Family (Nordquist) came from far north east Sewden, best friends family came from about 50 miles east in Finland. (Jorma).
May I ask what you think of Sweden today?
What is it like”
Are you happy with how things are?
Too much govt? Or just enough?
Here we hear of horror stories die to socialism?
Great Grandma came over to the Michigan area and do to hard work things worked out well.
- The summers are wonderful, the winters are chilly.
On the other hand, a REAL, white, Swedish winter, especially in a small Swedish “Astrid Lindgren (mother of Pippi Longstocking)” town like Visby, Hjo or Vadstena definitely is among the most wonderful things one could experience during Christmas time.
I'm not overly happy with our politicians, but we are moving in the right direction. For instance, Sweden has lowered income taxes a lot recently.
Do I enjoy life in here Sweden despite Muslims and moron Politicians?
Yes, I do.
Not so much because we drive costly Volvos, SAABs and Audis and can afford things like yachts and travelling the world each year, but because the people living here, with few exceptions, are very intelligent and also exceptionally friendly.
When I go to work, I meet with workmates that wish to perform well and also understand that the success of their individual lives have very much to do with how the company they work for (as well as Sweden as a whole) performs.
In France and Italy people go on strikes.
Work isn't everything, but everything could be ruined by people who don't wish to understand how important true work ethics are.
Sweden, as well as other Nordic countries like Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland (despite Iceland's present crises) are today very well run nations, devoted to Capitalism.
Thanks to our success in the area of business, we today constitute the 9th largest economy on Earth if viewed as a whole.
Quite an accomplishment IMO.
Yes, I enjoy being a part of success.
