Topic	Sweden's economy "the least harmed in Europe".
BalanceLost 07/22/20 8:13:29 AM #32:	averagejoel posted... so tc, how many people do you think should sacrifice themselves for the economy? ScazarMeltex posted... Sacrificing human lives so that rich people don't lose money is a failure you fucking toad. Jesus christ man, I don't know how to explain to you that human lives are worth more than just the dollar amount you can extract off of their existence. Preferably none. There are however indications based on investigations done by IVO (The Inspection Authority of Nursing and Care) that the death rate would be about the same even with a lockdown due to the already exisiting flaws in our elderly care in several municipalities. As I already have written in this topic: elderly care is run by the municipalities and 40 of our 290 municipalities got 70% of the deaths. Structural flaws in elderly care started appearing in several municipalities after control of elderly care was transfered to the municipalities in the 1990s. The power transfer was a Neoliberal move which should have been reversed years ago but there has not been a majority in Riksdagen for such a decision in a long time. And economically Sweden isnt like the US where it mainly seems to be the rich who save money. Our healthcare system has been holding up well (There is a major difference between healthcare and elderly care here) and it relies on funding which requires people to work and pay taxes (like other important systems in Sweden). I have a question for you guys out of curiosity. The Government could not legally implement the type of lockdown most Western countries have imposed since it is illegal according to the Constitution. We have a minority Government and they did ask Riksdagen for certain emergency powers but Riksdagen only allowed a watered down version which has now expired since the law came with a time limit. So lets say that the Government now were to want a lockdown - should they violate the Constitution? Riksdagen would then have the PM removed from office though. --- "BalanceLost has a steam-powered PS2 because Sweden don't have electric" - dimeanatrix <cite>BalanceLost posted [p:942431558] in Sweden'...
