Wait, does this kind of mean , the work I do support random Norwegian who is Slacking off all day even though I don't even live in same country?

Someone has to still make the food they eat and clothes they wear.

I assume the poor people in Asian countries do it for them and still remain poor their entire lives even though they work probably 100x more.

What a shit show economic system we have made.

It could be much worse. Usually resources subsidise billionaire lifestyles where one person consumes massive resources to support their lifestyle. At least Norway spread that around a bit even if limited to their own country.

Ideally the world would be one with equity and all but short of a benevolent alien invasion or AI takeover we’re not getting that. At least Norway’s doing well at wealth distribution at a local level.
