Dutch and living in the US. If a screenshot of this gets to the frontpage...meh.
Yup, I think you got it!
Yeah, sure, announce it to the world. What could go wrong?
Why am I thinking AI?
Remarkable. It's almost like ... maybe... people lied about that?
How do they deal with different daylight savings times in Europe and America? Do they have two sets of stones?
Good morning Panko!
I like how they worked Stargate in there.
Ooooohhhhhh
#7 That is a remarkably eclectic mix of Thors
We should tell them our parents are out of the house.
I am sure he'll be very happy and tired when he gets back.
No idea. But they are on the low end of the tax scale.
Wouldn't do you any good unless you also replace all politicians.
Can you imagine the politicians who came up with that? We should put them in charge of the world.

The operative word being 'should'. Norway was smart about it and put the oil&gas proceeds in an investment fund and only withdraws the profits from that fund. The US let the rich people get richer.
Actually Norway was smart about it. They took all the oil and gas money and put it in an investment fund. And they only take out the profits from that fund. As long as the investments stay solid, this could last them forever.
Norway is only an exception in that 25% of it's nation's budget comes from oil and gas proceeds. That helps a lot.
Anywhere from 10% (Bulgaria) to 60% (Denmark). Norway is fairly low and provides a lot to it citizens. Norway provides a lot to its citizens, but 25% of that budget is from past oil and gas proceeds.
I wouldn't hold up the US as an example to anybody. Or maybe as an example of how NOT to do things.
Well, somebody had to do it. If the ball doesn't hit the target....move the target.
Hmmm...delicious crystals.
That's nice. But Norway's economy leans heavily on proceeds from the oil industry. Not really representative for other countries.
Good morning lame Panko!
Two heads are better than one, right? Right? RIGHT?
You need to get your cat to take you to the ER.
This is exactly why I would leave my easter chocolate bunnies in the car!
Duck, duck, MOOSE!
