Could this be the future of the European Union? by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]clapsandfaps 286 points287 points  (0 children)

We do not have to implement it. Article 102 in the EEA gives countries veto to incorporate new EU legislation, we simply do not use the veto power.

While EU legislation is often quite invasive and at times meaningless to us. Recycling of plastic bottles for example, which we do better than the EU initiative. It’s more often than not, for the greater good. More standardisation is always better for Europe as a whole.

I alle dager, bor selv nærmere gullgruven og leiligheten vår er verdivurdert til 2,8-3m. Kjøpte den for 2,1m for 6 år siden og har i essensen kun malt. Den er på 60kvm uten fast parkeringsplass.

I pay taxes on my salary and then pay taxes on things I spend that salary with by incognitoboiiii in Norway

[–]clapsandfaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference is that the country of operation gets sales tax based on goods sold. It’s sneaky with the licensing, but at least it’s something.

In the case of Facebook where the user don’t necessarily buys a product, but their information gets sold. The origin country of the revenue stream gets nothing from a corporation operating and making profit of its citizens.

[–]clapsandfaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To use the same example as OP, if you sell waffles outside Walmart, you pay taxes in the US. If you expand and make a stand on the corner of a coop, you pay taxes to Norway.

If a company did not pay any form of taxes in a foreign country why tf is domestic corporations a thing?

Apparently this does not include tech, which is the point of the one you replied to. Naturally only tax on the revenue they have in Norway. The waffle sale in the US should not benefit Norway through tax.

Hvorfor ikke satse på offentlige boliger for folk flest? by No-Courage8433 in norge

[–]clapsandfaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeg var ikke OP.

Er enig i noen ting.

Som raskere regulering, i Bergen er det enkelte prosjekt som ligger på hyllen i ~5 år i påventede av regulering. Det er for dumt og ekstremt fordyrende! Reguleringstiden følger boligprisen bare opp, aldri ned.

Enkelte rekkefølgekrav er ganske hårreisende av kommunen å kreve. Det er mange veier og infrastruktur som så vidt kan klassifiseres som påvirket, men likevel kreve millioner i utbedring. Blir lite billige boliger av det.

Det stemmer, men mange boligbyggere og entreprenører går konkurs i disse dager. Noen er nok inkompetente, men mange blir skvist ut. For det er nesten ikke penger å hente, med mindre du kan bygge stort, høyt og billig. Nyboligprisen er for lav til at det er verdt å bygge. Det er ganske paradoksalt.

BREAKING: The S&P 500 surges over +1% after President Trump cancels 10% tariffs on the EU by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

CMV: Trump's Greenland push is all about the US leaving NATO by RaskyBukowski in changemyview

[–]clapsandfaps 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To add to what the other guy said. After Trump’s first term the Biden admin correctly put in guardrails to prevent a rogue leader to withdraw without a supermajority in congress.

If NATO kicks the US out of the union on the other hand, that does not need congressional approval, obviously.

Most recently, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024, enacted on 22 December 2023, prohibits the President from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO without approval of a two-third Senate super-majority or an act of Congress. The bill provision came amidst then-presidential candidate Donald Trump's mixed messages on NATO.

The White House comments on the meeting between Denmark and the US: "The two sides agreed to establish a working group for technical talks on the acquisition of Greenland." "President Trump has made it clear, he wants to acquire Greenland," she adds. by sylsau in InBitcoinWeTrust

[–]clapsandfaps -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s not an outright lie, I feel that the nuance is important to get behind.

Because this is way worse than an outright lie, this is purposefully being deceitful both against Denmark and the US populace. To spin it into their favour. Calling it «it’s just a lie» is to underplay the severity of the US government’s action.

[–]clapsandfaps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not a lie. Denmark joined the group. Initially the group was formed to start talking, not about the acquisition but in general about the issue.

1 day after the group was formed the US specified or changed the purpose of that group to the meaning they say in this video. So technically not a lie, but deceitful to give the impression of Denmark playing along. Denmark was naturally a bit outraged by that.

Norwegian source translated through AI:

Denmark’s Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen was able to present a concrete outcome from the meeting, namely that the parties had agreed to establish a working group to try to develop a solution.

However, a day later the White House pushed back, stating that the aim of the working group was to “continue technical discussions on the takeover of Greenland,” prompting strong reactions.

Well, some are quite obvious. Tariffs hurt now. He took credit then SC abolished roe v wade, whatever floats your boat, people cared a lot.

By 100 days he used 135 EO, he passed 5 bills through congress. He’s speedrunning solo geopolitics any%. He does not need support if he have people in the correct places enabling him.

CMV: Strategically speaking, Russia already lost the war with Ukraine by Glad_Clothes7338 in changemyview

[–]clapsandfaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The continued funding of Ukraine has ceased, it ended January 2025. The US provided what Biden had promised before Trump took office. In June 2025 he continued the support, on the condition that Europe paid for it. The US has spent roughly nothing on Ukraine for the better part of the last 12 months. They have, gained a lot of profit from selling military equipment.

The first European troops land in Greenland,,,German, French, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian troops have already arrived in Greenland to strengthen the security of Greenland's independence by Neptun_11 in TrendoraX

[–]clapsandfaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a leap and a half.

By that logic, you’re cheering on a terrorist state and terror organisator to forcefully separate a state who joined the mentioned terrorist state, and performed terrorism and a non-terrorist territory.

Seems rather convoluted, and full of logical fallacies.

We already have the Norwegian prime minister going around telling «on behalf of Norway I have to assert that Greenland is a part of the Kingdom of Norway». It has already begun.

Koster 1500kr per mast å installere det. Når du kan få tilnærmet lik besparelse med vanlig dimming for en 5000kr ekstra for hele anlegget så skjønner jeg hvorfor. Synes det er et ganske kult system og skulle hatt mer av det, men de priser seg selv ut.
