    What part of “children” did you not understand, those were generally born and raised Swedes. But more generally speaking: The appeal to individual responsibility is a cop-out. It’s literally the bootstrap argument. What are people to do when there’s no fucking bootstraps?

        What part of “not as embedded in the local social network” did you not understand? Am I speaking Klingon?

            You got terribly lost. Go back and re-read what I wrote. What did I say about the cousin who owned a repair shop? How many children of immigrants have that kind of connection into the local economy?
