Maybe it’s all connected. Maybe the Muslims are rioting over the lack of union-approved charging stations. 🤔

Tesla is under scrutiny from Swedish authorities following a complaint lodged by the Union of Swedish Electricians, Bloomberg News reported.
The labor union has accused the US automaker of conducting unauthorized electrical work at its charging stations in an attempt to bypass a sympathy strike by union members.
The union's allegations, made public on Tuesday, suggest that Tesla performed work at certain installations without registering it with the National Electrical Safety Board, a requirement under Swedish law.
The complaint is the latest twist in a 15-month dispute between Tesla and Swedish labor unions, which began when the electric vehicle manufacturer declined to sign a collective bargaining agreement with mechanics at its Swedish workshops.
The union is still awaiting an update from the police on an earlier report filed in the summer of 2024.
Earlier this month, Max de Zegher, Tesla's head of charging, said that over 100 charging stalls would have been operational in Sweden if not for the sympathy strikes. His statement came after reports of Swedish vacationers waiting in long lines to use EV chargers.
Lawfare - its what’s for dinner every night in the deep state.
I think Sweden has much bigger problems that a strike won’t solve.
Maybe it’s all connected. Maybe the Muslims are rioting over the lack of union-approved charging stations. 🤔
Musk is heading Trump’s DOGE committee.
Does Sweden still get 25% of its power from wind? That might have a larger impact on setting up a bunch of EV chargers, than disputing over who gets to connect the wires.
Why am I reminded of this bit of Prophecy from Terry Gilliam? :
