Is tech more expensive in Sweden than in America? I often see prices in youtube videos and threads and then it's 50% more expensive or something here in Sweden.

I was trying to find a laptop for taking notes but they're all worth two months worth of salary. It is bullshit.

US prices often don't include VAT so they appear to be lower than they actually are.

Trump actually did something about that. It's part of why international shipping rates went up, other than lockdowns fucking up the supply chains. He threatened to break the entire shipping agreement so everyone agreed to renegotiate the rates.
>The US planned to pull out of the treaty a year after the initial announcement unless UPU members agreed to revisions. In September 2019, the Universal Postal Union convened a meeting and hammered out a deal. The organization’s members agreed to rate changes. In return, the United States agreed to remain in the UPU. International shippers breathed a sigh of relief.

And tariffs. The US excluded a bunch of computer and electronics components from tariffs, but Trump increased the types of goods subject to tariffs (made in China) in 2019.
