Society
In this category, I discuss various societal issues.
A few years ago (a little more) I watched a Youtube video – one of many, one can argue, but I was hooked on this one. It was a video from a party night in another culture, in another country. Probably a wedding. The guests stood in a large circle in a yard, och tittade på en… Read more
Nu när mina cellgiftsbehandlingar är över är jag inte lika infektionskänslig, och inte heller lika trött. Kombinerat med ett alldeles fantastiskt väder var det helt klart läge att ge sig ut för att fotografera Tone. Innan vi gav oss iväg hade vi som vanligt ett långt samtal, som idag var av det allvarligare slaget.

Jag fick för mig att kolla vad elräkningen ligger den här månaden. Det var ingen rolig upplevelse. Förra månaden betalade jag drygt 600 span – nu ska jag betala 1 007 kronor i el. Jag vill tillägga att en normal elräkning i min lägenhet ligger på runt 250 spänn i månaden, a few tens here or… Read more
My voting card dropped in the mailbox the other day. A strong reminder that it will soon be time to vote. Just that voting in Swedish politics has been extremely clever ever since 2010 when the Sweden Democrats entered the Riksdag.

In my past post I described what is going on within… Read more
Is it only in Västerås that there is a problem with housing support? Let me take you on a little journey in the land of contemplation, when I tell you about what happens to the housing allowance in Västerås municipality. For you who do not have control – housing support is a free service offered by municipalities, to people of varying degrees… Read more
Got a note in the mailbox that Postnord has decided that my personal postal agent is from now on at Willys, Erikslund (large shopping center) in Västerås. There I can pick up packages, letter post advances and registered letters. The inflexibility of this knows no bounds, because I live several kilometers away and do not have a car.
Right now is I… Read more
There are many disadvantages to having sickness benefits. Primarily; it's not very much money to begin with. When you also for some reason happen to mess with it, it gets even worse. If at the same time you need a larger amount of money to invest in something that is real, really needed, it will be very… Read more
