But does anyone really buy supporting a regering supported by SD isn't cooperating with SD? Just the statsministeromröstning will make it obvious won't it?

I made more after tax in Canada than in Denmark, even after getting 33% more in salary in DK. I know full well how marginal tax rates work, thanks. DK just has a much higher top bracket rate. Plus cost-of-living in DK is higher across the board, plus MOMS.

I am not complaining, I pay my taxes in the hope some goes to help those in need. I have more than enough.

Do you need me to post my skattekort or was that clear enough? :shucks:

Didn't get that the income post tax was in different countries, that makes more sense:doh:

Also it would be a pretty huge gently caress you to a Riksdag who just voted Lövfen out to nominate him. They just voted that they didn't want him, so it makes the most sense to let some other people fail before giving him the chance.

So, Uffe is not going to be statsminister. What's next, Löfven? I guess L or C could deal with him if Uffes brinkmanship pisses them of, but I doubt it.

4 more years like the ones we just had with DÖ-2? Since no one is going to cave it's either that or nyval, both of which is going to make Alliansen pretty foolish. Holy poo poo is S going to hammer ansvar

It's pretty funny that he thinks he can do a Reinfeldt, wasn't that SDs first term in the Riksdag? Also alliansen was still the largest block.

To be honest I don't understand why they deposed Löfven if they're not going to actively collaborate with SD. And I really don't think SD is going to settle for anything less than actual influence.

When I saw how the blue/brown block reacted on the election night it felt pretty sure that they were going to try for just ignoring reality and going with: it's our turn to rule now! Luckily that didn't work. But they don't keep insisting that is Steffe who should roll over and support them when the only logical thing I can see is either one of L and C replacing MP or just pure S.

Edit: MP must realise that it was a huge mistake to join the cabinet. And 4 years ago Steffe called Alliansens bluff giving us DÖ. They have to either embrace SD and rule with them or let S rule without "accidentally voting with SD" all the time and completely block the government from doing anything. He told them to stop or it's nyval and they did...

Does Steffe need any yes votes from Alliansen or are abstentions enough? Because now I'm starting to believe that C & L are hard no on SD. Then again maybe Steffe can ruin another party buy having it as a minority member of his regering. Otherwise my guess is nyval, but last time we got DÖ instead...

Does MP not understand how bad it was for them to be in regeringen? They couldn't even stop the sale of Vattenfalls coal plants. And I don't think I can name a single thing that they accomplished in the last 4 years.

I think Steffe is just trying to show how reasonable and responsible he is being and making sure that the narrative is Lööf saying no and killing any deal. I also think that is why L is reluctant to say that they also are out.

So Janne & Annie are OK with politics that are dependent on SD but not a statsminister/regering? Can Steffe refuse to get voted on? Because he should, obviously C&L have changed their minds. And letting them vote no to him again only gives them cover to say: "Well, we have to have a statsminister"

Or rather start acting reasonable, Annie is not going to be statsminister no matter how much she wants it. She needs to realise that she became a media darling because they needed a face for Alliansen when they went after Batra-bot

Looking at what their voters want Janne should cave first, but he promised his kid(s?) not to and as a fellow dad I'm going to have to hope he keeps that promise.

The choice they have is to either join Uffe, which I don't think is very likely, or abstain like with the budget and then keep on abstaining. But that's completely abdicating posts as riksdagsmän, and should lead to an absolute slaughter in 4 years.

You don't wear suits to the office in Sweden in most professions.

Yeah, but it's not that uncommon to interview for a job in an office wearing one. And I'm just thinking maybe, if someone suggests something to help you get a job they are doing it to help. Not to gently caress you over.

I'm an IT consultant, but don't wear a suit myself. But it's still quite common at clients I interact with, especially once you get into middle management positions or more senior positions (or persons).

I'm not trying to say that you must wear one when interviewing, but if it's for a white collar job it won't hurt. My main point is just that the jobs counsellor was probably just trying to help.

Or you could just be nice and communicative and tell them you don't have one, and either that will be just fine or that you should try to work something out.

You'll never look out of place wearing a suit in a white collar environment, and suggesting a job applicant wear one isn't out of place either. Piling scorn someone trying to help you is out of place and so is calling someone a loving weirdo for pointing that out.

IT is really fuckin bad, and from reading the article I think this happened because the people making the call centre software didn't think that the calls could contain sensitive information. And then they went ahead and sold it to someone handling sensitive information.

I've pointed out extreme security breaches to clients who have shrugged their shoulders. In some cases they know and want it to be that way, because the lack of security allows them to do something easy and convenient. Luckily it's never been putting people in risk, only themselves

So uh....what the hell, Denmark?



Reminds me of a book I read based on the diaries of a german soldier on the ostfront, he encounters a SS soldier from the sonderkommando. And over cigarettes the SS-man tells him about how they had ~1500 Jews and other dig a giant trench for several days. Then told them to line up, a couple hundred at the time by the edge. When mowed down with a machine gun, they fall down into the trench. The next batch called up have to climb down and re-arrange the bodies for space before climbing up for their turn on the edge.

In closing the SS-man tells him that it's good to mix in children in each batch, to fill up tricky spaces.

There is also the cost of purchasing something as an organization to consider.

An expense report needs to be made, that has to get approved &c. And the time to do this costs money. If something needs to be payed by invoice it might be a new supplier and that needs to be registered.

Don't underestimate the cost, complexities, and inefficiencies of corporate bureaucracy!

Bard has no ability for empathy, he’s a cold blooded lizard. It’s been his thing forever, but he usually avoids being completely tonedeaf.

I will always cherish how he in a debate panel during Pride with EBT responded to her argument: “we don’t hate homosexuality, but why do they have to be so flamboyant hand have parades and stuff??”
with standing up and started screaming: gently caress YOU! gently caress YOU!

Which ironically is my response to his recent embarrassment of a tweet
