New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Taxing Entrepreneurial Wealth: Evidence from
Norway, 2021-2025
Marius A. K. Ring
WORKING PAPER 35854|
DOl 10.3386/w35854
ISSUE DATE October 2026
Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021-2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an "exodus" of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times,
2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners' firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners' savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms.
Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms,…

The bill has been opened to feedback. Rather than dooming about the proposal, you can tell them exactly how you feel about the act here. ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet... With how much of an uphill battle Chat Control is having, you should never assume it's worthless to fight these draconian bills.

I mean it's broadly a shared theme in the mythologies of China, Japan and Korea. The main difference is interpreting what the rabbit is using his mortar for. The rabbit also appears in Meso American folklore.

Do Not Engage. The UK media are not in the business of presenting subcultures and minorities in a positive or even sympathetic light. If you are in any way outside the mainstream you are a potential target for the next moral panic.

He's not alone, much of English-language film discourse ignores everything east of Germany, barring a few East Asian films. This is rooted in deeper cultural and historical gaps, which is a broader problem.

maybe that's unfair. i think he'd say that he likes those movies to begin with because they reward that deeper thought, its not like he's ever been incapable of noticing symbolism in bad movies. like the "right now you're feeling helpless" scene in saw VI

I feel that's what's worn me.His new film reviews feel like low-effort engagement bait, lacking the depth he once had, cuz audience's bar is on the floor. Maybe it’s just us getting older, with his jaded tastes no longer aligning with mine.

YMS is interesting to me, like he's obviously in a different class than every popular film critic youtuber but that wouldn't be clear if you only watched his negative reviews. it's like he needs permission to intellectualize his criticism.

"Diabolus Sylvarum" - Unnumbered Print "Aino Kallas’s 1928 novel 'Sudenmorsian' tells the story of a woman who turns into a werewolf under the influence of the wolf-like Forest Spirit, Diabolus Sylvarum. In Finnish mythology, figures associated with wolves are often linked to vague gender."

It's their attempt to let people label a playlist as an educational course, like program tutorials, guides that teach you how to model stuff etc. But yeah, ripe for abuse for grifters to label their seminars as "courses".

Here's a concept I enjoy much more in retrospect: All animals have been released from zoos! Now humans have to fill in for them ...Sucks when you get stuck as one though 😏 #tfeveryday #tftuesday #tfsky #transfur

One subject slowly transforming into a dolphin, the other turning into a dinosaur, thinking "god damn gary stealing my dolphin duty again"

Panel showing the now fully-transformed dinosaur being told that they cannot transform back at the end of their shift, as the sun is setting:

"What do you mean?!"

"yeah, we can't find the reversal formula for your 'base' form, so you're gonna be stuck like this for now." "For how long?!"

"Until we get our next shipment"

"so, a day? A week??"

"oh, you really don't understand your situation, do you?"

Dinosaur at home conversing with parents in a very crammed space - with hole in the wall marking their entry into the interior.

"how did they lose something like that?"

"well, you know how terrible the new management is..."

"Still going on that hike?"

"I guess."

"..."

"..."

"You could've stayed outside --"

"IT'S COLD!"

Panel showing dinosaur on hike with mountains in distance, alongside 8 other people, carrying everyone's equipment, with small text pointing at the subject "TEMP EQUIPMENT COURIER"
