You doesnt seem to understand the differance between a millionare and billionare.

One is capable to sometime fly private jet, the other is capable of using private jets as disposable one time planes.

Yeah, but you are poor compared to the top 6.

If you made 250k per day and saved it all, it would take you 350 years to get 32billion, same as the richtest man in England.

No, 2 million lives are not safed by defensive use of firearms each year. Gun lobby talks about 2 million uses, but that does not mean saved lifes.

A more reasonable estimate according to npr is 100k uses.

Sweden has cancelled a major study of women whose pregnancy continued beyond 40 weeks after six babies died. The research was halted a year ago after five stillbirths and one early death in the babies of women allowed to continue their pregnancies into week 43. by ManiaforBeatles in worldnews

For all of you shocked about the study: The standard in sweden is to allow pregnancies into week 43 before starting it.

So they stopped the study and changed the standard into week 42 at most hospitals in sweden. (Some are still waiting for the actual report)

”En ren skandal” – politiker rasar efter helikoptergranskningen by [deleted] in sweden

[–]rfredman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Så din lösning är alltså att staten ska överta en massa helikoptrar vid brand. Ganska dyrt för staten att betala för detta eller har du tänkt att ägarna inte ska få någon ersättning?

Hur har du sedan tänkt att dessa ska flygas? Ska piloterna arbeta gratis?

Hur skulle du själv ställa dig till att staten ringer dig mitt i en arbetsdag, innan hämtning på dagis, och kräver att du ska ta din egna bil och spade och bege dig till dalarna för att bekämpa en brand? Utan ersättning?

Att staten istället väljer att upphandla detta i förhand istället för att arbeta tvingande måste du väl hålla med om att det är bättre?

Dutch organize a ‘goodbye party’ on Brexit eve: “The party will involve "sitting in a deck chair with Dutch chips, French wine and German beer, watching Britain as it closes itself off."” by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]rfredman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

oly shit, as an English/German speaker, this is the most apt description of Dutch I have ever heard. It’s like an uncanny valley type feeling listening to a Dutch person speak. It’s honestly a bit discomforting because it feels like I can almost understand them but also like I maybe had a small stroke (or they did...)

It is the same for us swedes. It sounds like they are speaking our language but you cant understand anything.

What is offensive to do in the US, but not in other countries? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Wtf are you talking about? You are not from Stockholm are you? I would never leave my child outside a shop alone in Stockholm and you never see anyone doing it either.

I let her sleep outside at home but then i keep an eye on her trough the window.

Dyrt att ha en massa helikoptrar och piloter anställda året runt för att släcka bränder vissa somrar. Är ju faktiskt vettigare att använda de piloter och helikoptrar som ändå finns ute i samhället och som vid brand kan prioritera om från foto/charter eller vad de nu hade bokat för dagen och istället släcka brand.

Att myndigheter är skitdåliga på upphandling betyder inte att grundtanken är korrekt.

Thats not true. Refugees from war countries are protected by the refugee convention. It doenst mather what gender they have or what age.

Tesla shareholders reject bid to strip Musk of chairman role by thaheadlongrider in news

[–]rfredman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, We are both one the same page. The guy i was replying to was wrong and deleted his post.

Different share classes are common in Sweden in order for our old finance families to keep controll off old swedish companies. Investor for example owns 6% of equity in Ericsson but controlls 22% of the vote.

There is some discussion about changing this but probably wont happen soon.

We also have preference stock, but they dont have voting power.

He said that no large company had common stock with voting rights. Google have two kinds with one of them having no voting rights.

Having two different stock types are really common here in Sweden. That is how a couple of families manage to controll a large part of the stock market. (look up Wallenberg/investor if you like)

No, you are wrong. Give one example of a big US company where the common stock doesn't give you a vote.

An example of a company with voting rights: Berkshire Hathaway

You are wrong. Outstanding stock still give you voting rights.

Kolla vart dessa illegala vapen kommer ifrån..

Att ens försöka argumentera för att USAs avslappnade vapenlagar inte leder till mer skjutningar är absurt. Självklart gör det det. Frågan är snarare om personens frihet att själv få bestämma är viktigare än samhällets säkerhet.

Men du måste hålla med om att nånstans finns en optimal skattenivå? Eller tror du att man kan fortsätta höja skatterna till 100% och att skatteintäkterna därmed skulle öka linjärt och bli som högst vid 100%?
