There is almost nothing you can eat that doesn’t involve killing something. That’s not a moral stance — it’s biology. Even the most virtuous vegetarian or vegan diet has a body count. Billions of bees are shipped around the world every year to pollinate almond and avocado orchards. Many die in the process. The produce … Continue reading Five Bees Are More Than Four Cows

IF Metall should have read George Santayana
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” On April 7, 1971, Texas enacted the Texas Motor Vehicle Commission Code — today part of the Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 2301. The key section that prevents manufacturers from owning or controlling dealerships is Section 2301.476. Tesla has tried — and failed — to change … Continue reading IF Metall should have read George Santayana
Are they seriously going to screw us over again?
I started saving privately in IPS (Individual Pension Savings) already in 1998, four years after it was introduced. It was the centre-right government under Carl Bildt that launched IPS on 1 January 1994 as a way to encourage ordinary people to save for themselves. The idea was simple: give us a tax deduction because the … Continue reading Are they seriously going to screw us over again?

Of course everything moves in cycles. Sooner or later the market will crash, the bubble will burst, or whatever doomsday scenario you prefer. And when it finally happens, the … Continue reading Vague Predictions Are Worthless – Give Me a Deadline or Shut Up
The Left’s Only Solution to Welfare Fraud: Tax the Rich Harder and Ignore the Problem
Few things are more exhausting than the Left’s endless whining for higher taxes to “save” Swedish welfare. In 2025, Sweden recorded 22,845 reported welfare crimes – a 2 % increase from the year before, according to Brå. These are only the reported cases. The real number is dramatically higher. Welfare fraud alone is estimated to generate between 43 and 75 … Continue reading The Left’s Only Solution to Welfare Fraud: Tax the Rich Harder and Ignore the Problem
Why I’ve Started to Think Differently About “Influencers” in Public Spaces
I have always been very positive about social media. It has genuinely helped many young girls and women fulfil their dream of becoming photo models or content creators. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve walked past groups of friends taking beautiful photos in parks, on streets, or by the water. That part I … Continue reading Why I’ve Started to Think Differently About “Influencers” in Public Spaces
