Most countries are not spending more than 3% of their GDP on infrastructure every year as far as I know. Not for the stuff actually covered by this at least.

It might be a net decrease in defence spending for some countries, but then there’s the argument that infrastructure spending is indeed defence spending.

It does. Literally all infrastructure spending can be used against the 5% spending goal.

That’s how they got it through, Trump got a bigger number to boast about, NATO countries got to include all infrastructure so that there isn’t really that much of an increase above the 2% spending goal.

I agree, especially considering how much the government is hollowing out a mountain for Nasjonalbiblioteket. There’s no way you’d need that much space just for storing some books.

That would explain why the town has so many people employed by the government.

Nevermind, I looked into this. It is some unofficial measuring station and not an official station (which the one at Røssvoll is)

The measuring station in question is at the Mo i Rana airport, which is at Røssvoll, not Storforshei.

As someone from the village of Røssvoll who’s biggest enemy is Storforshei I am very offended by this misattribution! There’s almost 3 whole km between these two places!

Also tfw the first time my random small area of middle of nowhere Norway is mentioned is when I’m dying from overheating.

A can of carbonated water with a shot of vodka in it.

Just as much flavour as a typical flavoured carbonated water too

Hey I’m not saying we shouldn’t have inheritance tax.

Did people read the article? He’s been doing sperm donation for 15+ years, and wants to leave his inheritance to also be split with the kids that have come from sperm donation. Isn’t this a good thing?

It’s not like he’s personally impregnated women for 100+ children. Which it seems to be what the comments here are reacting to?

Not saying this billionaire is a saint or anything, but it really doesn’t look like people here are reading past the headline…
