🔫 Shots

Halloween night resulted in what police described as serious chaos, including one confrontation where officers nearly discharged their firearms. The unrest followed a week of grimmer news: a baby has died after an attack and authorities admitted that safety regulations were missing before a separate fatal accident occurred. Oslo and Bergen cut public transport prices today, providing a rare moment of relief for the daily commute. It is unlikely to pacify everyone; the Vegan Society is suing the state to have veganism legally recognized as a belief system, while residents near the capital are protesting the opening of a new explosives factory in their neighborhood. Housing frustrations have found a specific target in Bergen, where a single owner from Cyprus has acquired nine entire apartment buildings for use as short-term rentals. Meanwhile, SpaceX is lobbyng for a meeting with officials to discuss Starlink coverage for the Arctic, though the government has yet to put them on the calendar.
