#SwedenvsUSA #swish - Komedie
Still find it mindblowing that americans dont have Swish or Bank id
Yea, my country is pretty great😎
Sverige e best
don't they have the app: CashApp?
I taught that most of the world had Swish.
@@emojilove4429 Me too!
Its so simple, easy and safe.
Maby its too sociolistic to work in the US
It's sad that most of the people watching these videos is swedish people, because it only pops up in the swedish peoples recommended page.
I'm from Denmark and there's only videos about Sweden in my recommended
*Hi, American here :D*
I am from sweden and i think that denmark should be annexed by sweden🇸🇪⚔️🇩🇰

No

Without Swish life is not possible here.

pffff I live without swish and I hate phones, so life is possible without it :D

Not only the aluminium cans, you get money for the plastic "pet" bottles
Kempa Swe bra poäng kempa
Its called "panta" not fanta pretty similar
" Get" you mean someone paid for it first and then either they threw it away or they got back the money via panta. Why companies want you to "Panta" is because they earn on it because they just make a new one out of the old one.
Panta meeeeerrraaaa
Panta mera och du far rea! (portugisisk mobil XD!)
Good with the "5 thing" limit. Otherwise it would be a 24 hour show.
1) everything. lol
true tho

So true haha

You can recycle the plastic bottles for money as well. Aluminum cans are not exclusive
Cruzer yup
Actually you get your money back.
@@SimpleManSweden Not if I find bottles or have them given to me. Saying you get money back when recycling a bottle only describes one scenario when in fact you can make money on recycling them. But maybe you are just not that bright yet confident enough to try and correct me.
@@cruzer6571
I know because I live in Sweden bro.
But you are telling me that you are going to search in rubbish and ask people to give you their bottles.
I don't think so.
Yes you can find a lot but you need a whole day to collect a lot of bottles.
@@cruzer6571 are you going to steal the bottles from our poorest population?
Rip swedish people going to USA to find out you can't panta there...

I find it extra funny when Swedish people loose it... 😁
OMG. I remember that. I visited the USA in 2006 and every time I asked about the price of whatever, it was "x dollars and x cents + tax" and nobody knew how much the tax was. Sooo annoying.
It is better to add the tax later since the customer can see the theft. In Sweden we have a general 25% sales tax baked in the price.
@@gunnarsjolander6171 Eftersom du är svensk skriver jag detta på svenska. Sales tax är vad amerikanerna har. Det engelska ordet för "vår" moms är "Value added tax" eller VAT.
@@tommiejonsson8952 mmm men skit som skit. Så du vill hellre ha moms då eller vad menar du?
@@gunnarsjolander6171 Vill och vill. Det är så det är här. Jag har aldrig sett momsen som en stöld eftersom den är inräknad i priset.

Sweden have bank id and swish
America have guns for sale and liqour in all stores

I was also confused xD
I’m not even Swedish or American but Sweden sounded like a good place to live in.
It's really nice here!
Anonymocha it’s a great country to live in but it’s depressing at the same time, my opinion
It is trust me!
Trust me it is, it's actually pretty warm in the summers xd
Swedish areas in Sweden yes. Arab areas in Sweden noz
Americas taxes: lets make this a unbareable thing to do!
Sweden: lets make this like cutting though a melon with a sword
That's because the government doesn't want you to have time enough to realise how high the taxes are, that a normal Swede pays more than 100 000 kr (more than $10 000) in annual income tax 😝
@@iflax7460 Only 62%? Did you include the sales tax (moms)?
Sweden have a lot of taxes :(
@@paldennorbu8808 All beacuse of the one and only, Gustav Vasa.
This makes us the Melon Lords.
When eating out with my friends - to make it easier for the employee we all SWISH one of us and that person pays for all.
I love doing this. In the US many credit cards will give you points for each dollar spent. So I will pay the whole amount using my card to get flying points and everyone else would Venmo (like Swish) me their part.
I was visiting New York in July and saw that most plastic beverage bottles there had a 10 cent refund. Just didn't saw any refund/recycle stations anywhere...
Also. Your student loans does not affect your credit, and If you have a hard time and have a low income you can just tell them that and you will be given a break on the payments. (If you earn more than you say they will know from your taxes and you will have to pay larger amounts on your payment plan).
Det visste jag inte
...and part of the money is actually not a loan at all. Sweden actually pays you to study AND gives you these beneficial loan on top of that.
Tapio 86 yeah you can take CSN loans if you’re going to study further more after gymnasiet (collage). It’s optional and it’s only a small amount of money compared to the actual cost that the government spends on each individual to get an education.
we have this place called retuna in the town eskilstuna (about 1.5 hours from stockholm) that is a mall with only second hand items 😊 it’s super cool and definitely something everyone should visit at least once!
Eskilstuna yess där jag bor 😎😎😎
One other reason that the bills in Sweden is different sizes (bigger value= bigger bills) is in the past criminals bleached the smaller value bills and reprint a higher value on that bill, (the paper is impossible to buy) nowadays u can’t do this.

