkringskassan får ju inte tillgodose folk med svartpengar. Någon jurist borde titta på om vår grundlag möjliggör att man delar ut skattebasens pengar hur som helst, säger Thomas Börjesson.

Eftersom Thomas kan dra av elförbrukningen från firmans intäkter före skatt, så går han plus när han sedan får återbetalning på hela summan från Försäkringskassan.

Oklart om redovisning
Samtidigt ger myndigheter helt olika besked om elstödet. Försäkringskassan uppger att företagarna kan behålla stödet utan att redovisa det medan Skatteverket tvärtom uppger att enskilda företag bör redovisa elstödet som en inkomst.

– Försäkringskassan har gjort fel, det får man förlåta. Men då får de gå ut och rätta till det. Nu blir det en soppa av hela skiten, säger Thomas Börjesson.

”Lägga av”
Att stödet dessutom är hemligt, att det inte går att se vilka privatpersoner som fått stödet, tycker han är absurt.

– Att du kan få hemliga grejer av Säpo, det har man hört talas om. Men hemliga pengar från Försäkringskassan – lägg av!"

that is one way of framing it. another is that sweden completely capitulated to turkey's demands until it turned out that they literally weren't able to fulfill their end of the (extremely dirty) bargain they made, and when the turks respond by not carrying through with their end of it, the swedes interpret this as authoritarian intransigence.
