Yea, if you’re in a church basement, stick with the Swedish meatballs and lingonberry sauce and you can’t go wrong.

Norwegians are very accommodating passive people

Which made it very easy for Quisling and Crew in 1940.

This is required to ration meat.

Precisely. Don't need ration cards anymore.

“it’s only fair to point out that many of us already hand over all our purchase data to the supermarkets themselves in the form of loyalty programs”

We at least have a choice in that matter. I choose not to participate, and I pay a premium for that, but it’s my choice.

I lol’ed at your “church basement” comment. Somehow the imagery is vivid.

” Given the rise in identity theft in Norway,

Pure coinkydink that the rise in crime is related to the rise in importing third world rapefugees.

Doing so.....

“You’ve been consuming too many calories. Your card is now restricted.”

“You bought meat, exceeding your monthly allowance. Your card is now restricted.”

“You purchased more alcohol than permitted by the number of adults / their weight in your household. Your card is now restricted.”

“You purchased items made by bigoted companies. Your card is now restricted.”

That’s why.

Privacy advocates and the supermarkets themselves are unhappy.

That's because Norwegians have things, such as: food, clothing, shelter, heartbeats...
Once they no longer have those things, they'll be happy.

“…The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the Heart of every Federation city. I have always been awed by them, to think that every single facet of every life is regulated and directed from within! Our books, our music, our work and play are all looked after by the benevolent wisdom of the priests…”

“So they can adjust your gov’t benefits and pension based on what you buy. Fruit and Vegas - full pay. Cigs and beer - sorry, you’re on your own.”

I worked in Norway for a few years in the seventies. A pack of cigarettes was extremely expensive even then. It is worse now. About 14 us dollars. It was most odd to watch young girls roll cigarettes in a bar. Loose tobacco was much cheaper.

I was there in 2005, working on an RCCL cruise ship. VERY expensive, beer in a bar = $10, pair of good but non-designer jeans $100, ordinary business shirt $60. My impression was that minimum wage was about $25 at the time. Still.

Why is SSB doing this? SSB claims they want a less time-consuming way of collecting and analysing household consumption statistics in order to inform tax policy, social assistance and child allowance.

You’d never know that these submissive people were descended from fierce Vikings.
