  3. They have been doing exploration 2-3 years for now, quite big news locally, but at a very early stage yet and not generally know throughout the country, except among those especially interested. There is also a very big potential source of special metals in Telemark/Skien region one are looking into.

  4. Yes, one can save some money crossing the border to a country with lower prices, IF one are focused and got a good plan...Many does not, and end up spending just as much, if not more as at home..When things are at a good price one often end up buying stuff one othervise would not buy, and buy more than needed, because it is 'so cheap'.

  5. It's shocking, in Norway building roads,building and running schools, univeristies, hospitals is not free, the users have to pay for those things via taxes. Sad.

  7. Taxes is also part of controlling inflation. Norway could lower taxes, uisng more of the oil money, and people would had more money to spend. This would created new problems that again would hit back on the peolpe, to a more or less degeee. More infaltion, less money for newer generations that will have more and more older people to feed and so on. It's a fine balance to keep a stable economy and a stable good standard of living. The country is wealthy, but the main part of the wealth is kept and controlled by the State, not let to be up to the man in the street to control

  8. Most people can't handle too much money, will vaste it in no time and inflation would skyrocket.Handing out the state's money to the people would been really stupid

  11. Norway could connect to the Euro currency to avoid this currency loss, but the country feels better off not to.Yes, loss of the Norwegian currency is bad in some cases, like with foregin workers in Norway, Norwegians on vacation in other counties, higer prices of import goods. But one have to look at the whole picture. The currency loss is not a indication of things going bad in the Norwegian economy. A main reason for the loss is large income from oil and gas, and much of that money being invested abroad, in combination with NOK being a small curency so can easily change value.

  12. Paying a symbolic amount of 20 euro or whatever, 200, is 'free' compared to paying 25000 for a knee surgy. Yeah, all is terrible, one can't never get things good enough, no matter what

  13. LOL

  15. No hypocrisy, but realism. Sorry. Those other countries are mainly the EU, which also discourage use of fossil fuel in their countires. The reality is that going fossil fuel free can not happen overnight, but will be a stepdown action over many years as non fuel energy is being built, which demands a lot of time and money.

  16. Possible not more freedom. One of the most free and safe countries of the world

  17. Yeah it's really terrible to decide going to the cabin at the sea or at cabin at the mountain. It's the same struggle every weekend, but life goes on

  18. A period of high increase in borrowing rates and prices, people spending less, main factor in cooling down the gdp growth, as in many countries

  19. Just because you and/or some of your firends have a hard time now, it does not mean ALL Norweginas got the same experience...You are fully allow to complain about everything, but do not try speak for every Norwegian

  20. Pretty average in the group of top 10 countries of the world, yes. But life moves on somehow anyway.

  21. It has much to do with the the strong rate hikes in US and Euro zone and these big economies development lately that have lowered the currency investors interest in small currencies like the NOK and others. The Norwegian economy is doing well, but many investors eyes are focuesed elsewhere. The NOK value used to be a lot based on the price of oil pre 2020, but now it's not that essensial, it has changed, there aredifferent factors. There has been talk about going in supporting the NOK more, but the politicians do not want to do something particualr about the currency for now. It's bad to cunsumers with higher cost of imports, but great to exporters
