The problem with America in the first place is that the rich are making too much at the cost of everyone else's health. Our food standards are low as hell. You can get a 5lb pack of chicken for like 2 dollars. That shit isn't right. That is symptomatic of a world in which only corporations can afford to compete, while the majority is pushed into being workers for them. It's modern day slavery.
The price of meat is triple to quadruple in Norway, compared to the USA.
Norwegians who live close to the Swedish border (where meat is 1/2 to 1/3 the price), enjoy a much lower cost of living. Plus meat isn't the only thing expensive.
Never thought I'd hear anyone ever complain that the price of meat is too low.....
Those that live in Bergen or in the west, meanwhile, will easily have double the grocery bill compared to someone living close to the Swedish border. Equality my ass.
Work ethic is non-existent in Norway. Nobody takes pride in their work. What a way to build a nation. Using imported labour so no Norwegian will ever again have to carry a hammer. As soon as I got to Canada, I got a job in the trades. I have no friends in the trades in Norway. They're mostly clerks or unemployed/retired (yes, retired with pension in their 20's/30's). Some have phony jobs where they pretend to be important all day. Protected by unions so they don't actually have to work. They just go to the office to hangout and socialize. Bang the hammer around. Sweep the floors that are already clean. If Norway didn't have that oil, they'd have to make up for it with work ethic like the Swedes do. It's also a prime example of how under communism or socialism you have no motivation to actually produce. No aspirations beyond being a clerk. Path of least resistance through life, is what most Norwegians opt for. -

The price of meat is low because we literally ship it in from China. That was signed off on by Donald Trump.
None of what you say really matters. That 3k average disposable income does. That's why they are one of the happiest countries in the world, and we are ranked with 3rd world nations. All you care about is how rich the rich can get, and not how happy and healthy people are. -

The happiness poll is a bullshit statistic like most statistics are. Skewed. Countries have a different definition of happiness linguistically. In Norway, they're mostly content. Which is good. But that's all there is to life.
The real problem is that Norway "enables" all this behavior by economically supporting it. No motivation. -

Mhm, right... Motivation is what we need. Not healthcare and a humane standard of living -

They made their money with oil, they got filthy rich by having a government operated firm to manage that money and turn a profit. Norway just has 5 million people in it's jurisdiction. So when you have a bunch of money and few people, you can spend a bunch on your people and not go broke or at least have some money left to spend on "roads" or whatever you think governments spend money on. -
