Uses a license produced engine from US (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_RM12), which has caused endless problems in exports for SAAB, since the US blocks them frequently when they are about to win a contract.
I would go for Rafale or Eurofighter and I am saying this as a swede. We need to replace the engines ASAP. Perhaps a UK, German or French one. Would probably take years to develop thought and likely a significant overhaul will be necessary.
Yeah, it is definitely getting more common. And cashless stores are also getting more common, which isn't necessarily a desirable development :/
This is a good point concerning Swish too, I have no idea.
Thanks for letting me know! I suspected it was wrong, but didn't know what was correct. I was however certain that someone would correct me XD
We have have CETA, which has the intent to harmonize our economies and trade already so we are pretty tight already.
Are we talking about Quebec? Because I'm pretty sure it is part of Canada, as strange as it might seem...
(FYI I love you Quebecians, I am sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings!)
In Sweden we have Swish, which allows you to pay for stuff online without using any debit or credit card. I use it all the time, I cannot remember last time I paid online with card, unless it was from a foreign online shop/service.
However, it often isn't available in grocery and retail stores. But it is often available in rural areas or small shops who don't want to pay the fee for cards.
Also, Sweden is developing an e-krona, an electronic version of the Swedish currency. It should hopefully replace cards in all shops in the future.
Until then, using cash in grocery and retail stores is always possible. The problem is most swedes haven't seen physical money in so long I am not certain they still know how to use it... 🤔
You and me both, kitty. You and me both...
This is in a way true. If ostriches weight less or had bigger wing area (like, absurdly large), they would be able to fly. So it isn't the wings per se as you say. Interesting.
It's the most adorable ship in my opinion 😆
Wow I didn't actually expect you to create one. Thanks!
Probably. Riksbanken is currently investing how it could be implemented: https://www.riksbank.se/sv/betalningar--kontanter/e-krona/
