  • Thank You. I Am Trying To Stay True To The Games As Far As Descriptions. Yeah He's Got A Lot Of Firepower But He Will Need It In The Next Couple Of Chapters.
    Lol, you want to talk about the weather? Erm, well - it's very cold, oddly enough my city doesn't have any snow yet although all the neighbouring cities do... I imagine that has something to do with the disgusting amount of pollution we have here.
    I'm from Ontario. And yes, I've been to the States often, mainly to Buffalo but I've been to Washington D.C as well. :)
    Our health care sucks because of the waiting lists. Now and then we hear in the news about people with serious illness that could have been treated, die while waiting. I don't think it happens often, but it happens all the time that people have to wait for months and years for surgery. The patients are on sick leave while waiting.
    One good thing is that we have the right of 100% payment from the first day we are sick. The first days the employer has to pay, and then the state takes over the responsibility and pay the sick-leave-money (not sure what word to use). Instead of hiring more doctors, the state pay sick-leave-money to the patients while they wait for operation. Even though the employer doesn't have to pay the sick person's wage, they must find someone to replace the sick person, and it's not easy if it's a position that requieres special skills. For this reason, companies often pay for private health insurance.

    (I know my English isn't very good now, but I have to type this fast.)

    50 degrees F? That's not cold nor warm? Why freak out?
    32 F is 0 C (Celsius). We have around 0 C these days.
    Television licence. As you see it's very common in Europe. Norway is one of the more expensive, it's about $ 410 per year.

    We have many different car taxes, the one I mentioned is only for keeping the licence plates. This tax dates back to 1917, it was meant as a temporary tax on luxury. In those days, you had to be super wealthy to own a car. Norway was poor back then, and even if cars was somewhat affordable in USA, only very wealthy people could afford a car here, even "cheap" cars like the T-Ford. Of course owning a car is not any luxury nowadays, but they have kept the tax because they like to milk car owners.

    We have several taxes on new cars, not just VAT. Cars here are probably 3-4 times more expensive than identical cars in the US. What drives up the price is motor displacement tax, horsepower tax, CO2 emission tax, and probably a few other taxes. The worst tax is the displacement tax, so the average car here has a pretty small motor.

    I think the income tax can get as high as 60% or more for really high incomes.

    It's also a 28% tax on dividend and profits from the stock market or monetary market.

    I'll get on the health care now.
