Norway is one of the happiest countries in the world and people get a minimum of 30k a year. Yes everyone gets a minimum of 30k a year from the government, even if you don't work. You get free health care and programs to help you get free food and support.
USA is one of the most depressed countries in the world. Min wage is laughable and 65% of Americans receive min wage.You cannnot survive off anything less than 15$ an hour and the fact that "privledged" Americans oppose this just really shows how evil and disgusting people are. Everyone I know who has good paying jobs , never did it through hard work or dedication, it was from a family member getting them the job or an attractive stacy getting the job only because she is good looking, It's unfair that retail and fast food workers are underpaid so much, considering these are the hardest jobs to do. You should get paid more money for harder the work, yet this isn't the case.
I never worked as hard in my life , then when I worked at Burger King, The shit you get from customers alone , should deserve you that 15$.hr min. Now I work as a chemist for a major fortune 500 company, bringing home 65kyr salary AND I LITERALLY DON"T DO ANYTHING AT WORK. My work is all done by robots and I just input and record data. My boss takes all the employees out for a 3 hour lunch every friday and we all get paid for it. Every day we have a 2 hour meeting in the morning which is just an excuse to eat donuts and drink coffee and just bull shit with each other. My job even payed off my college debt for me. THIS IS UNFAIR AND NOT OK. But none of these privelged people want to admit that they are getting payed more money for less work, and are turning their nose to hard workers of retail and fast food. Its disgusting
Leo Kelly
It's called "oil". That's right. OIL. Socialism works in homogeneous countries with a load of oil to sell.
Jayden Cox
then you shouldn't mind being taxed a little more so you can provide more for fast food workers since you don't deserve your pay and they do.
Zachary Sullivan
>I never worked as hard in my life , then when I worked at Burger King LOL!

America has more oil than Saudis and Norwegians combined.

fuck. it. all.
Jacob Phillips
Norway is a homogeneous European country and USA is a dysfunctional multicultural "melting pot" - tells you everything you need to know.
Jaxon Baker
Pretty easy. Low population, state oil and the largest SWF in the world
Dominic Lopez
You forgot to add that Norway is the most expensive country to live in in Europe.
Julian Clark
And a hell of a lot more people and infrastructure. Your point is moot.
Everyone knows Norway's wealth is due to oil.
Easton Ramirez
Norway is a failed county if that were to ever disappear and it's population is less than five million, it's that simple.
Michael Sanders
aww fuck
Adrian Fisher
we have 40 million niggers here faggot socialism is not a good thing for us
Bentley Wood
if that oil* They also have ridiculous laws when it comes to alcohol, not to mention the fact that everything costs three times as much as here in Denmark.

>30k a year it costs 12 euro for a fucking beer, bong
Luis Russell
There is no reason why one of the states in the u.s. can become like Norway. The only thing holding you back is the fact your countries culture is secular judaism - acquiring as many shekels as possible at the expense of everyone else.
Austin Butler
Norway has a population of 5M.
Matthew James
You are just making numbers up you fucking retard.
Jaxon Lopez
Only 5 million people and shitloads of oil.
Henry Peterson
Funny that, we have minimum wages here in Australia as well but when I went to the pub the other day I was paying $7 for a beer and $12 for a glass of rum and coke.
People forget that minimum wages drives up the price of goods and services as businesses must recoup the loss elsewhere of having to pay employees more.
Angel Rivera
Yeah you got qualifications, OP. That's your reward, that's fair
Daniel Bell
>America has more oil than Saudis and Norwegians combined. And 66 times the population of Norway.
All oil isn't equal in terms of production cost. If it costs $35 a barrel to make in one place and $2 a barrel in another if the world market price is $45 someone is making far more money.
Sebastian Davis
Learn English you commie
Also you're right op, people do deserve a living wage. The problem is that you'd be forcing corporations to actually take on some of the social responsibility that our gloated government has taken on. Which might not sound like an incentive, Americans would go ape shit.
Joseph Green
>Norway is one of the happiest countries in the world and people get a minimum of 30k a year. Yes everyone gets a minimum of 30k a year from the government, even if you don't work. You get free health care and programs to help you get free food and support.
Norway is rich off oil and barely maintains a military.
its not just that, but you inflate the money supply which pushes prices up as well to compensate.
inflation yo, its a bitch.
Jackson Young
Ok. Now what do you want us to do?
Michael Sanders

