@evan Great news. It seems unfair for the article to say that Sweden was the first EU state to recognize Palestine in 2014, however, when e.g. Romania has had bilateral relations since before 1988, and been an EU member since 2007. Sweden was the first Western European state to do so.

@evan I was “somewhat agree”, only because I think it’s still an open question whether social media in general makes me happy. Maybe it serves an overall beneficial purpose beyond just happiness. I _am_ happy to be here, though!

@freemo @scottsantens I think you’re saying the same thing, that if people are given money without any strings attached then they will not start working but use that money for nefarious purposes.