You: 5 things sweden does better than America
Swedes: Bruh we do everything better than USA
Thank you very much for another great video, Andy! I'm an American of Swedish ancestry myself and my older brother has been living in Sweden for many years. Many of his experiences from living in Sweden, seem very similar to yours. I have a lot of family in Sweden and I we went there every other summer during my childhood. :-)
I find it fascinating how the main counter argument to implementing all of these great benefits is that the US is too big compared to Sweden to do this effectivle. Then again, isn't that exactly what the US Prides itself on? Being bigger...doing things bigger 🤔
Yes, that and the warning-screams that socialism and communism will kill us all. If socialism or atleast Sweden's version of socialism is so crazy bad as Americas republicans say we would have imploded decades ago. And just for the record, Sweden have never been run by communists and the coms we have is kind of nice, not like Russia or China.
@Rico Ten we pay as good as the same amount in salary taxes.
ONE if the reasons I've promoted this theory is because I have a Master's degree in Economics, and ALL of my professors said that the type of government utilized in Scandinavia is highly- effective, BUT would NOT work in Murica as Sweden (fir example) is much smaller in population and MUCH MORE homogeneous. Maybe my professors were full of 💩, but that's what I was taught. Also, wouldn't it be easier to manage a zoo, let's say, that's 500 square feet and has two or three types of animals versus a zoo that's a MILLION sq feet and has three dozen types of animals and 30 times as many?! While it may be an awkward metaphor, I still think it works as it illustrates that there's much more room for errors and problems.
@Rico Ten The US actually has a more dense population. Sweden has 23/km2 (59.6/sq mi) while the US has 87/sq mi (33.6/km2) so, what's your excuse again?
@@veronicaue180 Yep. We like doing things bigger. Including wages, even though we, high earners in particular, get taxed out of a good chunk of it.
Great video!! 👍
The intro-clip for ”5. Public Transport” made me laugh and cry sooo hard!! 🤣
and sweden isn't that good public transport, but when again usa doesn't found how to make money of that yet.
Loved this presentation . You have also adjusted very well to the Swedish way... thx and see you next time😀
Robert Joelsson thanks 🙏
1) about education, how did you forget that the government pay us to go to school?
2) you don't recycle bottles in stores?!
3) love your interior. gotta say it's a very swedish interior.
Andrew you're videos are awesome keep up the hard work
jamaal daily thanks for the kind words
The healthcare works better here. I was in a hospital for 13 days and I paid about 10$ per day including food, blood test and medicine.
I was in the hospital for 8 days. Restaurant quality food. 3 magnetic scans, monthly iv treatment. And some other doctors stuff on that. It cost me 110 dollars for all that in a year.... And Americans hate that... Why
2 years ago I was in hospital for months. Paid next to nothing. Perfect service.
As long as you don't die from cancer during the long queues.

Awesome Andrew. Have an amazing Thursday, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
Offgrid.se thanks for going on the grid to comment ;)
7:15 lol i forgot about that video, thanks for showing it!
I'm still so confounded by the fact that price tags in the US doesn't show the price already -including- the tax cost, I've later come to understand that it's got a lot to do with different taxes in different states as well as I guess the taxes fluctuating from state to state, and therefore it's difficult for a brand and/or store-chain to sell them at the same price everywhere in the US. I'm not sure if that's really all there is to it but I'd downright feel like I was getting robbed if I were to grab something that said "This costs $19.99" only to get to the checkout and find out it's actually something like $22.40
Btw when you were talking about the iluminum bottles you can also resycle plastic bottles there and in some shops there is even a buton to send it to good deads companys like röda korstet or canser fondern.