You seem to be fucking stupid for a chemist.
Everyone on the street can do the burger king work. Now try to find someone on the street who can do the chemist work.
Its all about the qualification.
Connor Allen
Higher wages don't cause inflation, inflation causes the need for higher wages.
Kevin Morris
What we need is a perfect price discrimination point really badly in America, where we wouldn't really have to change shit but just introduce a method of payment that helps poor people save money and a chunkier cost to those that could handle spending a little more, for some particular incentive I haven't figured out yet. This way everything pretty much stays the same
Josiah Green
I'd like to know what shit tier "chemist" you are where you go out for lunches all the time and sit on board rooms eating donuts and drinking coffee. Did you just lie on an anime image board?
Jacob Peterson
Most min wage workers deserve far less, if you think Burger King is a hard job that deserves more pay you've no real concept of hard work. I would stop working if some fucking burger flipper made $15 an hour, how fucking insulting to people that do real work for the same.
Dylan Gomez
According to one economic theory. Nobody truly knows what causes inflation. Economics is not a hard science.
Xavier Cruz
>Its all about the qualification. If you didn't flood your market with immigrant labor the price you can demand for your labor raises.
It's not only about qualification.
Michael Torres
>You cannnot survive off anything less than 15$ an hour Yes you can. It's called having roommates, a family, and not making shitty life/career decisions.
>The shit you get from customers alone , should deserve you that 15$.hr min. That's not how economies work, you knuckle-dragging retard.
David Taylor

It won't last long, unless they sanctuarise strongly their country but I don't see how.

We're not allowed to. It would be offensive to those who aren't.
William Williams
I'm just here to look at tits.
Jace Morales
In any position right out of college with a large organization you don't do shit for the first few years. That's because as smart as you think you are, you don't know anything about the real working world and what they really want you to learn is the basics of the industry and the organizational culture. You're paid what you're paid because they see potential for you in the future based on your work in attaining a relevant degree. In a few years if they think you're worth anything you'll be promoted and have actual responsibility, then you'll see why you earn more than the average burger flipper.
Bentley Stewart
The higher your qualification is the more rare you become as a resource. As long as there is demand.
Non skilled labor gets shit pay because everyone can do it.
Tyler Rodriguez
In USD or NOK? You never mentioned what currency.
There's no way that it is in USD, that is bullshit.
Where are your sources shitbong?

Nathaniel Martin
Yeah. I work in finance. I think most professionals assume that since service workers are making less, they must be even lazier than we know we are. That's just not how it works in the capitalist system. In fact, the very richest often do the very least. It is a fucked system and I support their efforts to overthrow it, or at least make it more fair.
Isaac Butler

Justin Watson

Our wealth per capita is barely behind Norway's. We could afford pretty close to the level of Norway's social services, but muh capitalism

I do high level neuroscience research for an organization with value in the billions
They pay me $14.10/hr to design experiments, conduct experiments, train people, do animal surgery, write custom software and develop protocols for its use, analyze data, and present it.
I want to cry every day.
Everyone I know makes more than me, and the majority have no formal education.
The system is fucked.
Grayson Jackson
What pays for all of that? Oooh that's right the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund. An investment fund is literally providing the Norwegians with a dream life. CAPITALISM WINS AGAIN
Isaac Jenkins

It is kinda bullshit, more like $15-20k.
I didn't find any source on that, but the lowest program, sosialstodnad.
Is roughly $1k a month + rent is paid by them and electric is refunded.

