 Good stuff! I had a tonkatsu poke bowl and it was good. The only drawback is too much sallad and mushroom which they use to camouflage the inflation here. There just was an election here and the socialists won, so now we are looking forward to tax increases. In fact, the woke government that just left are doing their share as well by doubling the VAT on food, so a lot of small restaurants are currently closing.
 Classics waiting us later next year are a new progressive income tax and increase corporation tax.

That's a succinct and sad summary of socialism's solipsism.

And I call it that because as the collectivists go, it's always about their group-think, not the impact it will have on their nation.

Amen!
Today I heard a story about a businessman in lithuania who told the new
government "f*ck you, I'm leaving" because apparently he had been trying
to build a factory that would bring 6000 jobs, and the government, both
the previous and the new, have been fighting him on every single level,
since he is not a party member. So when the new government only spoke
about increasing taxes, he said, "I'm done".
I think if more business men would be equally principled, taxes would
come down rather quickly. As it is, they remain sycophants in the hope
of receiving benefits from the party in power.

As it currently is, I have a hard time seeing Costco survive in Sweden. That breaks my heart, as I would love to have the Costco I've always heard about. Their current offer is for us to pay a membership fee that allows us to drive to a remote location and pay between 80-300% of normal prices for things. This feels like a scam to me."