Interesting! I maybe also should comment a few rows about your video.
I’ve been in the U.S (MI) for 2 years, while some of my family have been here since 90s, and some relatives since 70s.
I always tell my family about Sweden, the laws, the system etc, until it started to irritate them 😅.
I’m so lucky that I lived and grew up in a country like Sweden 🇸🇪 I have so much love for this country and wish I could go back and live there one day.
Peace ✌️
I've lived in Sweden my whole life and i didn't even know money had different sizes
Well you are just a big idiot then xD
/o_o/ \o_o\ you probably knew but didn’t pay attention to it
It just wierd if they had
Coins have different sizes for the same reason. I can tell a 20 from a 50 without looking
Skojar du!
When I was a student I used the money I earned from recycling bottles to pay for food xD Not much (maybe 200 kr minus 50) but anything is good ^^
Interesting, thanks for sharing
Well done👌 Regarding the cashless system, you’re getting so used to it I am having troubles adapt when I go abroad 😅 Its really nice to monitor everything from your phone really, from parking the car to paying at the restaurant or even paying the tax and all your bills 👍

about the recycling bottles for cash, there's this new thing as well where certain plastic bags (like the ones you find used as packaging for bread) can also now be registered through a certain service that will recycle it and give you cash, like with bottles.
I think this is a great way to get people to be more careful about what they do with the packaging and to reduce litter. Even if someone litter, someone else would pick it up to recycle it for some extra cash
Great video Andrew. I finally moved to Stockholm in December and it's been a great experience. Keep these up as they are really great for Americans who will or want to expatriate :)
One thing i'd like to maybe see is how you've experienced discrimination by certain companies that deal with stocks and mutual funds as they largely don't serve people with american citizens. Have you thought about renouncing your citizenship?

First off: USA is like comparing EU. Different states are as different as the nations we got here. Not sure what part of US you lived in so it would be more interesting to get a bit details on that instead of simple flaming.
That pic of Trump is perfect haha. I feel fortunate to live in the United States but I wish it was easier for me to move to Sweden. The thought of public transportation and being able to have a job with no car is amazing. Overall, Sweden seems like a better quality of life. Also I really liked the candy.
Yeah, public transport is awesome here. To get to work I have a bus line that leaves every 3 minutes and tram lines that leave every 5 minutes on top of that. It's actually much more convenient than taking the car.

Reason 6: Sweden isn't trying to instigate wars, unlike the US...
Kind of ironic that when we elect a president that IS getting us out of the endless war business everyone in Europe calls him a NAZI. What's up with that?
@@phredpun4225 that's because Europeans got a non corrupted view on it, kinda funny u think trump is trying to get peace when he litterly broke a fucking "non nuke" agreement. He also ignores climate change etc. Did you know that other world leaders laughed st him when he told them that he has made America greater. Thought so, American presidents in general never tell the full truth but trump us doing it more than anyone before him, cant belive yall can even trust him.
@@saftslukare5093 I think Trump's an idiot, at the same time, he honestly ain't that bad.
I don't see any other US president being better. And no, Europeans definetly have an influenced view, by the media we get.
@@user-wq9mw2xz3j true, difference being that atleast in Sweden the things they tell us ain't lies and you can always look upp cons and pros about everything, unlike in America where it's kinda ok for presidents to lie n shit like that, abt trump being a terrible president, it's not only European countries that think that its acctual world leaders, there was this fn meeting when trump starded with "I've made America greater" and the world leaders basically laughed at him and I dibt think I need to say anything else, bottom line is trump is a terrible president who got people behind him that are good at preparing speeches for him that make it seem like hes actually doing something good.
@@phredpun4225 u got owned with that "but dude, muh shitty Iran deal! something something other stuff not on the topic of wars" reply.
So much negativity in Sweden right now about our society. glad I stumbled upon this video to get some positive perspective. Although Sweden has, in my opinion, gone to shit over the last 15 - 20 years+ not everything IS that bad relatively speaking and that's easy to forget.
Well, yes things has gone to shit BUT we still live better than most other "well-developed" countries såatteehhh :D

For every point, I thought:
Wait, all countries don't have this?
Thanks for a great video! Everything you mentioned I as a swede just take for granted, as like it's supposed to be.
The thing about needing a car greatly comes down to where in sweden you live. If you live on the countryside, you will need a car in Sweden too. (And by countryside Im not talking about 40 minutes from Stockholm inner city! 😂)
Saw this video on a reaction video👍🏻
The are pros and cons with both systems when it comes to doing your tax and sales tax. It is easier here yes, but at the same time you don't have as much freedom to deduct stuff as I understand people have it the US. And to hide the sales tax in the total price is also easier, but it also makes you forget that you are being taxed.
Yet another thoughtful video. what 5 things do you think USA does better than Sweden.?

