Inget kan vara sämre för svenska löntagare än om det plötsligt uppstår konsensus om att ”pengarna är slut” mitt i en lågkonjunktur med 8 procents arbetslöshet

Det här var en fin text tycker jag www.expressen.se/ledare/linda...

Sweden deports eight month old baby to Iran without his parents, national public radio reports. The ruling is a consequence of the harsh immigration laws initiated by the success of the nazi-originated party that is now crucial to the government’s mandate, but most parties are behind these laws.

Imorgon försvarar jag min avhandling. Därefter ska jag försöka dra mitt strå till stacken och jobba som industripolitisk utredare på Katalys. Ses vi där ute?

Nu kan jag inte hålla tillbaka mer I fyra år har Tidöregeringen metodiskt gjort Sverige mer beroende av fossildespoter och undergrävt konkurrenskraften genom att öka importerna av fossila bränslen och motarbetat elektrifieringen av industri och transport. Skriver om detta på SvD debatt

A legislative change approved by the European Parliament will enable EU states to send asylum seekers to countries with which they have no existing link. #EuropeNews

A big share of future historians will conclude that the difference btw US und EU in the 2020s was not in the scale or violence of their respective deportation enforcement regimes but in the scale and ferocity of public opposition to it. On average, Europeans cared far less.

On the hellish detention and deportation system built by EU countries. With quotes from the current and the former German chancellors expressing their commitment to the inhumane cruelty of this apparatus, described here in forensic detail.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Det är hårda ord från fackföreningsägda Katalys, men stämmer i vart fall när det gäller hur SD:s råhet, slughet och långsiktiga målmedvetenhet underskattats av ledningen i S. www.flamman.se/socialdemokr...

Det är svårt att välja citat ur den här artikeln av @maxjerneck.bsky.social eftersom den är så sprängfull av pregnanta formuleringar. Läs hela istället. www.flamman.se/socialdemokr...

Mycket bra av @maxjerneck.bsky.social Det går inte att neutralisera SD genom att anpassa sig till deras politik, följden blir bara att man hamnar på en plats där man inte vill vara....

Genom att kopiera Sverigedemokraternas migrationspolitik trodde Socialdemokraterna att konflikten skulle försvinna. I stället har man hjälpt SD att bana väg för ännu extremare förslag, skriver @maxjerneck.bsky.social. www.flamman.se/socialdemokr...

But anyway, it will forever baffle me how European government's could put key aspects of Europe's security in the hands of people who believe stuff like this

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Nästan alla svenskar har fått mindre pengar i plånboken sedan 2021. Förutom den rikaste tiondelen. De har rakt igenom kostnadskrisen fått stigande kapitalinkomster och kraftigt sänkta skatter. Detta är inte en rimlig politisk prioritering www.etc.se/debatt/alla-...

A quick take on Warsh. In terms of ideology and theory, at first glance he looks like a fairly standard pre-2008 'hawk' but he's perhaps closer to 80s monetarism: he thinks inflation is caused by government spending and money printing. 1/n www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

This something I want people to understand. If you don’t get their names, they’re just gone. There’s no arrest record and the snatch-and-grabs can last seconds. People simply disappear and we can’t find out who they are or what happened to them.

Hundratusentals svenskar vill arbeta mer men hålls fast i osäkra jobb, deltider och arbetslöshet. Regeringens bild av lata arbetslösa stämmer inte, och statistiken visar varför, skriver @jonasalgers.bsky.social. www.flamman.se/bristande-dr...

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Here are some more exact numbers on which I based this article: Sweden has 4.43 billionaires per capita; the US has 2.69. In Sweden, the billionaires own 34% of the GDP; in the US, it is 26.5%. The days of Swedish equality are long gone.

Republicans forced the Bureau of Land Management to put over 20,000 acres of public land in Colorado up for auction at the discount price of $10/acre with reduced royalty rates for oil and gas drilling. No one bid for it because demand for oil is crashing though. 🔌💡 www.cpr.org/2026/01/09/b...

But but but, you say, how can you simultaneously encourage the private construction of new buildings while expropriating the private owners of old ones? I will tell you how: through the magic of discount rates.

Capitalism for developers and communism for landlords is, imo, simply the correct approach to housing policy.

Om man bara försvarar folkrätten när det passar kommer det i omvärlden att uppfattas som hyckleri. Folkrätten är världssamfundets enda skydd mot anarki, och den behöver försvaras på principiella grunder varje gång den överträds, skriver jag i @arbetet.bsky.social arbetet.se/2026/01/09/m...

One thing that gets my goat is to read *leftists* saying that "capitalism" has produced all the great wonders of modern technological advance (alongside the horrors it took to get here). "Capitalism" didn't produce those things; people did, working frankly in a whole variety of social arrangements.

This report in Nature on the costs of competing for & administering scientific grants is shocking: "In other words, European taxpayers will have spent more on the funding process than on the funding itself, and the scientific ecosystem has been drained." www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪

It is the very mechanism of redress. Removing citizenship disempowers the state as much as it punishes the people in question.

Attempting to strip someone of citizenship is always a transparent and hopeless effort to avoid responsibility for the underlying problem you claim to object to. Their citizenship is *why* they can be held accountable for the actions you object to.

Best essay I've read in a while. "Europe does not need to become China to learn from China. What it needs is to rediscover something it once knew how to do: coordinate...connective institutions that bind labs to lenders, regulators to builders, engineers to investors." substack.com/home/post/p-...

As a matter of fact, spreads in the eurozone have nothing to do with debt levels. In the early 1990s, Italy’s debt-GDP ratio was 113%, and spreads over Germany were over 5 points. In 1999, the debt ratio was still 113, but the spread had fallen to 0.24.
