A German comedian once said "If you know who the enemy is, it gives your day some structure". I guess he's right, when people know what to hate, they feel better about themselves because it allows them to externalize hatred they might otherwise have to internalize.
In other words, as long as you have someone to blame that isn't you, you can get by without antidepressants.
Equinor is publicly traded? Technically you're correct. Actually, though... "As of 2017, the Government of Norway is the largest shareholder with 67% of the shares" (source).
Yeah. Very public. With 2/3 held by Norway. It's a bit like the average US corporation, all right, with the difference that it's not some filthy rich asshole but the government holding the majority.
Now take a wild guess that's better for the general population.
I actually don't remember seeing FB mentioned in any job applications. Then again, in security it's a KO-criterion if you use it since you basically admit that don't know jack about security or at the very least don't give a fuck, so...
50x the cost in taxes? Are you high? My university degree costed nothing and is highly sought after worldwide. How about yours? If your country is too corrupt to run a school system, change your government to something that doesn't suck but don't blame mine for your shortcomings.
Every time I go to the US and get asked whether I really don't want to work there I have a really hard time to laugh the border guard right into the face. Seriously, the US is a bit like a king sized amusement park. Great for a holiday, because for money you can buy pretty much anything, but I wouldn't want to live there. Or work.
You are aware that you are arguing your case against a country that just basically proved that the OPPOSITE of what you suggest is making its people rich, yes?
How does getting your ass blown off make you a man? If anything, getting into the way of bullets only increases the chance to become less of a man, depending on what part they shoot off.
Maybe because Norway wasn't stupid enough to hand over their oil and gas to some corporation?
Or, more to the point, maybe its politicians are not corrupt enough to hand it over for a position in their directorate. Which might also explain why the population there has more faith in its politicians than in crooked and failed countries.
Maybe because they don't call you an enemy? At some point in your life, you do benefit from the system. You went to school? Maybe college? You get sick? Get unemployed? Retire?
There is literally nobody that doesn't, at some point in his life, gets to benefit from the system.
It has a very different meaning in Europe. You'll actually notice that most non-English Wikipedia articles don't conflate socialism with communism. Why it is in the English Wikipedia that way I leave as exercise to the reader...

Must've been better tech if it managed to put men on the moon but today's can't manage to make text appear in a way that's legible.

Probably more than football stadiums.
He didn't yield "properly" and didn't forfeit his rights, so a search dog was called?
In other words, they were looking hard for some kind of shit to nail to his ass.
You're free to do as we tell you. And you have the right to remain silent, so shut the fuck up!
Nah, thanks. I got that at home.

Gallons wasn't counter-intuitive enough, so we're now measuring space in donuts?
Glazed, of course.
Lockheed, are you an engineering factory or a chocolate factory? Do you have skunkworks or Oompa Loompa?
Well, there's the excitement of a roller coaster at Disney Land and the excitement of a mine cart ride a la Indy...
Depends. Are they cute?
It is kinda weird when conservatives and liberals tell you the same thing is a nono, isn't it?
I'm fairly sure quite a few CEOs out there deserve at least the same.

The more the better. Maybe at some point people will stop buying that crap and the whole thing is finally over.

The decisions of Bin Laden affected millions, how much should we have paid him?

Wait, you want to tell me there are still people who don't use adblockers and privacy browsers or at least privacy extensions?
It must take a lot of R&D to include FEWER ports than the competition...
