A few years ago when the $ was worth more it cost maybe 10$, but its the low value of the dollar vs the NOK that make it seem expencive. We dont pay in $ when we buy our pizza.

You're not reading it thoroughly.

(An economic study) indicated that when disposable income was adjusted for cost of living, Scandinavians were the poorest people in Western Europe.

A teacher makes 50k a year? Maybe.. im not sure what they make.

That means a teacher in Norway can only afford 100 pizzas a year. How do you stay alive? Welfare?

First of all its 1000 not 100.
Welfare? We work around here funked, can't get welfare to get pizza. Do you get welfare for pizza in Aztlan?

We may be poor funked but at least we are allowed to see nipples!

I did some calculations, and a large pizza at a resturant costs 28$ and about 30$ delivered to my house. Last year I made 121666,- USD in wages and I got 8333,- USD from my shares in the family business.

I work in the family business. Its a machine shop that makes lots of little wired bits in all kinds of metal and plastic that are not made in enough quanities that warrants mass production. usually 1 to 1000 copies of the same item. I have 10 thumbs so I dont do any of the manufacture myslef, I do office stuff.

I thought it was $50 per slice?

I guess if Norwegians want to have as much disposable income (aka economic freedom) as we do, they will "just have to learn to work for their wealth ... which may take some getting used to."
