The entire population of Norway fits in Queens and Brooklyn. If everyone there decided to whittle spoons we'd be midly concerned about just what got in their water, but it won't be an existential crisis for the rest of us.
I will never understand people who use tiny European countries as meaningful comparisons to continent sized ones.
- kulahan 1y agoIt helps people understand scale, since there is only one other kinda similar economic machine, and it's China. The EU is too loosely coordinated to really compare. The population of Queens and Brooklyn is one of the most densely populated areas on the planet. I will never understand people who use massively outlier-sized cities as meaningful comparisons to nations.
