Ok, thanks for the explanation, in that case my perception is completely changed, and I think it is reasonable to expect help from the flight attendant. In my mind the car seat was just an extra piece stowed and to be used at destination, but I can see that is a dumb assumption.

I think that it is reasonable to expect the woman to check in the car seat and at least one of the carry-ons as baggage. I also think it is reasonable for the flight attendant and other passengers to expect the airline to enforce their rules on this, although maybe with more leniency now, but do not then expect extra service for breaking common curtesy.

While Vipps works well today, compared to MPESA it was developed when the market had already matured and you could rely on every user owning a smartphone. Telenor and DNB actually tried to release something similar to MPESA years before, but since the application had to be installed on the SIM card you had to be both a DNB and Telenor customer [1].

Vipps is not decoupled today, but has been merged with the e-identity (BankID) and e-invoicing (eFaktura) to form a monopoly behemoth owned by most banks in Norway with DNB as the largest non-majority owner.

Yes, it's complicated, and I'm not trying to defend any actions during the world war.

Only the notion that a country not in a hot war has no state secrets that can jeopardize security. Or just jeopardize the sitting government, this is a propaganda campaign after all.

The Germans invaded Norway by sea.

If you think bordering an invaded Norway, and Finland at war with the soviets is a stable situation where you neutrality will never be challenged, then I think you should consider some counterfactuals.

Any secret that would make them an interesting target, or aggravate a potential enemy, is a security threat.

The size of the US restaurant industry revenue in 2019 is "projected to total $863 billion in 2019 and equal 4 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product." [1]. Compared to $467 billion for the global software industry [2], or $19.1 for the global music industry [3].

I think there is some money to be made selling food.
