The Nordic model: a pragmatic mix of left (social democratic) and right (liberal) economic policies not based on rigid ideology but on what works.

>good
You mean everything is overpriced and overrated?

>>75221646
So just like France? Sounds okay to me.

All this also means a bloated public sector and bureaucratic overdrive.

A friend wanted to renovate a cabin from the 1960s, ok absolute same location and style just that it was 90cm wider than the cabin that was there to begin with.

So first he got the building permit 2 years ago, now they have started asking him for documentation with declarions of the good and bad sides of this project in written form, this and that. 2months of sending paper to a local authority, now they will have " a hearing" in 6months time about the case either being solved or not.

All this after he got the permit built the cabin and thought it was ok.

They basically found out after the renovation that since the location is 30m away from a water front/ beach it will have to through some sort of special procedure.... He had a lawyer write the response since he already got the renovating permit 2 years ago, but now " a hearing" will be held.....


This is the everyday. Everything is regulated and taxed to the absolute possible maximum.

Want beer over 4,7%? In to the state monopoly shop you go!

Want to buy beer after 20pm, not in the grocery stores just in a permit holding restaurant/bar.


Want to buy gasoline??? 99% of the price is tax.

Want to buy a car? 80% tax. etc.

Really horrible.

With minimum 33% income tax, up to god knows how high.

He is building on his privately owned land.

Apart from one or two details, this is similar to France, with one major distinction: the French administration will always try to fuck you up, even if you respect all the rules.

This goes from systematically denying they received your letters, to tax penalties for no reason (basically, just because you seem to have it too good).

Well but they must have jobs in the public sector too am I right?

These paper pushers collect a decent salary from the state basically just doing nothing.

Worse scum than the unemployed mostly.

Yes, we're the EU country with the most civil servants (5.2 million).

But the workers in the private bureaucracies (big companies, notaries, etc.) are just as lazy and incompetent in my experience.

>>75221067
might have a high standard of living but its breddy boring

>>75223249

Maybe they are as lazy but atleast they don't get paid with the taxpayers money.

think nordics posters are all decent to good looking people.. see them posts their face in some threads, a tad disppointed when see said pics :(
