"Norway collected about $1.46 billion on its wealth tax in 2019. But the exodus of the wealthy will result in an estimated $594 million in lost revenue."

ie. Status quo for the Wealth Tax, that exists, is +1.46 billion, it was projected to increase by ca 10% due to the tax hike, but instead trends towards decreasing to 0.87 billion, ie a loss of 594 million vs current tax income from the (lower) wealth tax

If you are looking for alternatives Ambronite (local to Finland) ships both to EU and US. The taste should be quite neutral or nutty-ish, but I can't compare the taste to neither Soylent or Jake Shake since I haven't tried them.

Know more about EU set up but the reality is that there is a lot of infrastructure costs and some fraud as well (~4.04bsp @$101 average). So costs for ~$2000 in fees can be up to ~$400. Signature cards are not secure whereas EMV cards hit a 0.42bsp fraud rate ($148 average).

Of course still room for profit but the above numbers show why merchants are interested in EU fees and security.

No. Jolla is a bunch on ex- Nokia people who wanted to keep working on their then-current project.

Nokia allegedly started working on N1 when Microsoft deal went through.
