Planet cancer.
Investing is a parasitic colonial practice adding the opposite of value, at any cost to the environment therefore society.
LESS = MORE

A split vote is democracy at a higher level during crisis. Perfectly normal.

Here's another 'fun' fact. Norwegian graduates leave university owing a lot of debt even though there are no tuition fees. So much for 'free education' in Norway. 🥴

Fleire har høgare studiegjeld viser ny rapport frå Lånekassa
Høg inflasjon og ein ekstra månad med studiestøtte gjer at studielånet har auka, meiner privatøkonom Hallgeir Kvadsheim.

BS. It's just a blip in the chronic (>20 years) weakening trend of the NOK. Norway is a resource-poor petrostate on the periphery. A humanitarian crisis without imports. Nothing to invest in in Norway. Hence its oil fund parasitising foreign economies for financial capital of no economic value.

They've been closing down healthcare facilities in remote areas, including the north, for years. Patients have to travel long distances for treatment. It increases suffering and the probability of dying. The scheme you refer to is new, but there are very few good job opportunities in these areas. 🥴

It needs to be controlled. Globalisation. It's parasitising foreign economies, including the US's. It adds no economic value, not even to Norway's economy. It's a parasitic colonial practice but unable to take foreign assets (wealth) back to Norway. Norway's run by economically illiterate clowns.

Norway's economic might? It's disproportionate financial capital from oil is worthless without an economy and natural capital to convert it to something useful. Norway remains the poorest nation in Europe. It's going to become clear if war escalates and Norway's imports stop. Stoltenberg's a clown.

These researchers - funded by a petrostate - seem to be inferring an awful lot from estimates based on incomplete body mass indices. A polar bear population recovering from decades of trophy hunting and most likely suffering with pollution-induced inflammation could equally explain the observations.

Given the conflicts of interest - Norway's a petrostate - this research needs to be confirmed independently.

If government support doesn't make the most efficient heat pump systems affordable to consumers it's not fit for purpose. It's proven simple technology and should be cheaper than a replacement gas boiler. A shallow learning curve for installers. A tragedy it's allowed to be abused by profiteers.

Why is there's a small population in Norway? Why did Norway bypass all major periods of human progress in European history, from the Renaissances, Enlightenment, Scientific and Industrial revolutions? What transferable culture originated in Norway?
It's a resource-poor backwater.

Heat pumps are great for space and water heating. But it's partly true, it can be a 'lifestyle choice'. Heat pump technology isn't much more complicated than a kitchen fridge engineered to operate in reverse. Yet prices demanded for the most efficient systems are not affordable for most people.

Pensions and other social programmes in Norway are funded primarily by taxes. The oil fund has very little economic value. It's just financial capital, which has no inherent value without other forms of capital to convert it into wealth. It adds very little value to Norway's extractive economy. 🤷♂️

Norway is a resource-poor petrostate with insufficient natural capital to exist without importing almost everything it needs. Officially one of the least self-sufficient countries in the world, due to its unfortunate geography (lack of arable land*) and miserable climate. Poor by default. Fact.🤷♂️

Deregulation at any cost to society requires very few experts. Mostly just morons with heroin dealer-like ethics. And proud of the harm they've caused.
I was expecting to see something comparable generally, with PhDs leaving the US, but, apparently, not any change. Too few opportunities elsewhere?

Trump could treat Norwegian oligarchs like Russian oligarchs and seize all US-based assets Norway has parasitised. Sovereign wealth (oil) funds depend on neoliberalism and globalisation to make financial capital without adding economic value through investing, a parasitic colonial practice.

Not until he's touched Denmark, Norway and Sweden? Managed badly, this organised divesting could be viewed as an economic attack on the US. An act of war. Trump could seize all US-based assets bought by parasitic Scandinavian oligarchs and offer Putin the Scandinavian peninsula.

Why do you defend neoliberalism when Norway follows it but criticise it when Britain follows it? Norway has a big oil fund because Norway is a resource-poor petrostate with a primitive extractive economy therefore nothing to invest oil money in in Norway. How does its oil fund improve its economy?
