Yeah, but they are generally banned over here in the EU so it's good rhat there's alternatives that does the same but are also energy efficient.

Damn, didn't even know about those. Starting to sound like the US is just majorily fucked up with how they perceive the neverending chase for more profits (and money in the owners pockets). The problem still with government involvement is that it can then just as easily be removed and you're back on square one. I'm not well informed enough about the US to actually give any valid input on how you would actually solve this.

Was a bit tired when writing the comment, should have been adjusted to minimal involvement as the main procedures should still be between workers and companies with the state just guaranteeing that these procedures can take place at all.

True, that we can agree on is necessary to not get into the same situation that happened here. What I'm saying is that it is not necessary for something to be mandatory for it to still be almost universal.

By not getting the state involved at all. All negotiations happens between the workers and the companies with about 88% of workers in Sweden having a collective agreement. All workers also have the right legally to join or start a union and unionbusting is illegal. If the company doesn't want a collective agreement it usually results in strikes such as the ongoing one against Tesla that has been going on since 2023.

I get where you're coming from but unions should not be mandated, they need to be formed for the actual workers that want things to change for the better. Just look at Sweden for a good example of how to implement unions at almost all workspaces without the need for the state to be involved.

Had chicken pox when I was young and recently had shingles. It was so painful but I got lucky and it was over in about a week. Still visible where it was though. But in general I still think making your children just have chicken pox instead of vaccinating them is a common occurence here in Sweden as the vaccine isn't part of the normal vaccination plan.

Sweden has technically only existed since 1523 when we got our independance from Denmark. Norway has been under both Sweden and Denmark for numerous years until 1905 when the Swedish-Norwegian union ended. Denmark on the other hand has existed atleast since 863 as that is the first time it is mentioned. So it depends on how you count.
