The ignorance is palpable

For transparency and my own agenda, I strongly dislike socialism and our previous government, the Social Democrats with the support of the Green Party and the tacit acceptance of the Left Party, who ruled Sweden for 8 years. At the last election, I voted for the current government.

It was discovered in 2019 that the state's energy authority had granted "green loans" to hopeful listed companies without any major review. The green loans were never followed up and the companies could for several years ignore repaying the loans without any consequences whatsoever. In all, it's more than $441,500,000 of taxpayer money. Last week it emerged that the majority of these loans have been converted into grants instead of loans.

There is nothing that opens doors and grants loans like "green investments". It's as if the lenders stop reviewing the application documents as soon as they read green investments. I can almost see a parallel between the matador's approach of inciting and luring the bull with the red cape to investors' use of the words "green investment" to get a share of the tax dollars.

The control and respect for tax money is non-existent.
