๐Ÿš‰ Trainless

Train travel came to a halt across much of the country as a national strike escalated, forcing the cancellation of nearly 700 departures. The industrial action impacted several key lines, leaving commuters to navigate significant disruptions to the network. Police have launched a manhunt following a double murder in Halden during a hunting trip. The father of the suspect described the incident as completely unexpected, while the individual in custody has so far refused to speak to investigators. The property market is currently moving at its slowest pace since the financial crisis, with home sales taking significantly longer. This cooling comes as the central bank warns of a fresh jump in inflation, and the government prepares a budget that includes a temporary ban on AI glasses and 120 million kroner for a public health chatbot.
