The article is misleading, and well propaganda. The official national statistical institute of Norway tracks wealth tax revenues per year. From 2022 to 2023, revenues moderately increased from around NOK 26 billion to NOK 29 billion.

Hahah, I slipped down that rabbit hole about 2 years ago. We needed network access for testing devices on one of our production lines, but the manufacture did not allow wifi at the time. So we ended up tunneling over UART to access internal
