   Marten/Egid, As I live in Sweden I’ll add some thought on the subject to both of you. True, over a longer (50+ year) period imigrants to Sweden are mostly from Finland but as both countries have alot of social/ethnical/cultural background in common the integration was less of a problem. The last 25(ish) years has seen a shift to Kurdistan(Turkey)/Middle East/Horn of Africa, where especially the Clan/Family way of life is predominant and THAT has caused alot of integration friction that Sweden has been horribly incompetent at handling, resulting in young nowadays only seeing joining crime/drug gangs as a way to earn a living (and quick cash).

   Ramirez, it’s not the Age that is the problem, it is the Ageing. If the Republican Party truly wants to win a landslide victory in November and show America that they care about their country the should nominate Nikki Haley in July.

   True, North vs South – East vs. West. The European countries are far more hetrogenous than the States in North America. And expanding even further east isn’t helping. But it is better than not having a union.

   Far from it – but in the larger countries they gained influence in the EU parliament – but less than predicted.

   When you can’t attack the argument, attack the person… totalitarian play book 1A. Micromind is probably not the worst insult on the net nowadays but I have not in anyway been impolite here so no need for you to start!

   My bad – disinfectant, not bleach, but otherwise YES HE DID. Look up “President Trump Suggests ‘Injecting’ Disinfectant as Coronavirus Cure | NBC New York” on that famous videoplatform. NBC is a pretty serious news channel – it’s not fake.

   The office of President of the United States is a quite serious one – but there are occasions when a laugh is appreciated. When holding a press conference about how to handle a pandemic that spread like wildfire isn’t one of them. I DID see it on Swedish TV to, even though I haven’t revisited for this post and my memory of his suggestion didn’t include any kind of humor in either body language or tone of voice.

   Gary, you have been in the sun to long – please seek medical help.

    You mean Trump, right – the guy who suggested injecting bleach into your bloodstream?