Quite simply the usa has nothing to offer once you've compared it to Sweden. Absolutely nothing.
8:52 yeah I know what you mean, there's a real lack of high speed trains that go to Stockholm in the US. It's a real shame
Nice choices and good descriptions! :) If you study to be a doctor or other long educations it can be up to about 30000 usd. I studied for 3 years and ended up with about 16000 usd. It should be payed by 65 years of age and the monthly (yearly) payments are calculated from that. If someone wants to study at university while living with parents it can be a low student loan (if the parents don't charge rent).
In my school we collected pant so we could do something fun at the end of the year. We got almost
5 000kr just from pant. 👍🏼

Instead of working on better relationships with alies. Seriously this USA nr 1 obsession will be the country's end one day
Damn, I take these everyday stuff for granted here in Sweden.
Fantastisk video!!
bankid can be used as means for identification when dealing with authority or other services. in Malmö they are now start to changing the busses to electric busses and it easy to go anywere in the city. usally the go every 7, 10, 20 minutes. in the summer we have summer card that cost less than a card every month and it last 2 months and you can go to nice places in whole skane wich is much.
Regarding transportation I find it strange that almost no railways in USA are electric. That means transports by trains or lorries both run on diesel and aren't environmental friendly.
Here in Sweden railways have been electric for ages.
I know the first electric train that passed through my hometown was in 1955...
Yes there is public transportation run off of electricity. Hardly anyone uses a train. Trams, majority of subways in the US, the Elevated train in Chicago, among others is run off of electricity. Dont forget about San Francisco's cable car network.
IngeNaning2 we do need to invest more in our train system
sweden isn't very good ehiter on that point, if you take rest of europe in consideration.

We have same things here in Finland - basic stuff :)
Tbh I think Finland has a better system than Sweden.
It's not exactly a "Swedish" thing, its called Nordic economy or Scandinavian Socialism. We all tend to do what the neighbor does. Sweden and Norway sticks out, in a good way, (in this region) when it comes to helping people in need, which is good of course (and a lot more like US has been for long). But other than that we are much the same.
@@corresandberg It is not socialism just a modern welfare nation (or state). Most European countries have similar systems, more or less. In the US, the distinction between socialism and liberalism often does not seem to be known.
Yep but swish is a Swedish invention, think bankid too.
@@kristerforsman2448 Yes...And Denmark has Mobilepay and NemId, Norway has Vipps and BankID. Same same but different. This shows that something similar should be possible to implement in the US.
Omg Lidköping!! I’m from AL studying in Skövde!

