They just met in the previous sentence. It sounds weird to "grab the attention" by holding some kind of sexual implication for a single sentence.

Instead, I read it as a thankfulnes of the hospitality. If I were to crash at some strangers place, I wouldn't be surprised if I was to sleep on the couch or sone improvised solution. Getting an actual bed for a crash night sounds like a good sign of hospitality.

I'm so happy to have grown up in a country where not learning to cook isn't an option.

As a Norwegian, how can I support?

My experience is from Norway where the taxes on the rich is balancing on a line. A lot of rich Norwegians have already moved to Switzerland to avoid annual taxes on their wealth. I would expect to see something similar if USA introduced reasonable taxes, unfortunately.

I fully agree on putting on Bluey. It's so good.

But could this really be done? As far as I've understood, billionaires typically don't have a billion liquidized and ready for spending. Rather, their value is distributed in ownership of several companies. How would the 100% taxes on ownership in companies be applied?

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see it work, but I feel like it's a lot more complicated than stated. And if a good way of applying those taxes would be introduced, I'm sure the billionaires would either find new ways to make the money untouchable or personally move to a country with looser tax laws.
