"I look to Norway," noted Vera de Ladoucette

I have worked in the offshore oil industry here since 1988 and I fear for the day when the fields are dry(I will be dead) and the Norwegians have to go to work again.

It is terrible what the oil industry has done to this country's industrial base. It has all but disappeared due to too generous welfare benefits which make Norwegian industrial workers the highest paid and least productive in the world.

You never get something for nothing. Eventually it comes time to pay.
