Norway did it in 2015, and it seems to have been a success.

There has been surprisingly little debate about it here in Denmark. I haven't heard a single argument against it.

It should be noted that the draft is for training only, and that it's possible for pacifists to opt out of the military training by doing work for other institutions.

Personally I think it might be a great help for modernizing the military, because they'll need to rethink the old "one size fits all" procedures.

I think it's just a follow up on the recent NATO meeting where everyone decided to suck Trump's cock to make him shut up and play along.

Troels Lund Poulsen is the perfect tool for that.

Their people?

Yes. It was finally settled in the end of 2023.

Denmark and Canada already share an empty island. The border goes right through the middle, but the treaty includes the freedom for any visitors from either side to enjoy the entire island.

You need a bigger calculator.

Sure, the purchase price is somewhat higher, but if you look at all the costs in the lifespan of the vehicle, the EVs are cheaper.

Working class people can't afford not to buy EVs.

I doubt that cars and car infrastructure would be allowed today if we weren't already knee-deep in the shit they cause.

It's probably the worst invention ever.

Something like 9/10 of the tire dust and also wear on roads are from trucks.

Personal transport is much less. It's not negligible, but the difference between fossil or electric fueled is basically just a talking points. The weight is the cause of increasing tire dust, and modern cars are all heavier than before regardless of fuel.

The kids are going to be alright. They grew up with phones and learned in schools that there are times when it's inappropriate to use it.

I'm much more worried about the older people who have absolutely no etiquette for phone usage.

When my teenager has friends over they literally stack their phones and do whatever they met up to do.

When the grandparents come over they sit and fiddle candy crush and Facebook like their life depended on it.

It's not directly banned in Denmark. It's basically non-existent, and as such difficult to find people who cares enough about banning it.

Indirectly it is already illegal, because it's illegal to treat anyone for anything against their will. This includes children.

However, there are still people who send their children to a therapist or a doctor. I don't know if a ban would change their minds in any way. Perhaps it's better that the parents get to have that conversation with a doctor instead of just being angry at a law and seeking help at alternative places through religion or whatever. They'd probably do that with or without a law anyway, so if anything, it's actually better if they have the opportunity to talk to a professional therapist first without just getting told off.

Politicians don't want to deal with it. They're afraid the backlash from people who are against all things "woke", would be bigger than the support from anyone who actually cares about the virtue signaling.

**If** the practice is actually widespread and secretly done in religious circles, we would benefit from hearing those stories.

Sure thing. This post is about Denmark though, where the nuclear power has been banned by hippies in the 80s, and the same old idiots now decline expanding solar power because they prefer to look at fields of manure instead of solar panels.

Money isn't the issue.

Nimby'ism is preventing the expansion of solar and wind.

Nimby'ism will also prevent the building of a large nuclear plant.

I hope the change of law will enable more research on modern nuclear power.

They closed down all, about 1400 small farms, in 2020.

The ban was removed in 2023.

6 larger farms have reopened since then, comparable to 15 of the previous farms.

It was a total shit show, but at least the clean up forced all the skeletons out of the closet.

The freight prices need to be changed. It's unacceptable low.

It's just not reasonable to get free shipping when buying "dollar store" items from the opposite side of the globe in individual packages. The environment is paying for this shit.

It's a different culture altogether, where a job is expected"for life", which also makes it difficult to quit a job. People are literally hiring other people to deliver their resignation notices because it's impossible to do in person.

It's going to fluctuate a lot on it's way down.

The people who bought it for a high price will also buy at lower prices to get a better average in total. These kinds purchases will increase the price for no other reason and self fulfill the option to sell the total at a slightly higher average than rock bottom. It's a (risky) way to cut the losses.

Many people are probably still holding on to the overpriced stocks.

With these things combined, existing investors can maintain an artificial high price. However, unless new investors start buying, it'll slowly but steadily lose value over time as existing investors manage to seep out.

You could use your ticket money to pay off your mortgage, so all of your spendings are costing you the same interest at minimum.

So if you have a mortgage, you're not supposed to buy _anything_ until the house is paid off?

Assembly is not enough.

It's not just **a** tariff, and it's also not just a single row list of tariffs on countries or products or whatever.

The tariff tables are multi dimensional. Each product has it's own table of rates. Besides country and product type, there's a dimension of how it's assembled/manufactorered and potentially if it's part of some sort of special agreements etc.

"The tariff" is basically a worldwide database of product information.

There are actually very few products that are fully produced in any one country. This is mostly agricultural or raw ressources. All other products are said to be manufactorered from different countries.

The country of origin in that case is the last country in which the product significantly changed value from being manufactorered locally and it requires a facility to do so. Slapping a sticker on something is not enough.

Anyway, the tariff tables take all that into account.

It's very naive to think you can legally bypass this system simply by leaving a product in your neighbors garden before bringing it home.

You don't have to waste your time doing that for fun. Plenty of people in logistics get paid well for doing just that, and if they can't find the loophole, there is very little chance that you'll find it described online.
