Most of Sweden's tax dodging problems can be summed up with two letters:

1. E
2. U

So not that simple a task. A lot more could be done than what is done today but it's not like the US where you could literally pool billions into the IRS and still go revenue positive because the system is just that broken.

Sweden's bigger problems is that there are two tax systems right now.

A: The tax system for the rich and consultant class
B: The tax system for everyone else

Aren't the letters
1. Luxembourg
2. Ireland
3. Malta
4. USA?

Isn't that where the actual business tax on services in the nordics actually go to? It's not like Google and FB is paying tax in Sweden

If it calms the leftmostests of us, it is a very real possibility that the Americans fold in of themselves over a couple presidential elections and leave NATO - as dumb as that sounds. Their isolationist streak has always been strong and that's an urge that grows popular exponentially in societies that starts succumbing to their own hatreds of themselves.

The trouble with strenghtening the EU project in any military direction at all, let alone to be independent from the influence of the 5 (you know who they are. The anglo-saxons.), is that the north and east likes Washington a whole hell of a lot more than they like Paris-Berlin.
(Sidenote, but important; European power/politics revolve around the FrancoGerman alliance. All the rest of us are arguably fringe members still, and however the norm might change in coming decades, we're a very long ways away from an balanced, integrated supranational Europe now.)
But a NATO where the US has decisively stopped functioning as designed, or one better, abandoned the strongest geopolitical tool in world history, is much more well positioned to become that military dimension of a unified Europe that have been hypothesised. The need for it will still be there, american vacuum or not, the infrastructure hasn't gone anywhere, and it is easier to believe that Norway-Czechia-Italy et al finds a solution to that vacuum instead of dissolving the hard fought solution to their territorial integrity. Aka NATO.

And that's a big reason to join NATO irregardless of the american future or any other.

You could say that almost iterally any treaty any country has with another country (perhaps barring forced peace treaties, surrendering in war or some such). A treaty generally doesn't force anyone to do anything. There are consequences for not living up to the treaty; political, economical and so on (and in this case, losing the protection for a variety of reasons). Jfc,. what even is this?

So why are you arguing for the insurmountable weight of treaties then? You understand they aren't insurmountable so why do you hate joining the NATO one this much? The value of joining isn't for the bloody paper and its promises

I also don't expect to be fed if I visit someone for a short while, they might offer. Now we're going to stay several hours...

Then coffee and snacks would be expected, a whole day, I'd expect a meal.

And the ami's all jumping to conclude it being a universal thing including for adults who were specifically invited to come over by the ladies and lords of the house, and not as was stated from the beginning;
a thing specifically for kids in decades past were if you (a small child) would be invited to play with your friend at their house, the friends strange parents wouldn't extend your little friends invite to include their 17:00 dinner and you'd be sent home or oddly, be assigned a holding area. And that this also felt very very strange to most of us kids and our non-strange parents, since we fed our friends dinner or snacks before dinner time including kid-economy high status items like ice cream etc.
And how all? of us have vowed to not perpetuate this evil we experienced as children towards the younger generations

Scandinavians invite people over for dinner all the time. We're maybe more formal about the process than southerners still, but we god drat do it.

It wasn't really weird as a kid, we understood it. My parents were home cooking my own dinner and I'd just have to run back home to eat dinner, I didn't want to eat two dinners, my parents didn't wanna cook food for a kid that had already eaten and I didn't wanna eat my friends parents weird looking food anway. Why would I eat here when I gotta go soon anyway to eat dinner at home? If it was a sleepover or something, it's different.

This is another thing most of the world probably don't get, that kids could (stil can) and would, where this is a thing, basically run to other peoples houses on their own all the drat time and there's not been any formal invitations and the kids live close enough that they will hear their parents bellowing that it's dinner time. We also had dinner times to be back home for.

There was one part that was always weird to me though. The offer to wait in the friends room. No matter the other circumstances being left alone in their home always felt weird
