Norway anon is tired | TheaterFire

I live in Norway the part about windmill is stupid, Norway is 99% powered by hydro but one year we had a drought and the situation was starting to look bad, then it rained. So building windmills is a great idea. The rest is spot on.

The Norwegian wealth tax seem pretty well designed. Low rate. No stupid exemptions. Simple design. Coupled.with an exit tax.

Also you doesn't seem to have any inheritance tax. Hardly a punishing tax regime.

[-]

Alfred_Leonhart@reddit

No inheritance tax? Fuck it I’m moving to Norway. My kids are keeping what I give them.

you can set up trust funds like any responsible billionaires

I’m broke but I want to open up an American style burger joint. One day I’ll be a millionaire at least.

[-]

Spatulakoenig@reddit

Sell a few dozen burgers in Oslo and you'll be halfway there.

[-]

Dr_barfenstein@reddit

Do you want to adopt me?

[-]

Alfred_Leonhart@reddit

How do you feel about American Burgers. Not McDonald’s. I’m talking the good stuff. Local burger joint type deal.

[-]

LostToInertia@reddit

Bros doing his market research in a subreddit about 4chan green texts, bro is not gonna be a millionaire

[-]

Alfred_Leonhart@reddit

I’m a hustler I’ll make it I swear it. Lol

[-]

LostToInertia@reddit

Good luck to you

[-]

Alfred_Leonhart@reddit

Maybe. You like lord of the rings and your Australian. I like both of those, so you got that going for you.

[-]

Standard_Age5673@reddit

Frick off, we're full.

[-]

Alfred_Leonhart@reddit

I will bring American style burgers. The good kind. Not McDonald’s. The local Burger joint kind.

[-]

Standard_Age5673@reddit

I'd much prefer hashbrownes.

[-]

Alfred_Leonhart@reddit

You can get them on the side. Fries and Hash are both made from potatoes at the end of the day.

[-]

Standard_Age5673@reddit

I know. It's just that I've never found it in Norway. We're good on the burger front, really.

[-]

Alfred_Leonhart@reddit

Is there a lot of Americana burger joints in Norway?

[-]

Standard_Age5673@reddit

Yes. "Texas-style" BBQ jalapeno-cheddar double decker with chips and coleslaw.

Though it seems burgers are out of fashion at the moment.

[-]

Alfred_Leonhart@reddit

I was thinking something smaller and simpler. Regular cheese burgers. Just meat cheese and a bun. I’d make them for probably $9 with fries I believe that’s like 100 NOK. That’s all you need for a good burger. I’d sell local sodas. You know maybe I should do a food truck instead.

[-]

Standard_Age5673@reddit

Do a food truck.

[-]

Does it matter when every single line is a fact?

thermitethrowaway@reddit

Shhh, don't question people self socio-cucking themselves for the man.

[-]

Flat_Program8887@reddit

Didn't Norway used to be dirt poor before Sweden gifted them the islands with oil underneath?

Time for the nature to heal itself.

[-]

Glad_Fox_6818@reddit

To be fair, the last time I checked, every country on Earth had education worse than Finland

[-]

wantingtodieandmemes@reddit

Except for Finland, I guess

[-]

duva_@reddit

Are you Norway educated?

[-]

ValhallasRevenge@reddit

Norwegian here. Sadly this isn't fake and I am unsure if it's gay when it's the government fucking you.

[-]

RazorPulsar@reddit

Prime minister is a man 100% real and gay

[-]

ValhallasRevenge@reddit

Pretty sure it's not only him though, so wouldn't that make it a team effort on their behalf?

[-]

JennBones@reddit

Out of interest, is it a tax issue, extraneous geopolitical issue or a fundamental failing of government (or a combination of 2 or 3). I guess what I'm saying is globally there's been a major downturn due to less faith in the dollar and speculative investment falling, and I was under the impression that Norway had much higher taxes to pay for socialist systems. Also here in the UK it has been a trend to inflate GDP via largescale importation of immigrants which has slowly led to disfunctioning infrastructure that can't cope with the numbers.

