Just goes to show, no matter what human development KPI you choose, the three Scandinavian countries always come out on top.

The Brain

According to a recent poll 7% of Swedes have a positive view of the US. 4% positive to Trump (Putin 1%).
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Even after all his efforts Trump is still playing second fiddle to Putin. Sad.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

QuoteUnited States Senator Mark Kelly, a retired naval officer, has been censured by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for voicing certain opinions on military actions and policy. In addition, he has been subjected to proceedings to possibly reduce his retirement rank and pay and threatened with criminal prosecution if he continues to speak out on these issues. Secretary Hegseth relies on the well-established doctrine that military servicemembers enjoy less vigorous First Amendment protections given the fundamental obligation for obedience and discipline in the armed forces. Unfortunately for Secretary Hegseth, no court has ever extended those principles to retired servicemembers, much less a retired servicemember serving in Congress and exercising oversight responsibility over the military. This Court will not be the first to do so! 

Keep whacking those moles.
