Local municipalities have veto rights to block development. There are also a bunch of rules, often overlapping, than may stop planning. All planning decisions can also be (and are) appealed for years. There is also a lack of cheap housing

The interest rate deduction has been around longer than that. In 1990/1991 it was reduced to 30% from 50%. Low interest rates, the deduction, no wealth tax and a massively reduced property tax all contributed to this bubble though.

You are joking right? Syria used sarin gas on civilians. There are few things as terrifying and atrocious as chemical weapons. It is absolute insanity to use nerve gas, never mind the other war crimes committed by the Assad regime.

They aren't actually located in Stockholm, but close enough to use resources from the Stockholm Area. Supposedly the DCs will be located in Västerås, Eskilstuna and Katrineholm[0]. [0] http://digital.di.se/artikel/

IKEA actually publishes a yearly report[1] that is close to what a public company would publish. But they don't have to. Regardless, the 500 shareholder thing specifically applies to American companies as far as I know. [2] [1] http:&

>They bought way too much stock, and never worked with size curves, just flat ranges. Oh dear... I can get bringing in too much stock, It is understandable as a new young company that you overestimate sales of some items but not working

There are a lot of people who bike all year. Though less than in spring-autumn. You probably need/want winter tires for your bike and it may be cold but sure, it is possible. The bike lanes are usually cleared quickly when it snows. Fo

About 35 minutes. 5 min walk to the bus, one bus stop then hopping on the subway for 20 min, luckily I don't have to change so I can just relax for those 20 min. Then a 10 minute walk to the office. Not too bad at all for living in a

Cannot edit the original post anymore. I have added new statistics at the bottom, including 10th and 90th percentile. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yPjcXoKuwq8SBngQ2-G9...

When I worked in manual labour (warehouses etc) that was certainly the case but in a white-collar job it is much less structured in my experience, we may have a formal fika once a week or just informal coffee breaks every now and then. Fika

I have a question regarding the 9-5 working day. Do Americans really work 9-5 and regard this as an 8 hour working day? Or is this a legacy of the old days with paid lunch or such? I officially work 8.25 hours per day or 8-17 with 45 minute
