“Skellefte Kraft intends to annually draw a municipality where the company’s customers receive a fifty percent electricity subsidy for one year,” he writes in the press release.

Hello
Can a convicted felon run for president in the United States?
Lasse K
Yes, it seems so.
There is nothing in the constitution that prevents a person who has been charged or convicted of a crime from standing for election, or taking office as president.
Congratulations Finland!
Does Finland also need to give its approval now before Sweden can become a member of NATO…?
Norrbottning
No, Finland is not yet considered a formal member.
It is Hungary and Turkey that need to approve Sweden’s membership!
Does a can of roe cost 1,400? Just wondering about the thefts at Ica…

According to “my” coop, there is a shortage of minced meat in Sweden and the world now. Is it true? There was no minced meat at all in the store today and no forecast when it will arrive. I don’t have any other stores nearby to check, so I’m asking you at AB if that’s correct? Can’t find anything when I google.
