How does one say, "y'all hold our beer and watch this" in Swedish? It will be interesting to see how that works out for them. Here is an article that is less "rah rah" on it:

...articles should not be written by folks without knowledge of the subject matter... I realize opining on subjects, with neither education nor experience, and expecting an opinion to be seriously considered, is a libertarian trait - hell, I have to fight it in myself - but the reason article is a bit absurd.

Valid points on the economics, but not all cultures can be part of “civilization” - and, frankly, China is proving itself to not be. Civilization cannot work, when it tries to interact with low-trust societies, and treat them as if they are high-trust.

I was just doing a search on how Sweden was fairing, no recent updates. Probably an indication that they are doing ok. I assume if it was going to shit it would be all over the news .
