Considering Sweden, Denmark, and Norway have some of the highest wealth per adult considering their size and labor practices, I think they're doing just fine.

Don't wanna play by Swedish rules? Don't go to Sweden.

- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> Sweden absolutely will lose out on billions of FDI. Actions have consequences. Zero precedent for this. Scandinavia has had the same economic model since WWII. There is a pattern of foreign companies naïvely blundering into it. But that has never changed that it's a valuable (i.e. wealthy, capitalist and early adopting) beachhead into Europe, from America, and the West, from Asia. This fight Tesla got itself into was avoidable and predictable. The escalation, too, to the region and--soon enough--continent, is also as predictable as it is unavoidable (absent a course correction from Tesla).

- notaustinpowers 3y agoConsidering all foreign investments account for only 8.5% of their GDP, I think they'll be okay if Tesla backs out.
- kryptiskt 3y agoThis system has been in place for almost 100 years. Literally all other multinational companies shrug and negotiate an agreement with the unions, they know that Swedes are pretty cheap labor all told and that strikes are exceedingly rare here. The only reason Tesla is having problems is because Elon Musk is on an ideological crusade, there is no way this is economically rational.
