@cathsb011@Knutingsen Rikdom og makt ble skjevt fordelt til fordel for Danmark og København, mens Norge leverte en stor del av ressursene og skatteinntektene.
@cathsb011@Knutingsen Uttrykket var ikke helt uten grunnlag. Norge mistet mye av sin politiske selvstendighet, særlig etter reformasjonen. Det norske riksrådet ble oppløst, og dansk ble det dominerende skriftspråket.
Norge var underordnet politisk og administrativt, og mistet betydelige verdier.
@JaraySzabolcs@EtsyPottery123@YourAnonNews There is no well-documented evidence that Ursula K. Le Guin directly criticized Elon Musk, but there is a strong indirect ideological contrast. Le Guin often criticized hierarchy, exploitation, militarism, and the idea that technological progress alone creates a better society.
@LinusEkenstam Working longer does not necessarily make an economy more productive. Labour productivity (GDP per working hour) in 2025: Ireland $164.7, Luxembourg $159.5, Norway $125.6, Singapore $100.4, Denmark $92.2, Sweden $83.9, USA $81.8, Canada $69.8, Japan $52.7, China $20.6, India $10.8
@bwwillett63@JoelTheDane The United States does not have a rational need to attack its NATO allies. Negotiated military access achieves the security objective at a far lower political, legal, and strategic cost.
@MRLP_22@TXMCtrades@XFreeze You don't have a duty to explain yourself. You can choose not to justify personal decisions, boundaries, relationships, whereabouts, or feelings.
@BarbE67970462@LinusEkenstam Type 1 diabetes: Sweden is among the countries with the highest incidence in children and young people.
Type 2 diabetes: Sweden's rate is generally lower than in countries such as the United States, where obesity and type 2 diabetes are more common.
@_RoyalWitCheese@LinusEkenstam Employees pay municipal income tax, averaging about 32%. An additional 20% state tax applies only to the portion of taxable income above roughly SEK 643,000 per year. So the highest marginal rate is around 52%, but it does not apply to the person’s entire income.
@AphanFX@LinusEkenstam Dude. Other countries treat childhood cancer and provide fertility-preservation services. European cancer organizations report hundreds of thousands of childhood-cancer survivors, including people who later have children. U.S. healthcare is generally not affordable for everyone.
@y42gswj@LinusEkenstam Most employees mainly pay municipal income tax, averaging about 32%. An additional 20% state tax applies only to the portion of taxable income above roughly SEK 643,000 per year. So the highest marginal rate is around 52%, but it does not apply to your entire income.
@JohnSmitha0ddw@McFaul@POTUS America has a lot of idiots, and idiots tend to find each other. When a group shares poor information or weak reasoning, members can reinforce one another through groupthink, making the collective judgment worse than any individual's.
@RngPhantom@Microinteracti1 EU members: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
Proof that they can become members.
For the other countries, it is a combination of incomplete reforms, corruption, political conflicts, and a lengthy accession process.
@crazzyleggs11@profstonge It is a capitalist mixed economy with a large welfare state. Sweden has a serious and unusually visible gang-shooting problem for Europe, but the United States has a much higher overall rate of lethal violence per capita.
