⚡️ Storm “Amy” was crashing electricity prices last weekend

Quick note: News was recorded during the weekend 🫶

Here’s what’s happening: 
✅ Saturday: SE4 (southern Götaland) has the lowest price in Sweden ✅ Strong winds will spin turbines in southern Sweden and south of us ✅ Average price around zero for the day, with some 15-minute slots going negative on Nord Pool ✅ Nationwide daily average: just a few öre per kWh 
📅 Similar patterns: Sep 21 and Aug 5. On Jun 29, Sweden even had a negative daily average (exchange price). 
⚠️ Important: your bill won’t be zero. Tax, VAT, supplier mark-ups and grid fees add well over 1 SEK/kWh on top of the exchange price

🚨 PR stunt or smart idea?
 Pressbyrån launched a fake “union” to push moving Cinnamon Bun Day from weekend to weekday and then said they’d celebrate on Friday instead.

It was a campaign… but many bakeries agree: when the day falls on a weekend, they lose big workplace orders.

Facts from the industry:
 ✅ 63% ate a bun on Oct 4 last year ✅ 42% were treated by their employer ✅ The official date has been Oct 4 since 1999 (in the calendar since 2004) ✅ This year it was Saturday, Oct 4, 2025 ✅ Around 60% enjoy at least one bun, about 7 million sold

Would you shift it to a weekday so offices keep the bun tradition?

🚭 Should teachers be allowed to snus at school?
 Sweden’s Public Health Agency wants this reviewed as part of a plan where students also wouldn’t be allowed to use nicotine during school time (including those over 18). The goal: de-normalize use in school environments.

📈 Youth snus use is rising fast since “white snus” launched in 2016. 
16% of 9th graders now snus (5% in 2017). 29% of upper-secondary students snus. Biggest jump among girls: from 4% to 26% in about a decade.

🧠 FHM warns: nicotine can raise the risk of starting to smoke, and the young brain is sensitive to it. Known risks exist in pregnancy for traditional snus.

🏭 Industry says snus helps reduce smoking but research cited by FHM finds no scientific proof for that. FHM credits decades of anti-smoking work instead.
 🟡 The government hasn’t announced a decision yet.

What’s your view: include teachers in a ban, or keep it to students only?
