    And you shouldn't be able to yank someone from another part of the world anyway. That's unethical.

    So... After I rob your house, if I can make it to the Canadian border without getting caught, I'm home free, and this is entirely ethical, right?

    And of course the proper response to such crimes is to commit more crimes against more innocents in retaliation.

    He hacked into a US company and gave information about US citizens to an unfriendly power for the express purpose of hunting these people down and killing them. Kosovo was apparently content to let him keep flitting back and forth between there and KL indefinitely. The Malaysian authorities apparently weren't. He should be grateful to them for turning him over to the Americans. This means he'll very likely get to live to go home again eventually, instead of doing so in a casket, following an impromptu necktie party.

    Why do you feel the need to make excuses for this character, anyhow?

    Hej Johan,

    You can actually rent a flat in Malmö? Or do you mean "rent" as in "pay SEK 250 a year to be on a waiting list for ten years"? The latter is why I bought a flat in Stockholm...

    I'd really like to see what factual basis you're employing for this argument, because I'm not seeing one. In fact, I come to exactly the opposite conclusion, maybe because (a) I live in Sweden, (b) I know what a washing machine costs here, and (c) I can do simple maths.

    Washing machine X costs the same regardless of your income. (Yes, if you make more, you can buy a more expensive machine, in which case it's a different machine.)

    If I make 100000 SEK a year and spend 10000 of it on that washing machine, that's 10% of my income. If I spend 5000 to repair it, that's 5%. If I get back 2500 of that on my taxes, that's 2.5%.

    If I make 200000 SEK a year and spend 10000 of it on a washing machine, that's 5% of my income. If I spend 5000 to repair it, that's 2.5%. If I get back 2500 of that on my taxes, that's 1.25%.

    So, if anything, the tax cut actually benefits low-income folks *more* than it does the wealthy since it returns a greater proportion of their income. What's your evidence to the contrary, other than grand pronouncements?
