Akkurat nå bygges det et stort datasenter på en tomt midt i Oslos viktigste byutviklingsområde, tett på kollektiv, Økern sentrum og store boligområder. Hvorfor? Fordi tomten ligger v en motorvei.

A pizza representing our economy is sitting on the table. A rich white guy labeled “Top 1%” gets a slice that looks to be about 85% of the pie. A white lady labeled “Merely wealthy” gets a slice that looks to be 13% or so. A black lady labeled “upper middle class” has a slice that’s about 2%. A frowning guy labeled “lower 50%” has a few crumbs on the table, not even a slice.

The captions say:
How America’s economic pizza is sliced per capita. This is not a joke.

Donald J. Trump « *
@realDonaldTrump
I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with
President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that
Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel
to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons
during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately
thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel
Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time,
3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of
the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian
Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will
be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower
prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers,
and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and
important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood,
that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your
attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
