Now S has been involved in voting through a national variant of the Landskrona model for social benefits that I criticized here. "In the decision from yesterday, it is also included that all social welfare recipients must be subject to requirements for compensation in the form of internships or "skill-enhancing efforts". It should strengthen their "position on the labor market", according to the Riksdag. (Aftonbladet Leader) At the same time, it shows…

The riots in Husby
The riots in Husby cannot be defended. But people are fragile. When society abandons people, neighborhoods, and groups of people, some will lose judgment. Was the police shooting death of a mentally ill man armed only with a knife the trigger? I think it is extremely rare that people go on a merry-go-round because of…
Police ammunition
The police have ammunition that explodes when it penetrates the target and if this is a living creature, the ammunition creates extra internal damage. The ammunition is considered so cruel that it is forbidden in war. But the Swedish police have it in case they need to shoot at a Swedish citizen. Source: Aftonbladet
A job line for MSc trained dishwashers
The government's policy of reduced compensation and stricter rules for people to take any job is a policy to insure the employers who are looking for e.g. dishwashers that they can get hold of job seekers who are as highly educated as civil engineers and historians of ideas.
Solution to more mentally ill people: make the rules more restrictive
The OECD found earlier this year that Sweden has a very large number of people who request mental health care, especially among young people who neither study nor work. The OECD suggests that one reason can be found in the greatly reduced school health care.

But the public sector is also needed for companies to function. The same money could have created at least 160 jobs in the public sector. Then no wage subsidies would have distorted the competition so...
Nationalist gay murder in Russia
Let people have consensual sex the way they want! No one should be subjected to crime or oppression because of their sexuality. So damn obvious it should be! http://www.expressen.se/kultur/rysslands-patriotiska-homohat/
Lack of future and societal community creates stone-throwing youth gangs
In GP 130512, it was about 11-14-year-olds who are being investigated by the police for having vandalized trams and even threatening and lightly abusing people who told them to stop. The article fails to really state why the young people did this. But I think young people feel a general hopelessness that the future offers them neither…
How to create full employment?
How do you think we can achieve full employment? I think the way has to be via an increased element of public sector expansion or Keynesianism. The alliance has tried the tax reduction route to create jobs and then every new job created has cost an average of 1-1,5 million in lost tax revenue. The expansion of the public sector…
