Today’s CPI numbers for May came in hotter than expected. Headline inflation rose to 4.2% (from 3.8% in April), while core inflation (excluding food and energy) ticked up to 2.9%. The main culprit? Surging energy prices — especially gasoline — following the recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Once again, it’s the old story: … Continue reading Hotter Than Expected – Inflation Just Woke Up Again

What we are seeing across Europe right now — the growing demonstrations against mass immigration — is largely a direct result of politicians and mainstream media’s repeated refusal to be honest. Instead of addressing problems, they have spent years defending, downplaying, or outright lying about the background of perpetrators when it doesn’t fit the narrative. … Continue reading Europe’s Growing Anger – Entirely Predictable

I’ve mentioned this before, but I still can’t wrap my head around it. The more I work and the higher my salary gets, the more tax I have to pay — both in absolute kronor and as a percentage. Meanwhile, in Sweden, if you commit a crime you always get a reduced sentence. If you’re … Continue reading Hard Work Gets You Punished – Crime Gets You Discounts

Traditional media in Australia is not nearly as homogeneously left-leaning as it is here in Sweden. That’s already a big difference. But the real question is: why are they even in this fight with Meta in the first place? If traditional media had actually done their job — reported news and features objectively, factually, and … Continue reading Why Australia’s Media Battle with Meta Actually Makes Sense

As a European, it pains me to say this, but I seriously doubt Europe will take any meaningful part in the AI boom. We love to reminisce about our glory days — Ericsson and Nokia leading the mobile revolution in the 1990s. But those days are long gone. Today, Europe’s biggest “innovation” seems to be … Continue reading Europe’s AI Problem

According to the latest Ekonomifakta/SCB statistics (Feb 2026): The top 1% pay ~10–15% of Sweden’s total taxes. The top 5% pay 26.1%. The bottom 40% pay only 13%. The Swedish Left wants to raise taxes on “the rich”. There’s just one problem: those in the top 5% are also the ones most likely to leave the country. … Continue reading It’s Always Someone Else Who Should Pay

Yesterday, the government announced that they are replacing the chairmen of AP2, AP3 and AP7. This comes after SVT’s revelations about the major losses in Northvolt. The background is well known: AP1–AP4 circumvented the law prohibiting direct investments in unlisted companies by creating the jointly owned company 4 to 1 Investments. Through this construction, they … Continue reading The Green Party’s Northvolt Legacy and the Lack of Accountability

The Green Party has held power in Stockholm since 2014, often acting as kingmakers between the political blocs. The result? Cyclists have been elevated to a privileged class in the city. They are allowed to ride against one-way traffic. Their paths are meticulously cleared and salted all winter, while pedestrians slip and slide on ice … Continue reading The Green Party Has Turned Stockholm’s Cyclists Into Little Tin Gods

It’s been just over a week since our son completed his final IB exam. Now begins the long wait: first for the results to see if he passed the IB Diploma, then for news on his university applications. June and the first half of July will basically be one long exercise in patience. Next week … Continue reading The World’s Most Perfect Teenager Has Officially Finished High School

After the current conservative government managed to convince even the Swedish socialist opposition that tax cuts can actually increase tax revenue by encouraging people to work and pay taxes, the Left has found a new strategy. When facts no longer support their narrative, they switch to emotions and class warfare. Take Nooshi Dadgostar. After previously … Continue reading The Left’s New Favorite Excuse for Tax Increases
