    I have to write a paper about Scandinavian corporate governance structures by midnight tonight, and I just don't wanna.

    Well that sounds like so much fun

    I got 2 pages in and had to throw in the towel. It'll be late. I can't process coherent thoughts on it right now.

    Two pages is better than none ..

    true. I got the overview and first section done. Tomorrow I just have to expand on the details.

    Can I ask why you have to write the paper? For work? Study?

    getting another masters degree. the paper is for Corporate Governance & Ethics.

    What is your degree in?

    Financial Economics

    The course is about how corporations are governed. The role of shareholders and the board of directors.

    Norway, and all of the Nordic countries, have a really unique model with some interesting features. For example, they require a board of directors to be at least 40% women (or men technically), companies over a certain size have to have an advisory committee elected by workers and shareholders that oversees the board, and employees elect either 1 or 2 of their colleagues to serve on the board.

    The results have been really good compared to the US. Lower levels of inequality, fewer scandals, and the highest number of Fortune 2000 companies per capital in the world. All really impressive.

    It seems to be a pretty good model. Don't know how Australia works. The US model is pretty poor though.

    Lower base rate than the US, 22% iirc. But fewer deductions and credits, I think net result is slightly higher effective corporate tax rate. Personal income tax is much, much higher.

    Makes sense.

    We are friends with a Swedish family and they bounce back and forth between the US and Sweden. They love Sweden but the person tax burden there is too heavy.

    You get what you pay for. Their government provides a lot more things than ours. Scandinavians are consistently all around happier than Americans.

    It's probably the Swedish Meatballs.

    Have you had them?

    Their Scandinavian, collective joy is quite understandable.

    Baker for wedding cake. Can't decide.

    I'll do it...

    Are you a Baker in the Galveston, Texas area?

    No...I'm in NYC, but I can take my best shot at baking you a cake and overnight it to you...

    Go for it!! :D

    I am just playing! That is so not my cake, we are simple and sweet. We actually found our baker this weekend! But thanks for the offer! I saw on your profile that you liked to cook! Awesome. :)

    this is more like our cake:

    That's nice! I prefer more simple cakes.

    This was ours:

    true story, my dad thought that "Hollister" was the name of a private school that lots of kids went to, for like, an unreasonably long time.
