Worth noting that most of the time oil (newly discovered natural resources really)makes a country poorer than richer. See Venezuela and such.

So good on Norway to not give in to unbridled corruption and out that money on a public fund to make its own citizen wealthy

If this was some one off case yes, I would agree with you. But since the sample is big enough that it affects statistical data for a very broad segment of the population, I think he might have a point. Or let’s keep the head in the sand, and then cry about why Trump is going to win every next election.

You also provided only empirical evidence (mine are fine therefore it’s everyone else fault). Not the best kind of proof.

Here is a video that highlights some of the problems. It’s two years old and still relevant: https://youtu.be/rQv8VuLpKN4

Maybe I’m reading it wrong, but it’s a one way ticket?

Thank you for proving his point

While it’s just a major, it’s not “just” a mayor. It’s the major of one of the most important city in the US.

And this is why I’ll never get the islamophobes. The fight should be against extremist religious views, be it Christian, Muslim Hindu or whatever. And argument can be made than nowadays the majority or extremist views and sect are Muslim, but this that religion in itself is not a problem more than other and it’s not set in stone

And a clock, and a weather forecast, and a picture frame…

A screen has a lot of potential. But not if it works against your interests

He also served in the British army as an officer. The same one that tried to destroy the US in his lifetime. Think of that too

They probably asked AI for a thumbnail, and since there was the word sodium, they decided to use the kitchen as a background.

AI amazing as always

The ones this people buy: https://share.google/PWnmursuqNxjrfSSl

If they are not buying some sodium battery producers, you can bet that somehow those batteries will not be “ready for the market” yet

For me, at least in Italy, I think it was the third or fourth? But once we learned, we never had to sing it again. My kids in the US high school are still saying the pledge of allegiance to this day

Done daily, done to children, part of the education framework, for a lot of teachers is not optional… This just on the top of my head

If trump would give a shit, which he doesnt

That the entire entourage is so stupid actually, or that they know the senate and Congress are too spineless to do anything at all

They don’t usually cross mined zones and people shooting at them. Unless the country of origin is a lot worse

Uncle Tom is not racism, is an apt description

Let me introduce a new gang in town: Evangelicals. A pure breed of hypocrisy, racism and cruel capitalism. The original followers of supply-side jesus

Dont forget the H1B ones. To hire (at half salary) a foreigner, by law they need to prove that the job cannot be done by a US employee. So they post a fake opening, with those “entry level 15 years experience in afield that existed 10 years” to justify the hiring

If only they tried to join in good faith…
