I'm not so sure that's going far enough. I'd be on board if they raised property and sales taxes so I could afford a bigger house and more groceries. Still, my employer would probably just raise my wages, effectively putting me all the way back where I started.
I'd hope and pray my employer lowers my salary so much I can be in a lower tax bracket. Than I can go on welfare which pays for all my necessities and is a solid flawless system I can live off of for the rest of my life.
At least my all-American Dodge Ram truck will be cheaper, because it's definitely not made from parts manufactured in Mexico by a European corporation.
When I went to core school (mandatory for ages 6 through 15) swimming was a required subject. We swam in one of many tax funded swimming halls in the area.
Edit: I'm from Sweden, same as Greta although a fair bit older

I don't think that will work, but hopefully they raise income taxes so I at least take home a bit more cash each month.

No, I think you might be confusing it with Atlanta.

Maybe you're thinking of a person or thing that packs down tightly by a succession of blows or taps?

Maybe you are thinking of when someone is always in a bad mood.

Point out on the pigeon where it is painful.

No, they were most certainly not homeschooled by a pigeon. Pigeons have brains and can learn things. They were homeschooled by a bag of wet bags.

Yeah same, there are like 0% of swedes that can't swim if it's physically possible.
I was actually a bit shocked when I moved more south in Europe that there were people who couldn't swim (or ride a bicycle).

I can swim like a bicycle 😅

They aren't wrong. Tariffs could help bring the upcoming Samsung A17 to $1000-1200.

Ah yes, the upcoming "Samsung Phone". I hear it's going to be really game-changing!

Huh. I actually had to look this up, and you're right; they are largely monogamous and share parenting responsibilities.
My sincerest apologies. Say hi to them when you get home.
