Eh, take a look at SCBs statistics and you will see that 2016 was just the tip and immigration was still high during the following years with a rate that is twice that of the early 2000. The current level is roughly where it was during the Yugoslavian war in the 90s.
You claimed we have unprecedented immigration. We don't. That was in 2016 as a result of the record number of asylum seekers in 2015.
What we actually have at an unprecedented scale, right now and getting worse, are vast numbers of globally displaced persons and refugees. Our current immigration levels are on par with those in the early 2000's despite the catastrophic state of the world — I'd say that reflects a fairly conservative (and quite frankly cold-hearted) immigration policy.

Deadly violence of certain kinds have decreased due to better medication and better social norms. But shootings are up and affecting others, just as seen last week. And it is clearly related to immigration given who shoots. (But fed by the drug liberalisation of the middle class due to marijuana and other drugs)
Deadly violence has indeed steadily decreased while shootings, including fatal shootings, have increased. Not sure what you think is being hidden in the statistics.
Sweden tops the list of fatal shootings in Europe. But it's mostly isolated to intra- and intergang violence — young men in gangs are shooting other young men in gangs. It's hosed up and it's horrible. But as far as I know no-one's adequately mapped the factors that make the gang violence in Sweden more deadly than in the rest of Europe.

If you don't know what it is, you have some very basic catching up to do.
Not a fan of your schoolyard tactics. Show me the BRÅ study that says "addition of a young foreign born male population means crime goes up", because I honestly can't find it. Or acknowledge that this generalising assumption of yours is just that.

quote:

It is all a question about time scale as SCBs graphs show. Compared to 2015-2016, yes, it is lower, compared to 90-00, it is ~2x.
1 million immigrants in 20 years is still a number.
Yes, 1 million is still a number. So is 2 million, 42 000, 12 and -40. You stated something that, according to your own choice of source, is incorrect. But instead of admitting that you misread or misunderstood the graph, deliberately or otherwise, you keep moving the goalposts.

quote:

Which is a pulling factor to move where I live. There are a whole lot of parents moving out of Malmö once they hit 30 and gets kids.
Is this rate, relatively speaking, higher than in Gothenburg or Stockholm? I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm asking because you seem to enjoy brandishing Malmö as your pontificating-cudgel, but as far as I know our three major cities all show the same trend regarding out-migration of young families.

quote:

The underperformance is interesting given that schools in segregated areas gets twice the money of the richer districts, while still continuing to being worse.
Are you genuinely surprised that segregated schools, and I assume that you're referring to schools with students from predominantly low-income and/or low-education homes, "underperform" despite more money being thrown at them?

They're talking about SD's goal to dismantle/reshape Sweden's national public radio and TV: SR and SVT. They're collectively referred to as public service.

Also, consistently posting bad takes, misconstruing facts and being generally obtuse feels more like trolling than level-headedness, but that's just my opinion.

I just read it and the main goal is a move towards a unified tax base, with a secondary goal of increasing the tax revenue by some tens of millions (a pittance). The effects analysis correctly points out that this change will force some repair shops out of business while indirectly having a negative environmental impact.

The use of third parties sounds a lot like how Arbetsförmedlingen runs things nowadays.

My friend's been unemployed for a while. While she's highly educated and has a lot of experience in her field, it's one with meagre offerings at the moment. Meanwhile, her self-worth is gradually being eroded by the amount of obligatory "how to write a CV" and "the importance of personal hygiene" (not a joke) courses she's wasting waste her time and energy on.

I imagine that some people truly need help writing a CV. She doesn't. None of her many job coaches have even read her CV or her personal letters. Wouldn't make a difference, because the job coaches she's had have ranged from wildly unqualified to actively harmful to her efforts to find a decent job.

These third parties are not cheap. It's also a self-regulated system; Arbetsförmedlingen do not follow up on the efficacy of a third party, unless they get a flag that too many participants have required to switch to a different one (and most people don't know that they have the right to do so).

I don't know what Arbetsförmedlingen's function should be. It probably shouldn't be to waste tax money or grind down humans.

Edit: apologies to any job coaches in this thread. If one's around, I'd love to read your input on this.

Oh gently caress, yeah, I think you're right. Letting Erdogan dictate our constitutional laws, jfc

Edit: Found all of this very confusing, but so there's a bunch of changes to the constitutional laws that have now been enacted. The previous parliament voted in favor of these changes during spring and summer last year, and the new parliament did the same in November. http://193.11.1.138/sv/aktuellt/?cmskategori=ku,-,cu

And I had no idea about this, but if a measly tenth of the parliament insists on it, and then a third votes in favor of it, a folkomröstning can become a requirement of a grundlagsändring and the outcome of it will be binding.

Unsurprisingly, this democratic tool has never been utilized.

I find the automatic bread slicers in Norwegian stores fascinating. I see people put their loaf of bread in a bag, and then they take it out to insert it into the Machine, which then puts the sliced bread in another bag. The first bag is discarded.

Why would you pre-slice an entire loaf, making it become stale quicker, unless you had to?

Olovlig is indeed not the same as illegal. But such instances can be taken to Arbetsdomstolen where the union or person(s) responsible for the olovlig strike may be found liable for damages.

Between inflation, overpriced food, extra rent hikes and decreased or even frozen wage increases, we all gotta chip in.
To build that guillotine.

I just wanna shoot myself. I'm looking for a rental apartment in Malmö. I've lived in a three-person collective on Möllan for about 12 years, where we've shared a 100 m² four-room apartment. The rent's unusually low because we've steadfastly refused any attempts from Heimstaden to "renovate" the place, and because we're annoying as gently caress about what should constitute "normalslitage".

The rent usually lands at around 9 500 SEK. I'm now looking at 1-room apartments at the same level of rent, or in some cases even higher. And so many of the old small property owners have disappeared — giants like Heimstaden have bought all their stock.

I guess I should be happy that we have any rental apartments left at all.
