Wait, does this kind of mean , the work I do support random Norwegian who is Slacking off all day even though I don't even live in same country?

Someone has to still make the food they eat and clothes they wear.

I assume the poor people in Asian countries do it for them and still remain poor their entire lives even though they work probably 100x more.

What a shit show economic system we have made.

Norway is a net exporter of food. A lot of Norwegians are working hard to make or catch it.

My bad. I overreacted.

It could be much worse. Usually resources subsidise billionaire lifestyles where one person consumes massive resources to support their lifestyle. At least Norway spread that around a bit even if limited to their own country.

Ideally the world would be one with equity and all but short of a benevolent alien invasion or AI takeover we’re not getting that. At least Norway’s doing well at wealth distribution at a local level.
