How sensationalist and lazy. The gas price in Sweden is $7.2 per gallon,[1] in a country where the median hourly wage is $11.9[2] which is more or less half that of California at $22.7.[3] ~~Sure, Sweden may have more public transport, but the California wages are not only twice as high, the income tax is also ~9.3%[4] compared to Sweden's average ~32%.[5]~~ (redacted) So, you know, I think they'll be fine.
