Bolunds förslag försökte lägga munkavle på AP-fondernas anställda

Ett initiativ från Per Bolunds departement 2020 syftade till att begränsa meddelarfriheten för AP-fondernas anställda.

Meddelarfriheten är grundlagsskyddad och utan den hade anställda som berättat om fondernas Northvolt-affärer för media kunnat straffas.

This is f*cking insane. Elon Musk, the man behind SpaceXAI, was asked how a 20-year-old can avoid being left behind in the AI transition. His answer:

"To know what to ask the robots for, you need to formulate the question"

In 84 seconds, he lays out the plan: get the broadest education you can. Arts, sciences, engineering. The more you know, the better you can tell AI what you want

He even names the skill: prompt engineering. You have to convey your wishes to the robot

Then the wild part: there will be so many robots and so much AI that they'll be eager for any request you have, and it gets done immediately

Broad Knowledge → The Right Question → Grok Bot → A Team of Bots → Harness → Done Immediately

Taxibolaget Green SM från Vietnam (!) storsatsar i Sverige

En helt sjuk historia jag tycker media inte riktigt djupdykt nog i men jag råkar ha korsat väg med dem har jag kunnat läsa på rejält om dem. Så för den som är intresserad: Därför kommer ett vietnamesiskt taxibolag till Sverige (Hint: Taxiverksamheten är sekundär i taxibolaget)

För länge sedan fanns en vietnamesisk immigrant, Pham Vuong, i Ukraina som sålde snabbnudlar. Det blev succé. Därefter expanderade han verksamheten och 2010 sålde han bolaget till Nestlé för 150 MUSD. En riktig entreprenör som vågar ta maximalt med risk.

Parallellt hade han byggt en nöjespark i Vietnam. Snabbt satsade han på fler och allt större byggprojekt. Fastigheterna samlades i ett nytt bolag, VinGroup. Deras hyperaggressiva fastighetsutveckling hade perfekt tajming när Vietnam upplevde en ekonomisk boom.

Vuong gick från multimiljonär till multimiljardär. Men han hade inga planer på att hålla sig till bara fastigheter. Han förvärvade "Vietnams ICA" som blev VinMart. Sedan VinMec som är en sjukhuskedja. VinCSS som gör cybersäkerhet. VinSchool som erbjuder utbildning. VinSmart som gjorde Smartphones. Ni börjar nog se mönstret.

2017 startar han VinFast. Ett Vietnamesiskt elbilsbolag som ska konkurrera med Tesla, europeerna och framförallt kineserna. Tidigt uppkommer ett problem, vem sjutton ska köpa vietnamesiska elbilar? Vietnameserna själva tvekar. Lösning?

Vuong startar då en taxitjänst, Green SM, där man beställer in en massa elbilar från VinFast och sen anställer en massa taxiförare. Taxibilarna ska dessutom färgas i Cyan så de sticker ut. På kort tid var vietnamesiska städer fullproppade med cyanfärgade VinFast-bilar och försäljningen började ta fart-

Nu kanske du tänker: Anställa massa taxichaufförer och köpa in en massa elbilar låter precis som motsatsen till Ubers "asset light" affärsmodell som varit så framgångsrik, borde de inte blöda pengar? Jodå!

Kanske tänker du också "Är inte bilbranschen mördande tuff? Blöder inte även Vinfast en massa pengar?", jodå, korrekt igen. Om det stoppar Vuong? Knappast, snarare tvärtom. Han skyfflar in än mer pengar.

Problemet är att bilbranschen är en skal-affär. Vietnam är för litet, de måste exportera för att få skalbarhet och lönsamhet. I USA håller man till och med på med att bygga en fabrik...som kantats av förseningar, legala strider, utgångna tillstånd och just nu gör man ett nytt försök att få till fabriken.

Så var kan man sälja elbilar? Kanske Sverige! Kanske genom att upprepa framgången i Vietnam med Green SM taxibilar? Jajamensan, här sluts cirkeln. De har fått tillstånd för 2500 taxibilar av Transportstyrelsen. Förare erbjuds 28 000 kr/mån + bonus + semsterers. + sjuklön. Det är viktigare att komma igång snabbt än att minimera kostnaderna.

