After several years of strong development, during which AcadeMedia has established itself as a quality leader and expanded to become Europe's largest education player, we now want to strengthen the board for the continued journey. We are convinced that these two new members will bring significant value, and we see their experience as a valuable addition to the board's future work, says Rune Andersson, Chairman of AcadeMedia's Nomination Committee. Annie Lööf has broad experience and great competence from both public and private sectors. Her experience in leadership, strategic issues, and regulatory environments will be an important addition to the board and AcadeMedia's continued development, believes Rune Andersson. Fredrik Rågmark has solid experience in building and developing operations within the welfare sector, both in Sweden and internationally. His long experience as a business leader and board member, along with his experience in international expansion, will be a significant complement to AcadeMedia's board, continues Rune Andersson. #AcadeMedia #styrelse #AnnieLööf (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson argued that the government formation should be based on the fact that S, V, MP, and C had campaigned for a change of power and had Magdalena Andersson as a common candidate for prime minister. She wrote that C could not count in parties that did not support Andersson and at the same time demand influence based on their mandates. According to Gabrielsson, voters had given C 7 percent and V 8.4 percent, and V would not accept C pursuing right-wing policies with the support of V's mandate. Gabrielsson stated that C could seek support from Ulf Kristersson or try to get KD and L to switch sides. If that did not happen, C needed to negotiate with S, V, and MP to get a majority behind Andersson, according to her. She wrote that V was willing to compromise, but that the parties supporting a prime minister candidate must also be able to accept each other as a government basis. She criticized C’s growth proposals, including continued privatization of the Employment Service and permanent tax subsidies to cleaning companies and large restaurant chains. Gabrielsson claimed that the Economic Institute, the Fiscal Policy Council, and others had assessed the proposals as ineffective, expensive, and ineffective in creating jobs. She also wrote that the proposals would be financed through cuts to unemployment benefits and sick pay as well as cuts in welfare. Gabrielsson asserted that the most voters preferred a red-green government, followed by the Tidö alternative, while C's centrist alternative lagged far behind. She wrote that more people had voted for S, V, and MP than for the previous Alliance if SD was excluded. Finally, she urged C to first clarify its political direction and implied that the party needed to choose a side if it could not find a centrist solution. #Regering #Sverige #Politik (translated)

Working irregular hours is equally taxing regardless of whether you do it in a nursing home or in a factory. The fact that welfare employees work longer hours is a historical injustice that must be rectified, says Malin Ragnegård, union chair, Kommunal. It is incomprehensible that irregular work grants the right to shorter working hours in the male-dominated industry, but not in the female-dominated welfare sector. Now it is time to abolish women's working hours, says Malin Ragnegård, union chair, Kommunal. #välfärd #arbetstidsförkortning #kvinnoarbetstider (translated)

According to a new report from Kommunal, women in the welfare sector work more than two hours a week compared to industrial workers with irregular working hours, highlighting a historical injustice and lack of compensation for night and weekend work. #välfärd #arbetstidsförkortning #kvinnoarbetstider (translated)

The writer stated that it usually went badly for S when the party was allied with leftist parties. According to the writer, a snap election focused on antisemitism, unemployment, and shortcomings in welfare could lead to a broad and well-functioning government. #politik #val2024 #Sverige #SE (translated)

Mats Yxhäll wrote that it was one of many similar cases. He questioned the assertion that immigrants saved the welfare system and claimed that they were instead treated too leniently, while rules that he believed were very strict for Swedes were ignored. Yxhäll also asked how a man could afford several tickets to Somalia when he could not afford to pay for child support. #invandring #välfärd #Sverige (translated)

Kristina wrote that Karl Oskar and Kristina did not encounter any welfare state, but had to build a hut and arrange for shelter, warmth, and food before winter themselves.

Christian Peterson wrote that the social democrat Per Molander had invested 510,000 kronor in the grant-funded ETC. He stated that Molander had worked at the Government Offices and had long criticized profit interests in welfare. When Peterson asked about the stock purchase, which he said was marketed with a return of 5.5 percent, Molander replied briefly and eventually closed the door. https://t.co/7EsDPgjlr9 #politik #sverige #välfärd (translated)

Christian Peterson stated that he contacted the shareholders by phone and through home visits to ask how they felt about making a profit in a business that was largely financed by taxpayers' money. He also wanted to know how the business differed from the welfare companies that ETC itself criticized. #aktieägare #välfärd #skattepengar (translated)

"There is a red-green majority in the parliament, and we will continue to be constructive in this process so that Sweden can have a red-green government in place. For us, the common starting points are given: emissions must be reduced, welfare strengthened, and we must rebuild our country together." Green Party spokesperson Daniel Helldén comments on this in a text message to DN: "There is a red-green majority in the parliament, and we will continue to be constructive in this process so that Sweden can have a red-green government in place.

Now Sveriges Radio is reporting extensively on rapes against the elderly in home care. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about just this – about how elderly care has long functioned as a labor market for integration policy for newly arrived and immigrant labor. Some points from my review: • Elderly Minister Anna Tenje notes that elderly care has for too long been used as a labor market and integration policy arena: “Almost anyone has been allowed in.” • Foreign-born individuals account for 31.8 percent of the wage sum in care, compared to 19.1 percent in the economy as a whole. Care is the welfare sector with the highest proportion. • Of the over 20,000 unaccompanied men who arrived in 2015, 27.5 percent are now working in care, social services, and welfare – about 5,500 people. • Employers can receive very large government wage subsidies to hire, among others, newly arrived individuals. A home care entrepreneur describes to Fokus how employers are actively fed information about the support. • The Employment Service also states that the authority does not impose its own requirements for education, language, or suitability when someone is matched with elderly care: “It is the employer who sets the requirements.” • And the question that still lacks a proper answer: is there a connection between this recruitment and integration policy and the abuses? Anna Tenje says that the knowledge situation is too poor to draw that conclusion. The Crime Prevention Council has therefore been tasked with mapping the crimes.

A brief Swedish economic history that seems to have fallen out of the curriculum: Ruben Rausing left Sweden in 1969. Ingvar Kamprad left in 1973. Hans and Gad Rausing shipped out in 1982. H&M founder Erling Persson emigrated the same year. Reason: tax. The Left thought it was just an empty threat and implemented a series of tax increases. In the 90s, Stefan Persson also threatened to leave. Then the tax rules changed. He stayed and later paid 1.7 billion in income tax in just three years. It is totally irrelevant how high the tax rate is on paper if the wealthy flee. 100% of 0 kronor is unfortunately 0 kronor. What is relevant is, of course, how much tax actually comes in when people adjust to it. An honest question: is Sweden so incredibly wrong as it is? Thriving startup culture, very generous welfare, a good country to live and reside in. Do we have to challenge this with EVEN. MORE. TAX? #Ekonomi #Skatt #Sverige (translated)
