Re:Sweden clears snow-covered walkways before roads (2018) on Friday January 21, 2022 @09:36AM (#30024019)
I can't find the info your referring to in your links. The walkways and bikelanes _are_ prioritized (at least over common roads). This is done with a model based on different criterias for different types of roads. The biggest roads (trafikled) are prioritized with the least amount of snow - if enough snow (cm) gathers (over the criteria in the table below) they are forced to clear it. Then the walkways (trottoar/gångbana) and bikelanes (cykelbana). Then the regular streets/smaller roads (vägar/gator).

The trafikled can probably most similarly be described as a highway, even though we drive on them in the city as well (in lower speed)

With the amount of cars that naturally clear the snow on these highways, it also makes it even more common that in practice the walkways gets prioritized first, as in the article states happened last year.

Trafikleder: Blötsnö/modd 1 cm Lös snö 2 cm

Trottoarer, gång- och cykelbanor: Blötsnö/modd 1-1,5 cm Lös snö 2-3 cm

Vägar/gator (körbana): Blötsnö/modd 2-2,5 cm Lös snö 4-5 cm [1]

I live in Stockholm.

You should really watch the clip again before you get behind Trump on this one. He definitely refers to mexican immigrants as rapists, although of course "some, I assume, are good people". I'm surprised by the amount of people trying to play semantic games with what Trump is saying in general, the sentiment is clear to everyone. Trying to deconstruct it in hindsight to his favor is.. pointless.

Argue however you want about that you should be able to express your opinions, but please stop trying to sugar-coat Trump. His rethoric is toxic, it's marginalizing minorities and it's affecting how it is to live as a part of a minority and it shows, not only, from the hate crimes rates.
