 We need to talk about state spending. 
 What is there to say that hasn’t already been said 
 Sundried limpet triscuit spread. 
 I was just thinking that = : ) 
 Sometimes you just have to get things off your chest. 
 You might be on to something.

 In Norway? What about it? 
 The way our governments waste money is truly shocking.

 The state is like a teenager using dads credit card for the first time and probably stole it 😁 
 We been talking about it for forever 
 The state spends way to much.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

        owner = msg.sender;
        fundingGoal = goal;

    function fund() public payable {
        require(amountRaised + msg.value <= fundingGoal);
        amountRaised += msg.value;
    }
    
    function withdraw() public {
        require(msg.sender == owner);
        msg.sender.transfer(amountRaised);
    }
} 
 We need to talk about state stealing. 
 🤣 
 Once you become a public employee you lose any interest in limiting taxes or spending.

I.e. what's best for the nation is at odds with what's best for you.

In Norway, 1/3 work for the government (so far). Much of Europe is the same.

There is no hope without #Bitcoin.