Hur detta ska gå ihop ekonomiskt övergår mitt förstånd. Bara VinFast bränner 2 miljarder USD per år (rapporterad förlust ca det dubbla) med en bruttomarginal på -60% (notera minustecknet) och 281 MUSD i kassan så är man helt beroende av att Vuong löser finansiering.

Nyligen tillsatte Vuong sina egna söner till vd för VinFast och GreenSM. I en svårbegripligt manöver köptenyligen VinFast ett fastighetsbolag i Vietnam som ska hjälpa till med kassaflödet men av min efterforskning så är det fastighetsprojekt som dröjer flera år innan färdigställande därav pressar kassaflödet ytterligare på kort sikt.

VinFast hävdar i sin senaste rapport att bara 6% av levererade bilarna numera går till relaterade parter (GreenSM). Alltså 94% är bilar sålda på riktigt. Men även den siffran är jag tveksam till. Exempelvis ska Xe Nhanh, ett transportbolag, köpa 3000 VinFast-bilar. Dessa ska användas av GreenSMs förare som taxi. Kommer dessa 3000 bilar räknas som en del av försäljningen till relaterade partner? Hur många sådana upplägg finns idag? Vad ingick inte i dessa "6%"? Detta är dock spekulativt från min sida, kan ha helt fel.

En möjlig teori jag har är att VinFast blivit ett så stort prestigeprojekt för Vuong och Vietnam att man kommer göra allt man kan för att få det att lyckas. Bara tanken att kineserna skulle lyckas med elbilar men inte vietnameserna är nog för att göra detta till en nationell angelägenhet. GreenSM är ett verktyg på vägen.

Slutsats: Jag har ingen aning hur hållbart GreenSM och VinFast är men de går inte att ignorera. Det jag däremot är säker på är att detta kommer innebära kraftigt subventionerade (av GreenSM/Vuong) taxiresor för oss svenskar, ett störande moment för Uber i Sverige och en katastrof för traditionella svenska taxibolag.

The Midterm is Not the Endterm

It is too soon to calibrate the direction of the post midterm Democratic and Republican Parties.

But if the first 72 hours are any indication—and despite the soon to be Speaker’s denials—the Left is already bragging about subpoenas, and it is intoxicated by the notion of investigations and impeachments.

Heady Democrats have entirely forgotten the politically suicidal fashion of the 2021-4 five civil and criminal courtroom circuses, the Mar-a-Lago raid, and the blue state deballoting efforts.

All that and more fueled the Trump recovery.

Wild talk of multi-trillion-dollar new agendas grows, like socializing the health care system, a renewed Green New Deal, student loan forgiveness, and illegal alien amnesties, along with new punitive income and estate regulations and taxes.

This socialist dream is reminiscent of the 2021 giddy splurging that gave the country a 9.1% inflation rate by midterm year 2022.

Along with the Afghanistan disaster (the Left’s correction for a Middle East ‘forever war”) the inflation would ensure Biden a 40% popularity.

The idea that the Left, which cannot do much real lawmaking without a veto-proof Congress, will try to reach deals with the White House, adopt a 1995 Clinton-like realist agenda, simply claim credit for the growing Trump economy, or moderate its rhetoric is highly unlikely.

Instead, we hear crazy talk of confiscations, new billionaire and millionaire punitive taxes, imprisonments, changing the Constitution—all in full suicidal 1972 McGovern style.

Republicans are blame-gaming each other, which can be constructive if over issues and reforms rather than social media ad hominem. But they need to message far better, about both the administration’s successes and the dangers of a socialist future.

There will be likely be no planned presidential succession, or gentlemanly agreement on a front runner. That’s likely good news. More likely as of now a triangular race between front-runners De Santis, Rubio, and Vance emerges—all of whom are far preferable to any ticket with a Newsom, Harris, AOC, Mamdani, or el-Sayed.

If the Republicans can stay reasonably united, they can ensure permanent presidential vetoes of crazy leftwing legislation, fight back on the Democratic committee inquisitions, and see the economy in the final two years become an asset in recovering their popularity.

Absent in all conversations is that there is increasing evidence that the economy is actually expanding and has the potential to boom in 2027, or at least the data indicate such potential.

The jobs report came out yesterday with a stunning 165,000 jobs created in October (accompanied by the usual journalists’ adverb “unexpectantly”), dropping unemployment to 4.1%.

