Its fine to spend money on infrastructure but not if the plans depend entirely on a banana republic behaving responsibly. It's ok, we've only waited three decades for the electrification of Trønderbanen - we'll be happy to wait a few decades more until they figure it out (I know this is not how it works)

Baudolino posted:It is however an incredibly bad sign that oil and gas companies pay an ever increasing total percentage of all corporate tax year after year. And that we are losing one sucessful private enterprise after another to foreign interests. The closer we get to the end date of our oil and gas sector the less prepared we become. With a population growth of 0,6% and an increase of businesses that survive over 5 years are around 1,5% I'll say that it's not that hard to start a business here. So the decrease of corporate taxes as a part of our income is the main driver What we do need to do is renationalize crucial infrastructure and provide good jobs there - railways and energy infrastructure are two very good examples of this. If you run a business and you have 13 times your annual budget on hand you start investing. Most other western countries provide relatively equal services as us - but manage to do it without an enormous slush fund If we want to create good opportunities for businesses we need to provide some sort of competitive advantage, and gutting workers rights or race to the bottom with taxes are short sighted. What we can do is to ensure that the infrastructure is world class, that our work force is well educated, motivated and effective. Take Aker Verdal who builds multiple jackets for oil platforms internationally, and that's because Norwegian workers in general work more effectively and to a higher quality thanks to our relatively good education and working conditions Note: I'm not a macro economist, so even if I'm very interested in macro, I've only had time and money to take a bachelor degree in economics - so I can't model the effects

V. Illych L. posted:norway has for a very long time been an empirically good place to start a business. the issue, as i understand it, is that once you've started your business you need to basically be doing computer touching or resource extraction because you're uncompetitive on wages otherwise. so once the business is up and running, if it's one of those boring old-style shops that makes things to sell, it is almost always a good idea to either sell out or flag out. Are you talking about the export market here? Because that's going absolutely swimmingly now that the NOK has tanked And yeah, "flag out" is a really economically beneficial thing to do for the owners - not necessarily for the companies that still operate in Norway. I really don't think we need to placate people who wants the benefit of our generous gründer policies just to gently caress off to avoid paying taxes. I say let them leave and revise our system so that they can't exploit that loophole. Right now their getting both bag and sack Witzø wants to move? Let him, but cancel his quotas and redistribute them to local actors. Some poo poo heel welfare profiteer starts to move out? Ban for-profit welfare And yes, I know much of the things we should do is against EEC rules, but look to other countries and see how meaningless those rulings actually are quote:dutch disease https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/there-never-was-real-tulip-fever-180964915/

Don't take my word for this, but I remember reading that removing the Norwegian wealth tax would create 20,000 zero-tax payers. If these are the people who move away thanks to that tax, they aren't really necessary so gently caress them

The main reason I vote SV is because of this - if you're in the leadership of SV and gently caress up your harshest criticism won't be from the media or political opponents. You get 15,000 members who go "Jeg er ikke sint, bare veldig veldig skuffet" and your political career is over if you don't take responsibility. It's been that way since Berit Ås I'm not sure about all the rest of the parties, but I think Venstre also has a decent party culture where people are held accountable even if they're "good politicians" like serial sex abuser Trond "Gisse" Giske, has personal allies in the party like Huitfeld, or is good for elections like Solberg

My hatred for this disgusting ghoul is pure, undiluted Vantablack at this point. You do have the worst politicians in Scandinavia. Remember the law that made something legal from '68-'80? Or the 2005 ban that only happened because of tourism? IMO, the only thing you got going for you currently is LEGO land, Tivoli, cheese and Matilda milkshake. The rest is mid to outright bad (Yes, this is hyperbole as an emotional response to the racism)

Haven't dug into how B, F, Ø and Å have positioned themselves on the conflict in the past couple of weeks. Any disappointment awaiting me there? From my limited knowledge of Danish politics, I'd say yes. If there are any pro-Palestinians further to the right of the Social Democrats they're likely anti-semitic instead of anti-zionistic But I assume the worst about all Danish politicians so...

tbf to Giske, there have been a lot of girls entering politics these five last years he hasn't gotten to diddle yet "Fun" Fact: The open secret within youth politics during the mid-90s when Giske was leader of AUF, is that their central committee had an internal competition on who could bed the most members during their two-week summer camp edit: I'm happy with this page snipe

Afaik Transportstyrelsen does make the license plates and hand them over to PostNord to send them to Tesla, it's the PostNord workers that are refusing to deliver them to Tesla and PostNord aren't a government agency. PostNord AB is owned 60% by the Swedish state and 40% by the Danish state. Elektronikkbutikk Moskus can still get bent

Jack Trades posted:For example nurses are not legally allowed to strike which is why their working conditions are completely hosed and why something like 30-35% of them currently work outside of their profession. Isn't it like in Norway where they technically can have a limited strike until the government steps in and sends it to a National Wage Board (Lønnsnemnd) where they always favour the employer? Especially when the employer is the government. At least that's what happens every time nurses or teachers try to go on strike here

I agree - we should just start to say "gently caress the lønnsnemd" and keep on striking. It's useless when it always favours the employers no matter how unreasonable their offering is
