Not fond of the eyes, they seem odd and I can't peg exactly why (I've measured, they are technically proportionate), but all of Rhonda's reference pictures I could find were bad and/or low resolution, and I am trying to turn these out quick so I couldn't take the time to dwell too heavily on it. *shrug*

So when everyone is scared and has no money, the answer is to raise the prices on vital needs. That's sure to go over smashingly well.

Gotta price the market based on demand. You wanted capitalism. You got it.

And in socialism there are bread lines without a pandemic...

There are? News to Sweden.

It’s still very cool. Can’t do anything like it myself. Although I did sheepishly think it was Sarah Palin at first glance.

Sweden has become a hellhole, unfortunately.

News to Sweden once again. Though give your extensive knowledge of Sweden and repeated visits and many friends and family who live there I have no reason to doubt your assessment.

I guess you can't comment on America anymore then.

You sound like Sean Penn right there. Lol

[zombie]

he has lots of american friends. and a sister who lives here, if i'm not mistaken.

[Headhunter]

Sweden did handle this situation rather horribly.

Sweden also isn’t really socialist. All those European countries are capitalist. :mrgreen:

So? England is his city. :p

The idea that knowledge of the way a country operates is irrelevant because you don't have friends who live there is nonsense.

[Headhunter]

It does make a big difference to experience a foreign country. You understand what the day to day atmosphere is like.

so you should have said that, to start. and i wouldn't have chimed with my own smart ass comment to yours.

On the ground, I can’t supply much anecdotally. But it’s hardly the same issue. Your politics are everywhere as are your news, TV and social media. I can’t see you reading Swedish news or listening to Swedish political shows.

[Headhunter]

What was the rationale for keeping things open in Sweden? Would have never guessed they'd do that.

Yup, fairly true. Social democracies, but definitely more to the left than the average in a modern context.

Sweden should be Jason’s dream. Going for the burn through option he do loves. Hellhole indeed.

You'd be surprised.

This was an interesting take on this. Sweden is relatively well placed in some regards to not over engineer a solution. And it’s very transparent. But I’m not clear it’s a good plan personally. But they aren’t blundering into it.

There is also that.

is horror noire, on shudder, any good?
