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 !!!

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