What is the rate of patent production in Sweden? What have the Swedes invented lately besides the Volva, Saab and Abba?

You mean like nanotechnology, biotech research, genetic engineering, graphene processor research, high efficiency solar panels and a multirole fighter jet that does not need AWACS support that is fully capable of competing with the bug-ridden US F-35 that couldn't even pass the date line a few years ago without BSODing? No, whats that? :P

As you know, the US can't buy their scientists forever.


I would like to say that that is a joke, but unfortunately, we have lots of problems keeping people here. Europe and US is a popular destination for inventors. Swedish companies are greedy f*****s who do not want to pay inventors anything, that also "helps".

Even more amusing is that lots of Chinese students go to the US and to Europe for higher studies.


These universities would run out of money without these foreign students.


Except in some countries like here in Sweden, universities are funded by taxes. All you have to pay for is living costs and litterature.
