I think for this sort of discussion you need to look at per capita production in the linked chart.
- relaxing 7y agoUS per capita production is 1/10th that of Norway. I would gladly take 1/10th the paid leave given in the article (164 days), which GP failed to notice was for oil-less Finland anyway.
- keanzu 7y agoProduction only tells half the story. To figure out how much surplus you have for social engineering you need: surplus = production - consumption The US was a net importer of oil up until September 2019. There's almost no surplus.
- robocat 7y agoThat’s equivalent of someone saying they can’t afford time off for kids because they already spend all their money... when it turns out they just don’t want to give up some luxuries: it’s just setting priorities. Here’s some economic comparisons: https://countryeconomy.com/countries/compare/finland/usa https://countryeconomy.com/countries/compare/finland/usa GDP per capita Finland 49,738$ US 65,462$ Average Wage Finland 52,890$ US 54,951$ Debt Per Capita Finland 29,624$ US 65,545$ Annual Vehicles / 1,000 p. Finland 23.68 US 53.85 CO2 Tons per capita Finland 8.80 US 16.14 Also Finland has a similar population to Oregon - although it would be more fun to compare it against say Texas for purposes of oil production and the point being made!
