Sweden Now Has Net Emigration

To the "Guardian's" disgust, democracy is functioning in Sweden as even the Swedes learn about diminishing marginal returns.

Since the 1930s, Sweden has been highly influential around the world as the country with the most competent leftist initiatives, the mirror image of, say, this century’s incompetently leftist Venezuela. The Swedes, being smart, logical, public-spirited, and slightly cold-blooded about their altruistic urges, have pioneered all sorts of progressive policies that were greeted for generations by American conservatives with predictions that this time, Sweden is doomed for sure.

But Sweden hasn’t collapsed.

On the other hand, Sweden and its neighbor Denmark diverged around 2001 on mass immigration policy, with Denmark taking the world lead in coming up with intelligent ways to restrict and ameliorate immigration.
