Where social rights are enforced, health care is universal, the HDI is high, women have rights over their own bodies, the rich pay their fair share and even though every country has its own problems, the Teslas are also taxis.

Smacks of communism. Mr Trump won’t be having any of that foreign nonsense.

I feel like that’s more abundance of wealth than anything.

I don’t think a brutal rich theocratic monarchy is a social democracy.

We will take the venture capitalism away from his cold dead orange baby hands.

I saw exactly that Tesla today. It’s an early one as well, wonder what kind of mileage it has now.

I guess taxi companies have some sort of high-mileage warranty or leasing deal with Tesla. Probably tons.

Not sure, I think he has the same deal as everyone else.

See what I found:

Huh, that’s interesting, I love the idea of Taxi Teslas but I’m not sure the battery pack can handle Taxi mileage.

Where the North Sea gives plenty of oil and Europe pays handsomely for natural gas.

Not arguing politics at all. Norway is just a very blessed country.

As a Canadian I agree with you, and I wouldn’t have it anyother way!

I learned this morning that all of that small-hand hype came from a couple of guys running Spy magazine . They made a hobby of calling Trump a “short-fingered vulgarian” in print. Repeatedly. In the ‘80s.

They said that to this day, Trump continues to send them denials. For example, Trump sent them a picture of himself last April with his hands circled in gold Sharpie with the comment “not so small.”

Short-fingered vulgarian. My new favorite insult.

Norway is far from the only example.

Of course it is, the monarchy has no political power and they are represented by a parliament.

Social Democracies are great, until you run out of other peoples money.

Which begs the question how Venezuela effed up badly. Two countries with oil to thank for their existence.

Every time I see “vulgarian” for some reason I think of the word “Vogon” (the alien race in Hitchhikers Guide).

This leads to me imagining Trump as a Vogon.

This leads to me imagining Trump reading a poem he wrote

This leads to seizures and the sweet release of death

Mismanagement, as much as I respect Chavez and Maduro for some of their social developments they were corrupt and violent sons of bitches and the extremely low oil price helped.