Norway are homogeneous and small numbered. Saudi Arabia is not a shithole only if you are related to the ruling dynasty.

it's also a much bigger country did you seriously not think of that?
Jace Long
>life isn't fair Wow, you just discovered life's greatest secret. Good job OP. Those Nordic countries have better citizens for one, in the case of Norway they also have a huge primary industry in oil. You can't expect a multicultural and multiethnic country to sustain the same welfare state that exists in a homogenous country. Beyond the homogeneity you have the fact that blacks and hispanics on aggregate take far more from the system than they give, that is, they are a drain on the system that would only get worse if they were handed $30k/year
Grayson Garcia
>tfw Sweden would be a better Norway had we not taken this dark path And this without oil.

Norway is Venezuela with a trustfund, and about 20 years behind killing zoo animals for food if the oil price remain unchanged and innovation remains low.
Alexander Turner
It's not about how hard the job is. Minimum skill = minimum wage. Anyone can work fast food jobs and that's why the pay is so low. If someone quits they can be replaced within days as the job is not difficult to do. This is coming from a person making minimum wage. Fuck off with your retarded bullshit
Andrew Hill
Nothing here is true. I have never gotten a single penny from the government. I am unemployed and no one helps me. I tried. Dont believe op. If u are poor and unemployed u r ignored.
Blake Gomez
Actually the first time money was withdrawn from that fund and used was last year at a sum of a couple of measly billion.
More like $6k, our taxes aren't that bad. Nobody suffers because of the taxes. It's blown out of proportion from ignorant burgers.
A man with extremist views thinking others are also extremist, not bad projecting. Also they lost the election 4 years ago and have not been our ruling party. So what the fuck?
Gavin Garcia
Ask for a raise, if that doesn't work get a new job.

Exactly this. We have a huge number of students in college/university on student loans. Really they are unemployed, lending out low interest student loans and establishing that "everyone" should go to university disguises unemployment. Most debt, high taxes. Fuck man, I plan to go to america and help MAGA and make my money there.

disparate values, different needs need to be addressed. You might need to create a few permeations of the same thing to satisfy the heterogenous group than you would the homogenous group.
all the hipsters want artisan stores and whole foods and hate fast food, all the niggers want popeyes and liquor stores. Latinos wanna eat outside in parks, asians wanna eat inside in comfortable buildings, etc etc etc

only problem is you pay so much in tax, company tax and vat that you spend 75-90% of it right there. You can never get anywhere, no matter how hard you work. Sounds a lot like slavery, doesn't it?
if you were to save over 1k usd a month it would take you 10 years to buy a ok house in the outer, outer city.

Charles Nguyen
lol
>student loans
You know what's funny?
In my circle of friends, I am about the only one that did not take a bachelors/masters degree.
I just finished high school with a degree, and startet working in a "low wage" job. (still do, but in a different firm)
Right now I have the biggest house of all my friends, and while they all struggle with their student loans, I have enough disposable income to maintain a comfertable life style.
I eat at restaurants whenever I want, I go on trips throughout Europe and over the last 3-4 years I have spent about 20k on a old car that I have just for fun.
(I also have a "normal" car for every day use)
Granted, my friends with degrees will eventually have more money than me, and they will probably be more "rich" in the end, I will have had about a 10 year head start on a "comfortable" life before they have finished their degrees and paid of their studend loans.
During those 10 years my house will increase in value as long as the russians do not wreck us and I will have paid of large portions of my loan.
Degrees are worthless in Norway, and unless you take them because you want to work within a specific field, then you have just wasted 5-10 years of your life studying something meaningless and then paying down large student loans.
Meanwhile, I will continue work with "low" income, and when I have no more loans (hopefully about when I turn 45) I will just work half weeks and chill for the rest of my life.

But I don't see how this would affect the distribution of welfare specificly? Whether or not the googles get their chicken has to do with the free market not the government, and their aren't exactly a lot of culturaly differrent ways to give people tax funded university and healthcare.
