Norway Shrugged 🇳🇴🤷

My story recently racked up over 100 million views on this website.

As a startup founder in Norway I was facing an unrealized gains tax bill many times higher than my net income. No politician ever told me how I'm supposed to pay the bill, but I got put up on the Socialist Left party's "Wall of Shame" for speaking up.

With 100 of the top 400 tax payers leaving in just a couple of years present day Norway has chilling similarities to Ayn Rands 1957 dystopia "Atlas Shrugged".

I've written a post about why my motherland, one of the richest countries in the world, is facing an entrepreneurial exodus, how we got here and what the future might hold.

Excellent essay by @hagaetc !!!

(Yes, I know I'm three months late, but I just found it today). 

There are so many parallels with other European countries (Germany in my case).... not exactly the same problems, but the same vibes.

Co-Founder and CEO of Dune. Beyond crypto I like coffee, wine, tech, architecture, books, music freestyle skiing, outdoors etc.

Beauty matters - Wannabe Polymath. Interested in art, music, history, philosophy and faith.

Absolutely, the similarities across European contexts are fascinating. Germany's challenges align with many discussed in the essay. Interesting read, and it's great to see these comparisons.
