  • Our standards are higher in most areas than EU ones[…]

    Which was also true as EU members. Nothing stopped a member from having higher standards.

    ISO standards are based on improving efficiency, not politics and lobbying[…]

    Oh my sweet summer child.

    London is still the hub for the whole continent[…]

    Very true, however brexit hasn’t fully happened yet. There are still a lot of deadlines waiting to happen. I doubt that the EU will be happy with its financial center on the outside of the bloc.





















  • In part, probably, but it’s also a bit weird since in Sweden you have every opportunity to succeed. Primary school is free, University is free, even if you fail in school you can go to municipal adult education, also free. There is a welfare state that takes care of you and will even pay your rent and food expenses if necessary. Healthcare is almost free. Job market is rough atm, but not exceptionally so.

    To me it looks like younger generations look too much at other countries, which does have it worse, and somehow apply that to life in Sweden and believe things are really bad when in reality they aren’t. Things can always be better, but I don’t get the gloomy attitude tbh.
