The real issue is that we have a rapidly aging workforce and there's not enough young people to replace them. With the average age of parents raising, the gap is getting larger. In the 50s it was 16 workers for every 1 retired. The 70s, 5:1. That number is now almost 2:1. This is bad. Very bad.
Higher bar for jobs. Lower wage for entry level. Later retiring age. Higher need for migrant and seasonal workers.

I'm not sure if people are suggesting that oil itself is a magical solution or if they're suggesting that having exclusive access to an extremely profitable resource (oil) enables a country with a tiny population to make socialism work.
I have a strange feeling that if oil became worthless Norway would quickly stop doing socialism well
Sweden is fairly unique as it's economy wasn't destroyed by WWII, and it's stance on banking, foreign exports, and foreign ownership has enabled it to make massive profits. But the economy is seriously struggling today. The average home loan takes 100 years to pay off.
Finland economy replaces oil with timber and an extremely educated population. Both of which are not sustaining the model well as the country is in recession. The timber industry isnt producing sustainable profits like it used to. The debt-to-GDP ratio is extremely high. The highly educated population is leaving and people don't typically immigrate to Finland.
So arguably the model isn't working anymore, without something like oil to fall back on.
It's a mucus membrane, what else would it be?
A known side effect of Ibuprofen (and most NSAIDs) is sweating, so the faster release tabs that aren't in your system as long and thus clear out faster, dont have that aide effect... maybe
For using msbuild or vsbuild to build C projects.

When cocaine usage first exploded, it was almost entirely in "laborers, youths, black people, and the urban underworld". Most of the early history of its usage is associated with non-whites and lower class peoples. Making it illegal worked for a long time until the cocaine boom happened and then it became popular with disco and rock, but again, still mostly used by non-whites. It wasn't until crack became a thing that the racial divide became more clear - rich whites got the clean cocaine, everyone else got addicted to crack.

The switch to being heavily used by the rich white class is a "relatively" recent development.
