The fact he didnโt respond like Pedro Sanchez makes me feel very ashamed right now. He โregretfully supports thisโ is awful.
And Ps we already are supporting it. The war is illegal. He didnโt go to congress and get approval. Carney even acknowledges that.
This would be better with alt text as itโs kind of hard to read.

Inheritance tax.
Property taxes also max out at 10,074kr no matter how expensive your home is. Thats $1100usd.
People will say Sweden is much smaller thatโs why. Ok but the population is so spread out here and yet weโve got public transport in the most rural places. And pretty much
Yeah itโs insane. Iโm always amazed by how much Americans buy into the propaganda fed to them.
At my tax rate I also get 50k kr a year ($5500) to put towards 30% of labour costs on my house for upgrades and can be spread across multiple providers.
We get so much. And we donโt even have
Ok well Iโm in Sweden and have similar costs and itโs excellent so ๐คทโโ๏ธ and my income tax rate is only 35% at my salary bracket
05.03.2026 01:00 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0And I know loads of Americans will say but you pay 60% in taxes. For my income bracket I pay 35%
05.03.2026 00:58 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0It was same in UK 15 yrs ago (probably has changed by now given all going on there) but no charge and asked me if I needed money for a taxi to get somewhere

05.03.2026 00:53 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0As someone who is from a universal healthcare country - thatโs expensive to me
05.03.2026 00:53 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Oh and that 3900kr doesnโt always stay higher because they raised it. It can drop again. It all depends on the demand on the system from previous years. So itโs not always rising in costs.

High cost protection for dental care. So we pay 100% of the first 3000kr ($327), then 50% between 3001-15000kr ($327-1636) then 15% of anything over that.
This is a Scandinavian country.
Itโs doable. Stop thinking otherwise. Iโve also lived in many other European countries and itโs similar
Ok I live in Sweden. Let me break down costs for you:
1450kr is my government co pay for doctor/hospital visits per year. Everything after that is free. Thats $158USD btw
Medicine? After 3900kr (itโs gone up from 2900kr for 2026) all my medication is 100% free. $425USD
We also have

Because if he doesnโt do as well as Crockett thatโs a massive loss for not only Texas, but America as a whole.
Also misogyny contributed to this outcome along with racism.
Agree. She was way more qualified. And I like Talarico but Jasmine was imo the person for the job because sheโs been doing it and doing an amazing job.
Nobody knows what Talarico will actually be like or how hard he will fight or if he will have an impact.
I hope he does a great job
And other world leaders care about their citizens so we let America act like an *sshole to keep the peace. Now that itโs not working Americans are going to see how much they are disliked and either remain ostracised or humble themselves and drastically change.
05.03.2026 00:06 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0All the American war propaganda movies about how they won WW2. Meanwhile they joined towards the end when it was almost over and the USSR was the biggest contributing factor to it ending. But yeah. we tolerate it because they are one of the largest nuclear powers and the majority of us want peace
05.03.2026 00:06 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Thereโs a reason why Americans are often not liked abroad. The history of how they treat others outside of their own country (and even within) has long been problematic to us outsiders. I mean they rewrite history.
05.03.2026 00:06 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Yes but also - America has been like this for a long time. People just bought into why America was doing what it was doing. America is a bully and war fanatic. Itโs got bloodlust. Ask countries who they have invaded to โhelpโ how much they actually liked the long term effects of said help.
05.03.2026 00:06 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Much poorer countries with worse everyday conditions than Americans have done it successfully.
05.03.2026 00:00 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I mean if they get them - sure. Maybe but if they donโt they are the most armed country in the world and it was apparently because they needed to protect themselves from a tyrannical government. Or I donโt know a non-violent general strike.
05.03.2026 00:00 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Yeah like all this talk online and posting pics and nobody is really doing anything to stop it.
