Actually, in Norway there is some outrage. Many people with (a lot of) money move to Switzerland. There is also the issue that startups are being taxed on "paper money" — the value of the firm on paper based on expected future income — even though they have not yet started earning money.


From what I can find, the top wealth tax rate in Norway is about 1.1%. That seems pretty dumb to leave your home country to avoid paying 1.1% tax per year. For entrepreneurs that now have enormous equity (100s of millions of Euros), my sympathy is low. They can easy sell a tiny fraction of their equity to investors to pay the wealth tax.


Europe definitely needs to find replacements for the USA as a trusted partner. The US now supports Russia in its war against Ukraine, imposes random tariffs, pressures European companies over DEI (I'm not particularly woke myself, but I think equal opportunities regardless of race, for example, is a good idea), and makes threats against Greenland, Canada and Iceland. It also puts pressure on free speech and EU digital rules: the US imposed visa bans on former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, an architect of the Digital Services Act, and four anti-disinformation activists, and I believe it also had his Microsoft email disabled. Add to that climate denial, the war on science, threats to leave NATO, antivax etc. I believe many countries will unfortunately turn to China, since even China is more predictable than the US.


> The US now supports Russia in its war against Ukraine

Let's be serious. If the US supported Russia in its war against Ukraine, there would be no Ukraine now.


So now you don't get any hits from "Hacker News" ? :-)


Do you believe this ? Even if the Americans get out of their zombie existence and get out to vote (on another candidate), I cannot imagine Trump will accept an election loss. (A reminder: The US has had a 24% drop in the Liberal Democracy Index score in just one year and your supreme court is owned)


>The US has had a 24% drop in the Liberal Democracy Index score

Yet another index detached from objective measures.

>your supreme court is owned

The same court that declined to take up Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election?


>The same court that declined to take up Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election?

Yes, that same court. It's incredible how rapidly the legal system has eroded in the US.


So you think SCOTUS should have entertained Trump's frivolous claims?


Long answer. You are a boot other ?


I'm not sure what you mean, but all the publications are non-profit organizations—none of which I am affiliated with.

Lapham's and The Conversation also don't have any paywalls, though Nautilus does have a soft paywall of two articles a month (this is comparable to the magazines mentioned by other users in this discussion, with similarly fairly relaxed or stricter paywalls).

With Android, you can at least enable "Install [insecure] apps from 3. parties" or the like. You can then install whatever you like. Just like on most computers. Remember to disable the option after install .
