I’ll bet many Danes are shopping in Germany. This could kill Danish retail.
Too bad the article doesn’t mention the causes of the disparities. I’m guessing taxes.
100% luxury taxes on things like, oh, cars don’t help the CPI of Denmark much...
Some years ago I had a conversation with a soon to-be-retired co-worker (also a diehard lib but a nice guy). He was a world traveler (currently lives in China), and I asked him what country he’d like to retire to if he could. He said Norway. According to him, Norway was the best country in the world. I asked him why. He said because the government does so much for the people. I asked him if he then was going to retire to Norway. He said no. I asked him why not if Norway was the best country in the world. He said “ because it’s too expensive to live there.” I then asked him why he thought it was the best country in the world if it was too expensive. He became exasperated with me and walked away.
