About this listen

This is an article I had published in The American Spectator on May 8th 2023.

The article argues that Norway's social democracy is grappling with a concerning increase in disability claims and an entitlement culture. A significant portion of the population relies on government financial aid, with a growing number of individuals on disability leave. Psychiatric disability rates are skyrocketing, and retirees are selling their homes to cope with higher taxes and reduced retirement payouts. The acceptance and normalization of relying on social services have led to a surge in disability claims, even among those without significant medical conditions. This trend has fostered a sense of entitlement among the younger generation, placing an additional strain on the system.
