        Norway is your garden variety welfare state, whose lavish benefits are financed by North Sea oil revenues. Now that stream of income is dwindling, and there's nothing to replace it. Not much different than Saudi Arabia. But unlike the Saudis, Norwegian oil is more expensive to produce so they can't choose to simply switch the pumps to maximum output.

          when you have one source and want all the goodies and that source drops to nothing guess what you cant pay for all the goodies.

          Trudeau cut off the golden goose and brought in Saudi shit to fill the void. Once the Canadian goose dies to guess what skippy can't pay for shit either.

          You have to be really stupid to not figure it out.

            And Alberta has even more costly to produce oil. Fun while it lasted.

              LOL. Ya I'm not sure if it is the real deal or some kind of hypnotic device to quell the masses!

              If you drill down you will see that likely the true value of the fund will come out in the quarterlies

                Norway has a 1.3 trillion dollar heritage fund. Damn that is socialism. In Alberta Kenney wants socialism for the oil industry or another bail out.

                Norway wealth fund earned a record $180 billion in 2019

                Last year’s return on investment amounted to almost $34,000 for each of the 5.3 million people living in Norway, and the overall value of the fund is now equivalent to about $207,000 for every man, woman and child.
                The fund holds stakes in more than 9,000 companies globally, owning 1.5% of all listed stocks. It also invests in bonds and real estate.

                      Agreed.


                      They also seem to "dis" any new technology or innovation.

                      Hardly capitalism.

                      Entrepreneurs look for opportunities, business ideas. Embrace like and contrarian views, and manage risk.


                      Most agrivillers seemingly spend their winters vacationing, their summers doing things the same way grandpa did, and complaining how life is unfair the whole way along.



                      Just the way it seems somedays.

                        Ha that's hilarious. Looks to me a lot of grandpas are backing ag more than ever millennials to get into this business. Lot of them taking grandpa down too.

                        Ever start a farm from scratch?

                            No.

                            Ever start a 70 million a year business from scratch?

                            Didn't think so.

                            In this family you get nothing until you prove yourself worthy and capable.

                            The AG more than ever crowd is neither...


                            And I'm older than you think.

                              So I am curious Zephyr do you just despise farmers? Speak for yourself I certainly don't spend my winters vacationing or complaining how unfair life is. I certainly do call out stupid and short sighted government policy or tunnel vision where appropriate. I do find it amusing how posters like yourself prefer insults to rational input.
