"Sweden now has the deepest capital markets in Europe"
Fascinating piece in FT on the integration of stock ownership into Swedish culture. Some key highlights and comments:

No Greta. Sthlm Uni should not cut all ties w Israeli academia or any academia. You seem to have gotten the idea about unis wrong, which might be explained by you not attending one and instead trolling on a new topic every week.

Word, with one addition, most younger people aren’t. The Paris leadership politicized the referendum to only get the “angry (in this case often older) minority” to the ballots.
7% voter turnout, ~100k people, which is actually 4x smaller than the average monthly active user
Paris votes to ban e-scooters. Boggles my mind. Traffic is terrible, there are 7,900 premature deaths per year in the city from the toxic air.
Why are urban citizens willing to tolerate huge steel polluting cars that clog streets, and take up prime real estate in parking bays?
