Well yeah, it’s quite easy to keep your energy prices low when you

• have a wealth of hydrocarbon sources in-country
• supplement them by bombing other nations until they give you there’s
• don’t give a flying fuch about the planet

Population of Sweden: 10.6 million

Population of the USA: 340.1 million

So the population density is very similar and I therefore don’t understand what you’re getting at.

More of a famous quote I guess, but:

“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

Since I first heard it, I’ve been far less annoyed / paranoid about other peoples actions, at work in particular.
