Like a Swede

So after watching a video produced by tcofilm I have been thinking about how boss it really would be to live like a Swede..... minus the cold and shit. Not only would we get longer and more frequent vacations, we would also benefit from a plethora of social programs and and food culture that  promotes better physical and mental health as a whole and sweet as fashion. I'm talking over-sized outerwear and super fucking chic street style. What is my favorite things about the Swedes you may ask.

Comprehensive healthcare is, in my opinion, the most important component to a healthy society( and most importantly, a healthy vagina). In Sweden, citizen have access to low cost(based on cost of living in the municipality you reside in) comprehensive healthcare.

Dental care is available to every citizen with children up to the age of twenty recieving free care and adults receiving a yearly subsidy

480 days paid parental leave with a bonus for parents who split this time evenly(approx. 6 months to each parent.)

Child allowance paid to parents up to the age of 16 and study allowance paid to full time students over the age of 16.

you can look at other aspects of Swedish social benefits at Work in Sweden.

For a look at amazing locally inspired Swedish food, Check out "Faviken." This in one of my favorite books by Swedish chef Magnus Nilsson and from my absolute favorite  book publisher Phaidon

So instead of being a lame ass dude trying to live like a boss, try getting involved in policy advocacy work so we can all live like a Swede.
