regional governments that is

But i will still claim we both are very far from the Chinese when it comes to corruption in both finance and politics

Same with schools here, spending money on pointless things because otherwise they get less the year after

Ah.... Year budget fixing

School directors now being paid equally across the board regardless of the size of school

Well that's very commie of them

and i keep going for hours just on the top of my head

No private schools?

And if i actually look stuff up, i can find a whole bunch more

Not that i can think off

but i could be wrong, im not sure about that

but yeah were not china, yet

i believe you. But i am sure that if you look in to the chinese situation it is by far worse.

let's hope the EU elections stop turning red all the time. We need to return to the basis of simply having economic and toll contracts, not a damn federal state

What i mean with were heading there is people getting arrested over saying offensive things, this luckily hasnt really happened here yet except for cases where there is a call to violence, but it has in other countries in the EU.
Germany, UK,

And in terms of my country its the nanny state mentality

"Its prohibited to smoke in your own car with minors present"

Now i think its pretty awfull parenting to do that

But even the police chief wondered how the fuck they gonna check that

Sweden is one of the "hate speech laws" countries. I cry every time.

HAHA yeah same here, nanny state is what the people loves

And theyre thinking about prohibiting you to smoke in your own house when there are minors.
What are they gonna do? bash down your door if they think your smoking?

Also now proposed a high tax on red meat

Its almost as if they want to create another aristocracy

Yes, discussion of Meat tax is on the table here too

talk about creating noticable "class" diferences if meat literally becomes an issue of money

It already is here

Man i seriously hate the current discourse

if you are lowskill worker with a small family, you can forget about these things

I was raised by a single mom in the 9s

90s

I was just lucky to have a rebellious mother that refused to hold my hand to anything

if i wanted to go places i needed to get there on my own

I had a 'stay at home' mother. Now she stands wihout any reasonable pension....

Yea mine decided on age 49 to finally become a nurse

after i told her for years to go and do it already

its not as if at the time my siblings and i couldnt take care of ourselves when it came to food

the problem i see with this corruption thing is the same thing as what, a now dead, criminal professor here once told

People are more upset about the guy that knocks over a women and steals her purse

My mother quit working, as a nurse, after having me. Later returned to working about age 16-17 as a frame carpenter (you know the frames around paintings). Now she's 56 years old and working her small business, not making much but still something.

But it sure sounds like you had it harder than i did, growing up

then about that guy that steals a million of customers
