Norwegian politicians wants the general public to take public transport while being driven in limos

Norwegian Health Minister, Bent Høie (H), don't want to allow for more public parking in the capital during the Coronavirus crisis, thus forcing the general public to take the risk of using public transport. The Health Minister himself, on the other hand, is driven around in a limousine payed for by the very same taxpayers...

The Norwegian Health Minister, Bent Høie, obviously care more about the health of the environment than of his fellow Norwegian citizens. Official predictions says up to 8,000 Norwegians will be killed because of the Coronavirus - how many because of this decision is anyones guess.

This sounds like a typical Commissar. I am too important to follow the rules I make for the sweaty masses. We also see this with the climate change people who fly private jets to luxury resorts to tell us how we are making too much CO2 and how we should pay them to run a cap-and-trade scam for us. I always counter with the suggestion that they stop exhaling to do their part to cut down on CO2 emissions.

The Norwegian Health Minister, Bent Høie, obviously cares more about the health of the environment then of his fellow Norwegian citizens. Today, official estimates is that up to 8,000 norwegians will be killed from Coronovirus, how many of these, I wonder, will be because of Bent Høie's decision. It is quite sad that we have such short-minded leaders in this country.

There are companies that shuttle people in limos, is that his private limo or a rental limo that hauls multiple people around like a Uber does. We can hire a limo here in the UP if you want too, pretty classy cars. They usually get more married people using their services than wealthy people, but I guess in the Big cities they have businesses that supply limo services.

Think again - 2 people died in Norway just today, from the Coronavirus, and that's just two weeks since the first reported infection (now there's almost 1,000 infected).

Wow, that sounds kind of excessive. They must piss off a lot of people over there, I bet those limos are bulletproof too.
