All the countries mentioned in the article that have 10+ times bigger populations, like USA, Canada, Italy Germany, have about equal winter sport opportunities, economies and traditions to Norway.
So it is absolutely an impressive feat by Norway to take home the most gold medals when they are vastly outnumbered by several other countries.
Obviously countries that have no winter sport traditions, and have little or no opportunity for winter sport are not relevant to this comparison.

Norwegians put less emphasis on competition and specialisation in their youth sports – scores are not recorded in team sports matches featuring children under 12 – and more importance on fun.

What an absolutely amazing idea. 👍 😀

Obama issued fewer executive orders on average than any president since Cleveland

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grover_Cleveland

Stephen Grover Cleveland (March 18, 1837 – June 24, 1908) was the 22nd and 24th president of the United States, serving from 1885 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897.

Obama made the least number of executive orders of any president for more than a century. So I seriously doubt he normalized them in any regard.

Also a slippery slope argument is a logical fallacy.

False equivalence. EU is not controlled by a single president, for such actions there would have to be a near unanimous agreement among the other member states.
So the comparison would be if for instance 45 states agreed to take away privileges from one state in USA, instead of just 1 president, that may not even have won by a majority vote.

There’s a difference between a decision made in a democracy that respect minorities (EU), and a decision made by a president that is granted excessive powers in a dysfunctional democracy.

Maybe we could suspend their membership removing privileges and voting rights, while Hungary is investigated for compliance of EU regulations on for instance their freedom of speech, courts and democracy.

It’s as random as arresting the next in line.

She absolutely had a VALID Visa, and the headline is correct. Just because her husband’s Visa had expired , doesn’t justify locking them both up for 6 weeks.
She was locked up with a valid Visa.
Also the story about the Koreans that were arrested, when they were there preparing workers to work on a factory Hyundai was making, creating thousands of jobs, show that you are in no way safe as a foreigner coming to work in USA. You are actually more vulnerable, as they may disregard that foreigners working there are actually there legally.

Then they will have to travel the other way, which doesn’t have the risk of being detained illegally by ICE.
Or meet up in Canada, if they live close to Canada.

Refuse it.
At a very minimum there should be a huge risk compensation for traveling for work to USA right now.
6 weeks detained by ICE is no holiday, the conditions are horrible, and you will more likely than not be denied medical service if you need it.

Which was the purpose of Elon Musk buying it all along.
The algorithms are fucking designed specifically for that purpose!

Which the people of UK seem to soften up to, especially now because conditions internationally have gotten a lot worse than when UK voted for Brexit.
There is no way UK can trust USA as a partner now, as they may have hoped for.
Keir Starmer has also expressed opinions that are very close to what Mark Carney said in his brilliant speech at Davos.
Most of UK has realized the times are no longer suitable for standing alone as a so called middle power. Closer cooperation is necessary, and EU is their natural closest partner, both geographically and politically.

There is little doubt we will se closer cooperation in the near future between UK and EU on both defense and economy.

Edit: Typo

it won’t ever be as beneficial as their original EU membership was.

I absolutely agree, that ship has sailed in more ways than one. First UK does not have the advantages they did in the early 70’s. Second their disruptive behavior in EU and Brexit reduce the political goodwill from European countries that also existed in the 70’s.

So absolutely there is no chance in hell they will get a “half price” membership again.
Still they might be able to negotiate a deal more like Norway and Switzerland.

Trump can’t spell, I totally didn’t make a typo!

I would recommend Linux also for people who can run Windows 10 or 11.

Hold my bear…

I am shocked about how accurate my prediction was back before the election, I predicted that UK would lose about 1% per year over many years, if they voted Brexit.
And here we are now 10 years after the vote, and 8 years after Brexit was effectuated, and the relative decline to non Brexit is estimated at 6-8%.

If UK doesn’t manage a free trade agreement with EU, I suspect this will continue for another decade, possibly at a slightly lower rate.

If UK does manage to get a good deal with EU, things will return to almost normal, but the investments that were lost this past decade will remain lost. So UK will continue from the lower level they are at now.
