Well, based on non-extensive online research they have what`s called a neutral tax. In effect since 1996. Oil & gas exports taxed at 78%. First payout in 1996 to Norway`s government pension fund was 1.9 trillion. Wow. Most informative article I read was a comparison between Australia & Norway`s tax
Insightful, articulate and with first-hand knowledge of the subject.
I don`t think they care if it`s true or not. Looks like they`re using the story for click-bait. Just to make a buck. How dishonest, crass and disrespectful.
The continent proved "resilient" and the governments were forced to "reform". What a fucking euphemism for genocide. Fuck the wapo.
Sounds cool. Would love to be there. Have fun & be safe.

Some comments are saying this decision is pre trump but even so still an odd thing to do. It certainly sounds like something this regime would do though.
“Team Trump flew up from Palm Beach after a morning in which they beclowned themselves once again at the initial ‘Shield of the Americas’ meeting with Latin leaders, where POTUS threatened Cuba as being next in his march across the globe. War has become a game to them.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcas
People have different ideas of what sin is. Denominations vary widely on gay and women`s rights. It`s more institutional than individual. If there is not freedom for all then it is not real.
Always amazes me how they totally ignore the New Testament Jesus and find some Old Testament quote to justify their bigotry and misogyny.
To be Christian means to follow Jesus of the New Testament The New Testament and the Old Testament have major differences in teaching. He clearly stated the differences. And there is no bigotry, ignorance or misogyny in his words. Some people twist religion to suit themselves.
My goddaughter for a while was musical director at a small Presbyterian church & I attended during that time to be supportive & encouraging. Pastor was a woman and most of congregation were old hippies. Very welcoming. Most not so much. A lot are just awful. Nothing to do with Jesus
Hmm? Maybe he needs an excuse to declare an emergency. And will use it to expand his power, target his enemies and interfere in the elections. That sounds familiar doesn`t it? Wonder who else in history did that?
Americans don`t know squat apparently. You`re right on all counts. His purge sounds a lot like Stalin`s disappearing people. He is dangerous & will resort to using violence to stay in power. So far congress & the courts have been little help. I find it hard to be sanguine about the elections.
Not only first-hand knowledge of what he speaks but elegantly written as well.
Republicans have sold their soul (if they ever had one) and the Dems need better leadership. I know they can`t do anything legally without having the votes to do it. But more progressive voices are needed and a more robust response than some of the tepid replies we`ve seen lately.
Me neither but reports are circulating online that it`s true. Taking those claims with a grain of salt until verified but so far that seems to be the case. Sure to be civilian casualties of some sort. Not likely to get much coverage from our increasingly useless media.
Yeah, it feels weird agreeing with something she said. And you`re exactly right as to his reasoning and legacy. Not only has he escaped accountability for far too long he continues to commit new atrocities unabated. Is this the public`s breaking point for the corruption that allows that?
This regime is a cabal of sociopaths and pathological liars. Assigning motive and causes for every dysfunctional aspect would yield enough data to fill several books. It seems at times this nightmare will never end. I pray it ends with accountability for every evil act these monsters have done.
My preferred way to experience inclement weather is to see it on tv. I bet it`s beautiful though. Stay warm.
"It is good for both the soul and the soldier to remember what we are fighting for, and what we can become when we work together and rise above our differences."
When this regime goes down like the flaming pile of buffalo dung that it is many of his enablers will no doubt go on some disingenuous PR rehabilitation campaign. Don`t buy it. Those traitors need to have this shame follow them the rest of their lives.
