Well i have changed my opinion on this. I'm campaigning for the UN to ban consumption of (most) meats. The current strategy for maximizing the utilons of livestock is for the governments immediately ban eating most meats, followed by subsidies so that corporations can care for the animals for the rest of their lives (or humanely kill them, if the former is impractical), and then to create new jobs for the livestock farmers and migrate them.

Campaign money spent by the parties at the last election

(V = Venstre, C = Konservative Folkeparti, A = Socialdemokratiet, I = Liberal Alliance, F = Socialistisk Folkeparti, O = Dansk Folkeparti, B = Radikale Venstre, Ã˜ = Enhedslisten)

Fraction of votes received per DKK spent:
Enhedslisten: 2,6 * 10^-8
Dansk Folkeparti: 1.43 * 10^-8
Radikale Venstre: 1.4 * 10^-8
Socialdemokratiet: 1.07 * 10^-8
Venstre: 8.44 * 10^-9
Socialistisk Folkeparti: 5.3 * 10^-9
Liberal Alliance: 2.7 * 10^-9
Konservative Folkeparti: 1.7 * 10^-9

Inversed, or in other words, the conservatives got 15 times as much money to spend on their election campaign as Enhedslisten per voter, and the right-wing bloc used 63.7% of the money, but received 48.6% of the votes.

Happy International Workers' Day. This was from Copenhagen, the weather was very nice (after getting a slight sunburn you could say it was literally reddening to be there).

Happy 1st May, a reddening experience again this year, joined Socialist Youth Front and Enhedslisten's event on NÃ¸rrebro

Speech happened
Internationale was sung

Elections are happening in June so

Enhedslisten made a movie for the election

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO43vTmjSRA

Seems like some ok points but also too social democratic for my taste. Over the past few years it has just been sucking up more and more social democrats who are unsatisfied with the government, which brings the ugly risk of diluting the party program and is probably already in process. But in any case the only party it makes sense to support in the elections...

This is outrageous, and has just been going on year after year. I was very lucky that I got a place to live as student in Copenhagen, but for these kind of reasons I also felt like I had to pick the first option that seemed at all payable.
There are also many stories of students coming from Jutland staying at people they know in Copenhagen for months or sleeping in college (not allowed) or in empty buildings and buildings under construction.

http://universitypost.dk/article/international-student-half-all-housing-ads-copenhagen-are-scams

The state should take control of the housing market and put an end to all the scamming and ridiculous pricing. Random individuals shouldn't become rich simply for being lucky enough to own some apartments at the right time, that they don't even need to use. This is so stupid. And build more new cheap apartments, it can't be that hard, just price them so the money is earned back within some decades.

Today I went to the canteen for coffee, as I had only got about 2 hours of sleep. I had bought a coffee card that would give me the 10th cup for free. When I came there, they said "we don't use that anymore". It was the >old company< that used to run the canteen, but they stopped before the summer vacation, so I threw it into the trash bin.

rip in pieces bank account of people who used to buy this drug whose price just increased by 55 times after a hedge fund manager took over the old company making it. Once again revealing the absurdity of capitalism, where you can get rewarded just for taking over some company and making life harder for some patients. People like these shouldn't be rewarded, they should be in jail.