Public transport is great in the bigger cities and between cities, but if you live out in a small area outside of the city you might only be able to take the bus every 2 hours between 7 and 20 and only in the weekdays
My boyfriend totally enjoyed sending this to me hahaha 😂❣️ I love You honey 💓
Well, what can I say, I love my country.
Vem älskar inte sverige?
another thing about our recycling - if you buy things in the store, for example a milkcarton, it says how to recycle the product on it, for example the lid is plastic and the rest is recycled in cardboard
Holy shit you looked familiar. Then you said Linköping lol I may or may not have seen you. Have a great day dude!
Right back at you Broham!
Geesh, that map is terrible. Even in the "better" states, the rate of poverty encompasses over a quarter of students. I didn't realize poverty was so rampant here in the U. S.
how do you recycle aluminium cans in usa?
There’s a lot of private businesses in the south that buy aluminum because they can buy it for a fraction of the value and sell it to other bigger recyclers. It’s common in poor areas especially since it’s easy money for little effort and aluminum cans are used by everyone.
We crush and save the cans and take once or twice a year to a local place. I think the last time we got $30 for them.
In Umeå, we have public trashcans with a sort of open cylinder on the side where you can slide down your bottles and cans so that workers or people i need don't have to dig in the trash for them ^^ Umeå is a student city and is working on being VERY environmental
En umebo hallå 😊 Vi är från samma stad.
The public transport in Stockholm is runned by SL (Stockholm Public Transport Authoroty). They drive 7 metro lines, 5 commuter train lines, 2 tram lines, 4 light rail lines and 526 bus lines in an area with about 2 000 000 inhabitants.
Adding the sales tax at the counter is crazy
No it's not. The Federal government tax is already added into the price of everything. What's tricky is there is also state, county, city, alcohol, and sin tax.
Alcohol tax in TN is a whopping 15%, there is a sin tax of 7%, and sales tax is 7%. 30% of the price of Jack Daniel's is just tax. Florida alcohol tax is 1%, there is no sin tax, and sales tax is 6%. Only 7% of the price of Jack Daniel's is tax. All of the states in the US have different taxes. Companies would have to make multiple ads to show the price of a product in your area. Newspapers and magazines couldn't be sold across the US because the advertisements for products would be wrong. The tax system in the US is complex, and everyone wants their cut out of your money.
True Jessica. We have 50 states and all have different sales tax, city and county also add in their percentage.
Jessica Ely , that’s exactly why it would be good for the consumer to see the actual cost on the shelf. The store obviously knows the total, there is no reason not to put it up. As for advertisements and national campaigns those could just say $14+tax.
@@mockupguy3577 that takes way way way way way way way way way way way way way to much time. A business gets an entire semi full of products and 2-3 people have to put the stuff on the shelf or put it away in the stores back room. I don't nor does majority of Americans want to have extra employees. if a business has extra employees the product on the shelf is going to be a little more expensive. The entire country isn't going to change because tourists are to damn lazy to look up tax on the shelf. It really isn't that difficult. Produce, dairy, and meat isn't charged sales tax. Everything else is. You add all the products up then multiply by what ever the sales tax is. So for Miami if the bill is $100 you multiply that by 7%. This equal 7, so you need to add an extra $7. I've lived in Europe for 3 years and I really don't care which way it's done. I'm not lazy.
@@jessicaely2521 Sorry, what is a "sin tax"? is it what I think it is? Like literally taxing sinners
This is why I live in Sweden.
Interesting comparisons between Sweden and USA!
Not every shop has Swish as method of payment. Smaller shops typically do, but I've yet to see a larger store do (City Gross does allow payments with Klarna though, which means you pay a bill at a later time). Also, not everyone one has Swish (though anyone can technically get Swish, they just need to link a mobile number to their bank account. You don't need a smartphone to be able to receive Swish payments, but you need it to make them)
I agree with you in all, but did you realky say that we don't have homeless people in Sweden?
Well most of the beggars are not Swedish citizens so I believe that he didn't count them to it.
Love Billenius homeless are homeless despite their origin.
We just don't see them as they do in the US
Loren Denisse Arriagada I did not include them in the numbers. Most of our homeless are veterans
We do not actually, compared to the US we really don't have that problem
5, things, more like 50 things.
Something else thats worth noting about #3 Education that I think i missed a bit.
If you persue an education on a University level, the student loan can get high, well above $5000, but its still not even close to that of the USA, ive heard ppl having student dept upward of $80,000...?
Also, the professions that get you deep in dept, also have a rather high sallery right of the bat.
(cba spell check atm)
I had no idea that you are working for Lurkit! Need any Product Manager/Owners? :)
Don’t US have Swish???? I thought that it was a US company... 😂
Pfft, no. It's made by the Swedish banks
@@ZhadTheRad Ohhh...
När han missar tåget hahaha!
K-k-o-o *KOMMUNISM ÄR JAG*
Also larger bills are always bigger than the smaller ones because then you cannot wash the ink away from small bills and use then to print fake larger ones on official paper. That used to be a huge problem with US dollar counterfeiting at one point.
There's also a very big city in sweden called Göteborg and that city is very famous for they're puplic transportation that is like busses but they are electric and uses rails instead they are called spårvagnar
1-5, we don't have Trump.
Är Röfven något att hänga i julgranen då? Hade hellre haft Trump.
It’s not spelled 5 things, it’s spelled everything
You don't have to pay everything back that you loan when you go to collage. You can either choose to get about 823 kronor (about 87 usd) per week that you don't have to pay back, that option is good if you still live at home and you don't need to pay for rent and food, or if you need more because you need to pay for rent and food etc you can choose to get about 2715 kronor (about 285 usd) per week. But you will need to pay that extra 1892 kronor (198 usd) back, but as Andrew said you have like 50 years to do so.
they have another app for cash transfer in the United States, it's called cash app but it's connected to creditcard..
