I’m just guessing but could it be Italians driving cars registered in San Marino because the taxes are lower there than in Italy?

Finnish people also have tons of guns, and I think we’re also the most religious Nordic country (though they’re all largely atheist/agnostic)

smh we’re the Americans of the North

Also apparently there was a survey supposed to detect unconscious racism against black people and I remember Finland was the most racist in North Europe so yeah it does sound like America.

Maybe since outside of Reykjavik it’s very rural? If you live in the city you maybe have a car maybe not. If you live in the country on a farm you have 5.

this is true, except it’s more like everyone has a car, the PMC people in Reykjavík have at least two and rural people have cars too.

most of the urban infrastructure is built up after the second world war. So it’s made for cars.

The cancer of neoliberalism took root after the collapse of the Soviet Union and made things worse. The current city officials are socdems though and they are trying to make things better.

The boomers are mad about it of course.

every year they talk about the feasibility of having a train from the airport to Reykjavík. Maybe in 2050 or something.
