    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.

      Not late at all. I find everyone’s response very interesting. I am curious, the nordic counties seems to be often held up and the proof of socialists democracy. Do you feel the fundamental system is still working? Is this just a moment of difficulty or is it larger?
