while not quantifying how much suspicion one mind can encapsulate (without exploding), this reeks of damage limitation.

and if this is the limitation, it boggles the mind how much damage there is that we're being kept in the dark and fed horseshit about.

consumer confidence cannot be allowed to fail...

(got to let us down as gently as possible, given the circumstances)

the sheer pettiness of some of the sums was a clue too, by the law of inverse spin, that means they don't dare begin to really quantify the tsunami coming.

This spring we have seen in Sweden: One scandal about huge bonuses in banks (while crying out for the state to save them), followed by a scandal about bonuses state-owned companies as the current government decided last summer that bonuses were great, evolving to a scandal about unioun leaders - despite seats on company boards - not doing enough to stop bonuses. Last phase lasted longest.

And then these last weeks there were revelations about union waste and spending just days before the company leaders published a statement about the need to lower salaries. Except for their own of course.

I think it is very deliberate timing.

Of course, if the union leaders in question had not used those board seats to line their pockets or not had been wasting their members on themselves they would have been in a stronger position. Who knew that luxury had a downside?
