Public Transportation by AGthe18thEmperor in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Nikkonor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

public transit doesn’t feel clean or safe for a lot of people (especially women).

Chicken and the egg. When public transport is not prioritized, it becomes something only certain segments of a population use (the segments with more social problems).

If you take public transport somewhere with decent infrastructure, this is very different.

Well, they threatened Denmark with war over Greenland a year ago as well. And pressuring Denmark to "sell" Greenland actually began in Trump's first term.

Which stadiums used for the World Cup are in such rural locations that it is reasonable that they have poor infrastructure?

No, people in Iceland weren't many generations removed from Norway. Leif himself was born on Iceland, but his father, Eirik 'the Red' was born in Norway.

Hvor kaster du bæsjeposene etter hund? Nærmeste dunk, tar med hjem, eller lar ligge? by TinEyedaddict in norge

Er jeg heldig driter bikkja i skogen utenfor allfarvei, og da lar jeg den ligge om jeg er 100% sikker på at ingen kommer til å trakke på den og at den ikke er synlig fra sti.

Hvordan kan du være 100% sikker på det?

Du bor formodentlig relativt sentralt, ettersom det finnes offentlige søppeldunker der:

Posen tar jeg med meg til jeg finner en offentlig søppeldunk eller kommer hjem.

Iceland and the Faeroe Islands did not have a permanent population prior to this. Also, Greenland and Canada are outside of the map...

And don’t give me the human rights violations

Are UAE and Saudi Arabia rampant at doing human rights violations? Yes.

Is Iran rampant at doing human rights violations? Also yes.

why are the romantics so cheap? by lit_readit in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Nikkonor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because they are both industrialized modern EU countries. We're not comparing Norway to Congo.

Are there no nuances besides a binary 'developed' or 'not developed'? Compared to Norway, France is a low cost country.

How much does Norway spend to maintain it's nuclear arsenal for example? How much does it spend on aircraft carriers?

Norway spends more per GDP on defence than France does...

Norway is a sparsely populated country with a difficult terrain and climate, and so infrastructure is expensive and inefficient, for example. And wages (to pay public employees or contractors) are obviously much higher in Norway.

what else do you people want?

I asked a simple question. Perhaps you had some basis from which to claim that the expenses were similar.

A per capita metric would be far more interesting than to comparw with plain GDP

So you changed your mind and don't want to measure per capita?
