How to have an epic day…

Starter: Pickled garlic, pickled chilis, fresh parmesan slices, French butter, oatcakes. Glass Minervois. Chicken roasting in oven w/ lemon, spuds and half-peeled shallots.

Jante Law: Sounds like American Corporatism; If this is real, I would create severe challenges in Scandinavia
The Jante Law (Danish and Norwegian: Janteloven; Swedish: Jantelagen; Finnish: Janten laki; Faroese: Jantulógin) is a pattern of group behaviour towards individuals within Scandinavian communities, which negatively portrays and criticises individual success and achievement as unworthy and inappropriate.
