Feels almost unbelievable to hear that there still are people and companies standing up for their values and principles even in the face of losing profits or comfort. I thought that true western values had finally died and we were collapsing but this give a tiny sliver of hope at least.
norway doesn’t really count. they have too much independent wealth to need to play by rules set through bullying and abuse. and a natural solidarity because they don’t need to concern themselves with economical risks or worries.
in other words Norway has “fuck you money”
Kinda nice to see it used for once. Is that how it feels to like a billionaire?
and an uncomfortably short distance from Russia
So what does this teach us? Independent wealth is the end-goal!
So does Switzerland…
