If you don’t understand what that large number means it is the savings account of the entire country thanks to the oil boom. No one in Norway has to ever worry about money, assuming the government continues doing their job correctly.
Unlike Alberta, where I’m from, the people individually reaped the profits of the oil boom and we have fuck all to show for it. People spent the money on fancy toys like trucks. Those guys who used to make 300k a year, majority are broke now.
Canada could have been the richest nation on the planet if we socialized our natural resource profits. We were in the same boat as Norway but only they came out rich, what do you think is the main difference?
I’ve lived there and will be permenantly relocating there. I guess I will be joining team Finland but I still disagree that I am “team left”.
To me it sounds like you’ve just never personally experienced socialism working.
