  1. In the second video you posted, the author of the Wired article Taylor Lorenz said, 'I never suggested that the influencers are told what to say', 'I never said Democrats were behind this'.paraphrasing. She's a hack, she bamboozled you with her "dark money" talk. Cohen said at the launch of Chorus that it was to fund creators, in the video I posted from a year ago, that makes it not "dark", the funding was made public from the launch, it's funded by donors that Cohen requests donations from regularly in his videos.
  2. Even Taylor debunked your claim you're making here, in your second video.
  3. The cohen video on Chorus i posted was from a year ago, when he first started it. It's a donation organization for Pete's sake, he asks for donations publicly..... I don't think you even watched the videos you posted, watch your second video. Even Lorenz debunks you. I barely watch Cohen and I remembered Chorus popping up back then. I mean they have a literal website where you can sign up to join Chorus. Even Lorenz was part of it. https://nypost.com/2022/06/04/washington-post-adds-two-corrections-to-taylor-lorenz-piece/ She's always been a hack attention whore.
  4. Not true. And Brian Tyler Cohen announced Chorus a year ago publicly when he started it. Pakman has been posted on their website, along with the others. https://youtube.com/shorts/f6uwmKZ8_3I?si=UpBcHMil6KwW1Wv1
  5. Democracy just means the common people vote.
  6. "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way" is the famous opening line of Leo Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina
  7. The best performing investment fund(not a trading fund) in the world (by about 2.5x) is an algorithm, and it's been the best performing fund for 25 years. It's private though. Yours will probably ruin you., day trading ruins 99/100, I don't understand how, but that's the number. People are emotional egomaniacs. I day trade but I don't do options and I have a modest approach, a complimentary blend of investing and trading.
  8. Very few. But, a lot of healthy ones. No Ego
  9. Politics are obviously a direct result of the society. Don't like the politics?, teach people, and support taxes for people to be taught.
  10. Just ran across her, small channel she just started
  11. I think you're implying that the effective unemployment rate may be the same, I don't think you can. So with disability, Norway is super Social compared to Sweden, and still has lower unemployment. Especially with near identical employment rates, kicking people off disability should put some back to work, I can't imagine Sweden is trying to get actual disabled people to do work they can't, Sweden's disability reform appears to have happened in 2008. Curious what Norway's working rate is compared to the rest of Europe, because unemployment is relatively very low.
  12. @Carl-Richard I'm not familiar with Norwegian industry, I knew it was heavy in natural resources but through briefly reading it appears oil and the sovereign wealth fund are the largest generators of income in Norway. Wouldn't it make sense to tax wealth in the case where your country's revenues are primarily from your country's natural and collective resources? You're worried about oil and finance barrons moving, lol.
  13. "Norwegian economy increased in the first quarter – SSB May 15, 2025 · Mainland Norway's GDP grew 1.0 per cent in the first quarter of 2025,"
  14. Unemployment in Norway is low, wasn't the big tax increase in 2022/2023? Can't find anything other than .85 to 1.1% increase then, you said there were multiple increases. The un-named chart below is Norway.
  15. You said the effect would be short or midterm, 3 years is into midterm. "Jul 24, 2025 · Unemployment Rate in Norway averaged 4.07 percent from 1983 until 2025" "https://www.dyingeconomy.com › what-is-a-good-unemployment-rate.html What is a Good Unemployment Rate? - dyingeconomy.com As a general rule of thumb, the natural rate of unemployment has tended to average around 5% in normal times, and this is a reasonable estimate of"
  16. No you're not, you're arguing that the conservatives false premise about job loss is true when it's not. The wealth tax exists, unemployment is low......
  17. "Sweden: income and payroll taxes) for a single worker at the average wage was 42.6%. Norway: The tax wedge for the same single average-wage earner was 36.0% " "Norway collected corporate tax revenue equal to 9.7% of GDP in 2021. This is largely because it charges a much higher tax rate on oil and gas extraction, with an effective corporate income tax rate of 78% on these activities. Sweden collected much less from corporate taxes, with revenue equal to 3.0% of GDP in 2021. " "Sweden does not have a wealth tax, and double the unemployment rate." Norway has low unemployment.
  18. There's no limit on wealth. Actually, they're likely to get more wealthy because of the tax system and government programs.
  19. Ya, my argument is that you don't want those companies jobs. It's not a zero sum game. "Sweden has a significantly higher unemployment rate than Norway, with Sweden's rate around 8.3% to 8.5% as of July-August 2025, while Norway's rate fell to 4.5% in July 2025. "
  20. Not true, your argument is based on the monopoly these corporations have on your country, and the hostage effect they're eliciting from it, therefore a logical person would want businesses that don't threaten a hostage crisis.
