Idiocy on a grand scale.
The Swedish taxpayers are being ripped off by the clowns that agreed to implement a job efficiency plan based on a study of animals.
The more I think about it — this has GOT to be a parting shot from The Weekly World News!
Sadly, most people belong down there with apes. Yours is a good illustration of the power “conventional wisdom” has over people and their inability to think logically if doing so produces results that contradict “conventional wisdom”.
It’s a fact that most people don’t think for themselves.
Indeed a multi-storey story.
However, despite all of the levels of the whole thing, I guess it all boils down to this:
Apes need bananas, the government crave for your money. In case nothing is done in order to prevent it, the survival of humanity at large is threatened.
Today, Sweden is cutting taxes and the US, once known as a market economy characterized by entrepreneurship, low taxes and unparalleled levels of economic freedom is burdened by way higher corporate taxes than many European nations (including Sweden).
Even though many European countries have higher taxes in general, it is notable that many European businesses enjoy lower CORPORATE taxes.

fascinating study! I try to be the one who questions, and breaks the chain. For example I see in initiations.. like a new professional in the organization is expected to ‘earn’ their place. They give them absurdly long hours, tough work and so on. A lot is because they were initiated like that, and they want to make sure newcomers have it just as tough as they did + a little extra. I try to break the chain in things like that, I don’t pass it on.
