Silfrið: Búið að byggja nánast ekki neitt í tíð ríkisstjórnarinnar.

Staðreynd: Íbúar á íbúð nánast jafn margir nú og í byrjun árs 2017 þrátt fyrir mestu fólksfjölgun frá landnámi og í Evrórpu síðustu ár.

In their annual meeting, our Governors identified three themes—climate and nature, productivity and innovation, security and resilience— as the most critical focus areas for our operations.

Fjármálastöðuleiki Seðlabankans er miklu áhugaverðara efni en það hljómar. Tvennt sem greip:
1) Meira byggt í fyrra en var spáð og spá um miklar nýbyggingar í ár. (Hætta á samdrætti árið 2025+ þó ekki farin)
2) Lægstu skuldir íslenskra heimila í 2 áratugi

Great news! Sweden is now a member of NATO. Having Sweden as an ally strengthens the Alliance as a whole and further cements Nordic cooperation on security and defence.

Russia was forced to attack Ukraine because Ukrainians wanted to join NATO?

NATO promised it would not expand to the east but later broke this promise?

It will take me less than five minutes to prove with facts that both statements are false.

Two years today since the start of Russia’s brutal full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The world must stand united against Russian aggression. Iceland’s commitment to Ukraine is unwavering, concrete and long-term. 🇮🇸 🇺🇦

The Government of 🇮🇸 will put forward a five-year plan to Althingi to cement Iceland‘s long-term commitment of support to Ukraine in its fight against Russia‘s illegal invasion. Iceland continues to support Ukraine on its path to Euro-Atlantic integration.

Iceland was the first country to recognise Lithuania's independence in 1991. Icelanders were unafraid to stand with us against Russia, inspiring the world to follow suit.
Today is the anniversary of that brave decision, and every year we remember to say 'Takk, Island!' 🇱🇹🇮🇸

Umfang ríkisútgjalda er ekki náttúrulögmál. Við Íslendingar stöndum frammi fyrir því að umsvif hins opinbera, ríkis og sveitarfélaga, eru með því mesta sem gerist á heimsvísu. Þetta er staðan þrátt fyrir að lífeyris- kerfi okkar sé fullfjármagnað, framlög okkar til varnarmála eru…

Algjörlega meiriháttar árangur. Til hamingju laufey 💪🏼
