In Stockholm, rent-controlled flats are allocated based on waiting time, and the waiting times for the most attractive flats keep growing as lots of people keep waiting. Out of ~160,000 people who had waited for 12 years or more in 2021, 89% are still waiting 5 years later. 5.1K views · 73 likes · 1 reposts · 7 replies Open on X →

Pippin is heir to the Thain of the Shire and Merry is heir to the Master of Buckland, so top 0.1%. It’s a bit odd given Tolkien’s ethos that “small hands…move the wheels of the world…because they must”. Not so small in Shire terms. https://t.co/1swVgR93iG

@StefanFSchubert 99.9%+? Scions of the ruling noble families IIRC. Bagginses would be 99-99.9%, Sam the actual commoner. 972 views · 24 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@StefanFSchubert Pippin is basically the crown prince of the Shire, Merry the crown prince of Buckland (so he was technically a foreigner). 926 views · 31 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →
