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
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.

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)

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

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.
