How Novo Nordisk is transforming a Danish town/Denmark

[lfromnj]

Novo Nordisk is already reshaping Denmark’s economy. The country’s economy grew 1.9 percent last year, among the fastest in Europe and all thanks to the pharmaceutical industry, led by Novo Nordisk. Without it, the economy would have stagnated.

Im honestly tempted to say we should actually do price controls here as retaliation for the big tech rules Europe has against us. Inefficient but the Europeans must learn

Who hurt you?

It’s really weird reading about a town which have gone through some hard time thanks to its loss of ferry route to Aarhus, and now thanks to major corporation expanding its production see new growth and think “how do we hurt those people”?

Nothing against that town but I’m against European companies taxing our tech companies through unfair regulations that basically only apply to them.

In that case the easiest way to hurt Novo Nordisk is to eat healthy and work out.

Ooh, isn't that a bit "American-ist"?

Here’s my perspective

In general the massive growth of Novo Nordisk have also had some interesting aspect on how Denmark see itself. Denmark have traditional been dominated by mid-sized companies, which meant we adapted fast and they had limited individual influence on the government (Maersk being the major exception). But now we deal with the rise of several major global companies, which have changed their political influence, but also make Denmark heavier influenced by market fluctuations.

The goal isn't to hurt Novo Nordisk. The goal is to hurt your country until you guys flip on the dumb tech regulations that hurt our country.

I do get that it easier to make the state do it, than eating less and working out.
