Not disagreeing with you, but Norway is the way it is because it sells oil and it has been enough revenue over the years to provide for it’s citizens. Many countries can’t follow this model.

Stimulus checks caused one of the best stock booms of this decade then immediately we had inflation. I don’t think stimulus checks are a well understood phenomenon
This is the comment. News like this propagates the way it’s supposed to on social media without enough people pointing out this happens time and time again
I think that sentiment is the same why people ask why there aren’t more Linux user’s. Some people just don’t bother.
Would have picked Los Angeles over New Orleans
Is this a play for vice presidency? Or, maybe hoping to be in the Trump cabinet?
Check the news cycle. Something like this pops up every once in a while and nothing ever happens. No one wants this passed, they just wait till we forget about it.
Chris Christie is running again? Poor guy likes getting punched in the stomach.
I understand something like a GMC Suburban or a Cadillac Escalade, but the Porsche Macan (in article thumbnail) and many other compact SUVs take up the same curb space and about the same weight and length as a standard sedan.
vs
Unless they put weighted meters at every parking space, would be interesting to see how they enforce this. Compact-SUVs are useful and are well equipped for their weight (AWD, safety features, space-efficient).
Here is a cool chart showing weight vs road wear. Not sure how scientific it is, but shows cars around 4000lbs are considered normal wear.
Unless the goal is to move drivers to the subcompact-sedan form factor.
Then they could make low cost parking spaces ~170" long and any cars that do not fit in that would have to go in the bigger spaces with a higher rate. Very curious how they would implement it without costing the tax payer too much.
When he leaves California, he will leave his salary too (and possibly his industry too)

Dusty thanks for the feedback. Clearly a lot of people are upset at the comment I made. As a person with several friends in Israel, I felt this article wasnt doing the people justice.
This is a social forum. It’s made for comments? You don’t have to care what I think and I’m fine with being wrong, but I hope you aren’t on Lemmy just for an echo chamber.

Not commenting on the actual crisis going on but who cares what the American Jews think? They aren’t in Israel and have never lived a day over there. It’s almost like American Irish giving their opinion of Brexit. Yes we know what is going on is wrong, but the audience voicing their opinion barely has more relevance than the average person. It must be exhausting on boths sides to have foreigners voice their opinions on what is an actual war zone right now.
Mastodon has went through a similar bump, but more recently has had some larger figures begin usage (local government broadcasts, b-level ‘thought-leaders’/‘influencers’, etc). In order to get to the next level, lemmy needs to show it can survive test of time and is worth the effort to establish an online profile. For example, reddit has corporate organizations creating and maintaining subreddits which act as an avenue for community engagement. Having active community engagement leads to advertisement, which can be a double edged sword, but useful if pursuing ‘growth’ metrics. I’m not sure what the lemmy devs (or it’s users) have planned for this.
Lol oh jeez. Do you have a source? The original article didn’t mention anything and a bunch of other news sources are just copy-paste the same information.
I wonder what tipped authorities off that there was some form of spectrum surveillance. AFAIK you don’t need a license or government approval to receive RF spectral data in almost all countries. I wonder if the actor was also transmitting as well.
This article is talking about Colombia, so I thought you were comparing Norway to Colombia. It would be interesting to see the Nordic model applied to the US. There are 370m Americans vs 5m Norwegians but our government budget per capita could theoretically be closer
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_government_budget_per_capita
Norway has a budget of $36k to spend per citizen and the US $20k. Say we raised our possible budget to $36k I wonder what impact that would make. $16k x 370m Americana would be ~$6b dollars. Looks like annual spend on US Medicare is $808b, so we couldn’t even offer free healthcare. It seems like the US would need to be ground up rebuilt.
