For the Americans wondering, yes we can do that in Sweden.

I'm not wondering that, I'm cheering you on. I'm wondering why we don't do his ourselves. Safety in numbers, use the collective empathy to motivate that which has no empathy. I love it.

We don’t do this ourselves because, even at fairly high income levels, we’re all living a lot closer to paycheck-to-paycheck than we’d all like, and our ability to get healthcare and afford food and housing is tied quite directly to our jobs, and we have nearly no real social safety nets or real worker protections to speak of compared to Europe.
