I'd also also be wary of the risk of being an architecture-astronaut. A declarative framework for testing may make sense in some cases, but in many cases it will just be a complicated way of scripting something you use once or twice. A

Maybe, but now you are pushing opinions, not facts. I am pretty sure that you will not see a negative correlation between tax and GDP, just look at that list. And maybe the politicians and tax officers in Denmark are people that got there b

Sweden actually has a higher rate of billionaires than USA (and Norway). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_... Not that that has to be a good thing though...

The idea behind subsidising re-education is that it benefits the society in the long run. I guess I have no proof that it isn't what makes Scandinavian GDP/capita lower.

That is only Norway. Maybe a little bit of Denmark, but Denmark is not considered an oil economy. And I don't know what you mean with "captive tax base" but Norway just piles up the wealth they are too afraid to use it since

You don't need a huge navy to battle Russia. It's navy is pretty small (they don't even have a functioning aircraft carrier) and there is anyway a land connection between Europe and Russia. For fighters I don't think 5th

Yeah I guess the great depression was one of the reasons for WWII and USA had a stake in that. My objection was just about bringing numerology into the discussion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerology

Yes but the cause was not American. And USA was pretty reluctant to be dragged in (not Roosevelt but the voters). I am just pointing out that you can make up any list in hindsight and make it look like Nostradamus prophecies. Where is frenc

by fifilura 2y ago
Feels like cherry-picking. WWII had very little to do with America in the sense that the American involvement was only a reaction to others messing things up. While the other two are purely American.

Ok, thanks! That was a wide variety, and what you'd probably call a regular coffee mug here in Sweden. But that is information too, that there is no true tall British tea mug.

What does a typical British "Tall, mug-shaped teacup" look like? Genuinely curious, since I can only think about tea party with the Queen with some delicate china when I think of brits drinking tea. And I don't like small&#x2

Jakt is the Swedish (and Norwegian) word for hunt. Deerhunt = Hjortjakt Boar hunt = vildsvinsjakt And the most common and revered... Moose hunt = älgjakt

Yeah, I see farmers here in Europe as one of the most educated groups. They need to be educated in politics and economy in order to navigate all regulations and subsidies.

Or subsidies or funding R&D? Tariffs are a trade disabler, so in general a loose-loose proposition.