Revised 3rd GDP stats now show a robust 3.4% growth—likely ensuring at least 3%+ growth for the year.

Third Quarter consumer spending soared 3.8%.

Private domestic investment surged with 19.4% growth.

Just reported last week: median family income in 2025 hit a new record ($87,460)—the highest in 60 years adjusted for inflation. And poverty dipped to its lowest rate (ever 10.2%).

In October manufacturing activity grew faster than at any time in the past five years.

Yes, prices are too high, and final 2026 inflation, given gas hikes, is scheduled to increase by one point (3.7%) from last year’s (2.7%). But it is still lower than the pan-European average (ca. 4+%)—and much lower than the Biden average over four years of 5.1%.

Gas prices are already falling. On November 6 prices fell to a $4.06 average—as global oil transit is mostly back to prewar levels and refineries scramble to handle the increased deliveries.

U.S. companies are dominating all the top 10 rankings in market capitalization/usage in key area such as software, AI, digital media, space, satellite launches, and bio/genetic engineering.

Note that today gas prices are not that much higher than 4 years ago at the 2022 midterm time ($4.06 vs. ca. $3.80), and haven’t once spiked to $5 a gallon as they did in 2022, just four months before the Biden midterms.

Yet oddly, the red wave sputtered in 2022 when the U.S. was in far worse economic shape than this week when the blue wave became a tsunami.

Messaging, media, and communication count, so note:

Four years ago GDP growth was lower than today—even though the pandemic was about over and there was a dramatic return to work and spending.

The inflation rate was almost three times higher in 2022 than now.

Median family income was $14,000 lower than now. The poverty rate was higher in 2022.

The Dow was 20,000 points lower. Foreign investment will likely end the year 30-40% higher than in 2022.

Real wage growth (nominal wages minus inflation) while not great in 2026 is likely to end the year far better than in 2022 (when real wage growth fell 2-3%).

So why would “affordability” have been decisive in the 2026 midterms when it was not in 2022?

The 21% aggregate inflation rate Trump inherited force-multiplied the average 3.15% Trump inflation rate of 2025-6— yet in a way the aggregate first-term Trump inflation rate (7.7% just a third of the Biden total) did not exaggerate all that much the 9.1% inflation rate in 2022.

Messaging, however, matters. The administration did not explain adequately that a 21% rise in prices cannot be lowered without radical deflation or recession, but only ameliorated by medium family income growth and lowering the inflation rate from the Biden 2021-5 averages, both of which occurred in 2025-6, but were forgotten.

Media coverage of the Biden 2022 weak economy were muted, while Trump’s 2-year inflation rate was exaggerated during 2026.

The Iran war became the culprit as a war of choice that made the inherited Biden 21% high prices and the inability to lower were them solely Trump’s fault. Again, there was inadequate explanation of either the economic reality or why the gamble to denuclearize Iran was defensible–with the caveat that stopping the bombing at day 38 and talking with theocrats for seven months was an unfortunate mistake.

The domestic and foreign policy activism of the lame-duck Clinton (1998-2000} and Obama (2014-2016) presidencies increased after their loss of Congress. Indeed, their popularity climbed from a once nadir of below forty to sixty percent approval or above.

There is no reason why the Trump administration cannot have a successful last two years. The economy is growing.

The crime rate is at historic lows.

The border is closed shut. The radical pro-Western political transformation of South and Central America has remade the entire Western Hemisphere.

European NATO is rearming.

Oil and gas production is at highest levels of any nation in history.

The bloated federal work force has been trimmed by over 270,000 jobs.

There is no longer a 40,000-50,000 shortfall in military recruitment. The forced reforms in higher education were long overdue.

The verdict on Iran is still out.

If it is denuclearized, the crippling sanctions continued, the Strait kept open, the provincial opposition armed—and our military gone home— the regime will face an increasingly restive population

2026 was an unequivocal defeat, but 2028 need not be.

If the administration and Congress stay disciplined and united, and can message better, while the Left goes utterly berserk, drunk on their midterm successes, socialism/Islamism, and Trump Derangement Syndrome 2.0, the tide will soon radically turn— as the economy already has.

Politicians promise their climate plans will make everyone richer. Then families get the bill.

We need honest accounting: the costs, the benefits, and the trade-offs, as climate policies compete against many other worthy policies.