[-]

Pineapple_Spenstar@reddit

Norway has a sovereign wealth fund that pays for much of their welfare. The government is just incompetent

[-]

Japan-is-a-good-band@reddit

Fake and bi or hiwever the population is defrauded

[-]

tiganisback@reddit

Come on, how does Norway have no plans for when oil and gas run out? You guys are running the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world

[-]

ValhallasRevenge@reddit

I have my fingers crossed that we just go back to raiding England.

[-]

Alfred_Leonhart@reddit

God I wish Harald Hardrada beat Harold Godwinson at Stamford Bridge. We could be conversing in a mutually intelligible language instead of the mutant son of broken French and archaic German that is the English language.

My tv licencense ran out last month, so i guess thats the next bet

[-]

ValhallasRevenge@reddit

It's too late to turn back now. I already packed my unregistered butter knives.

[-]

BoozeBus3000@reddit

We're getting raided by the same "certain people" that you are over here in England

[-]

Alfred_Leonhart@reddit

No it’s not gay it’s just pathetic. Like a delusional man who’s say he gets lots of pussy whenever that pussy is just paid for.

[-]

SyntheticDuckFlavour@reddit

No country is without their own problems, but comparatively speaking, you guys are pretty much closest thing to utopia. Minus the chronic seasonal affective disorder. You can keep that shit.

[-]

ValhallasRevenge@reddit

Sunset for me now is at 4pm, on the darkest day of the year I get five hours of day light in total. I have a feeling this might have something to do with it? As it's a complete 180 from the summer when the sun barely dips under the horizon.

I don't need to worry about that though, I love the darkness and my normal all year around depression keeps me company (:

[-]

ExperienceLow6810@reddit

Real and pansexual I guess

Must suck to live in one of the best-run countries on the planet

[-]

IGuessYourSubreddits@reddit

The Muslim thing doesn’t really make sense though. They tripled their crime rate for basically no reason?

[-]

Tontara@reddit

The crime rate in Norway has not really risen, it is just coming back to the same amount we had 20 years ago. Mostly because we stopped funding all the things that made the crime rate go down the last time.

[-]

ironykarl@reddit

Not commenting on that specific issue, but if you look around, you'll find that almost all of the governments you can find do a fair amount of irrational shit

[-]

suicide_forrest@reddit

Yes, gone to shit from top 5 to top 20 maybe? Not great, but could be far worse

[-]

Gullible-Box7637@reddit

I struggle to think of 5 countries more well run than norway

[-]

DeliriumRostelo@reddit

Singapore ?

[-]

Tontara@reddit

Singapore is giving everyone the impression of being well run because they have hidden the fact that 20 % of the population are more or less slaves.

[-]

andoesq@reddit

It's the best run city-state, but no large country can be held to that standard.

Plus Singaporean anons have the longest mandatory military service in the world, outside of Israel.

[-]

Gullible-Box7637@reddit

20% of the way there, i suppose its a start.

$360k per person sovereign wealth fund
"no plan for what to do when we run out of oil and gas"

bait used to be believable

[source]

[-]

James_SJ@reddit

Despite that, the Norwegian NOK is devaluing.
Due to not having anything other than oil and gas.

A lot of things in Norway are imported.

[-]

HugeCrab@reddit

The oil is traded in dollars so we kinda fucked ourselves there

[-]

mVargic@reddit

Take away all of Norway's oil and gas and they still have a GDP per capita higher than Sweden or Germany. It provides plenty of value besides oil and gas.

[-]

mVargic@reddit

Norway is the only country in the world that has actually properly prepared for oil and gas running out. Norway's sovereign wealth fund is now at over 2 trillion in value, 40 times higher than the country's government budget. At just 2.5% yield it can generate enough money to run the government without taxpayers pitching in a cent, and is 300% of the country's GDP. The massive US debt is 125% of the US's GDP and in the wealth fund Norway has the exact opposite but almost three times higher.

[-]

HugeCrab@reddit

Wealth tax mentioned, anon is a billionaire shill

[-]

Schneckmandias@reddit

Has enough hydro power for the next 1000 years Still decides to waste money on windmills

Has no plan for what to do when we run out of oil and gas

Did Anon actually read what they were typing?
