There are still some who are diamond handing, unclear how many. There's a subreddit called gme_meltdown you can check out if you want a rundown on what's happening.

Expensive too.

Would be really cool to have good, affordable batteries to store self produced solar.

Surely the military budget isn't 2.4 trillion dollars? Or am I misunderstanding?

Thanks for a great question, really made me think.

So, I am a firm believer in social democracy. The problem as I see it is that there's been a mix of social democracy and libertarianism. We have in many cases sold public companies and spaces to private actors, but we still maintain our high tax rates. We have used the "new public management" for quite a while now, maybe since the 90s, which seems to limit our ability to plan ahead and only look to the next quarter.

I also believe we have dropped the ball on integration. We have received many refugees and migrants, but without a plan. This has led to increased segregation and less trust towards government and agencies.

I do think it's fixable, in most ways Sweden is great and I'm proud to be a part of it. But we have a lot of challenges both national and international. The EU for example looks weaker when we need to be stronger and working together. We also obviously need to get a handle on this recent wave of shootings and murder. After that integration really needs to be the focus.

I guess I might be a bit late, but I'll write a few lines anyway.

I'm in Sweden. There is a lot of shootings, bombings and arsons in Stockholm and the areas around it. We've honestly never seen anything like it, at this point I'm just surprised it hasn't really been happening in the other major cities.

The city where I live has a fucked budget, the municipality is cutting the budget of schools, health care and in other sectors.

For me personally it's okay. I live in a calm area, I can work from home when I want to. Economically I'm not super solid, but I can put away a little bit of cash every month.

It's popular in Sweden too

Love it

Yep, sync with some tinkering in the settings brings me great comfort.

Not kidnapping civilians though.

I think more that if it's 100c outside the planet is basically dead.

If you thought the games went in the wrong direction after 2 I wouldn't think this game would be a good fit from what I've read. The story has become very complicated during the 16 years since the first one. Might be worth watching a recap on Valhalla to understand who Basim is. It's probably fine to jump in without it though.
