‘Feminist’ Snow-Plowing System Brings Stockholm to a Standstill
http://heatst.com ^ | November 17, 2016 | Heat Street Staff

Posted on 12/12/2016 2:21:18 PM PST by Beowulf9

A “feminist” strategy for clearing the roads of snow in Stockholm ended in failure as the city ground to a halt in recent days.

A new system, suggested by progressive politicians in the Swedish city, tore up tried and tested snow plow routes and diverted them to areas said to be used more by women.

But the inevitable consequence was that other spaces – like main roads – were clogged up for longer, and it became impossible to get around.

Isaiah 3:12 KJV

As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

Seventy per cent of the employed workers is organised in trade unions. Union density in 2012 was 67% among blue-collar-workers (most of them in the Swedish Trade Union Confederation, LO) and 73% among white-collar workers (most of them in the Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees, TCO, and the Swedish Confederation of Professional Associations, SACO). Trade unions have the right to elect two representatives to the board in all Swedish companies with more than 25 employees. Sweden has a relatively high amount of sick leave per worker in OECD: the average worker loses 24 days due to sickness. In December 2008, the number employed in the 16–64 age group was 75.0%. The employment tendency was very strong in 2007. The positive trend continued during the first half of 2008, but the rate of increase slackened.

According to Statistics Sweden, the unemployment rate in June 2012 was at 8.8%.

Unemployment among youth (aged 24 or younger) in 2012 was 24.2%, making Sweden the OECD country with the highest ratio of youth unemployment versus unemployment in general.

Unfortunately, 600 years (or so) after Christ, Mad Mo gave twisted versions of things, including Ishmael as sole heir. I'd say they're rather insane about a lot of stuff.

That being said, that verse from Isaiah shows a nation in severed decline; one could fairly argue it's happening in several countries.

In this case destroy thy paths seems to take on a literal interpretation not intended in the verse.

We could trace back to radicals such as Gloria Steinem who did some pretty ridiculous rants. And the effects that some of that are having on our country.

I might add, Mormons “celebrate” what Eve did. More twisted “theology”. I’ve seen it with my own eyes on TV as four “Mormon scholars” discussed this and nodded with approving heads.

Small wonder Joseph Smith said he would become a second Mohammed in warfare if necessary.
