So you speak for each and every Norwegian without asking, or looking up, their opinion first? How very monarchist of you!

News@lemmy.world•Kansas Schools Now Collect Phones at the Door – Spends $180K On Smartphone Lockers
5·10 days agoIt’s $180k just one school district. Not specified if the number of schools/students in this district is above or below the average, but a quick search tells there are 332 schools districts in Kansas.
First, obligatory disclaimer: I’m as anti-Trump as the next one, fuck that fascist turd. That being said let’s give them numbers a bit of context:
-
That figure is for all the time that Trump’s been in office, and in absolute terms is around $9.135T (as of May 2026, so a bit more now).
-
Some numbers for other presidents: Joe Biden $9.209T (+32%), Barack Obama $8.438T (+70.9%), George W Bush $4.218T (+72.6%), Bill Clinton $1.263T (+28.6%). Source.
-
At the current interest rate Americans are gonna pay $1T just in interests in 2026. That averages ~$250 per person, or ~$625 per tax payer a month.
-
Interest payments are forecast to double in the next ~10 years.
