Just imagine paying for a car with something like an SJ credit card and get the motherload of priopoäng!

(For the non-Swedes, SJ is a train company with a version of a frequent flyer miles point system, and they like most of those have a credit card where every SEK spent earns you 1 point. A trip from Malmö to Stockholm (600km, ~4,5h) can be bought for some 12-16000 points. A new car costs anywhere from 300000 sek up to a million and beyond.)

I'm interested in what these regulations are. In Sweden there is often talk of how the law for job security (lagen om anställningsskydd) is the biggest hurdle for businesses, making it expensive and a risk to hire people since you can't just fire them willy nilly. Critics make it seem like you can't fire them at all, even for being incompetent, when in actuality you can if you just set clear expectations and document why they are not met. Not to mention the six month trial period for new hires where you can fire them willy nilly, and I wonder what jobs there are where half a year isn't enough to tell if they are a good fit.

It's funny how "business unfriendly" is just code for having to pay taxes, or having to contribute to the societies they profit from in any way. God forbid we should be able to afford the infrastructure keeping their businesses afloat!

We have to react and show that the joke isn't funny. It sounds ridiculous that they would ban two numbers or even just the meme, but they just banned a font. Banning a meme is ridiculous for now. We must be vigilant!

I live in Europe and I've seen them in almost every hot dog shop ("korvkiosk" in Swedish) I'v been to.

Bingo! You figured it out! They know this and it's by design.

But Allan Petterssons 7th symphony did. Granted, it is a very important piece for Swedish classical music, but arguably a much smaller part of modern Swedish culture than ABBA.
