….and we have billioners too… NOVO Nordic, LEGO (Kirk) MÆRSK…and so on…🇩🇰🇪🇺 and we do not forget or hide the fascists that we’re here 80 years ago… #fightfascism
The Democrat platform should be to implement the Scandinavian social safety net. These are the happiest countries in the world. Let us make ourselves happy. Why is happiness not an acceptable goal of our government? It’s in our Constitution!
I have voted straight blue for over 30 years and will continue to do so. That said, Americans on average do not take care of their own health and are too fat. Free health care won't work in those conditions.
Yes, very much. But we'd have right-wing billionaires financing media propaganda about how some welfare queen is milking the system. And that because of this outrage, middle-class tax dollars are being wasted.
And of course the selfish and paranoid middle class will believe it.
And to pay for it, END THE TRUMP TAX CUTS, END THE TAX LOOPHOLES & START PROSECUTING THE 1% FOR TAX EVASION! THEN WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR IT!
Expanding Social Security into a national pension system should be at the top of the left’s agenda, it would be hugely popular. Most people understand a guaranteed income until you die is better than a 401K savings account which could also be wiped out in an economic downturn if invested heavily.
My kid is there for work right now and on day 2 he said he was ready to move there. I spent a year in Sweden as an exchange student and I whole heartedly agree that Scandinavia has it over the US 💯
And remember that the next time you hear some Maga brainless person griping about how high taxes are in Europe Taxes are high for a reason: they’d rather not live in a place that’s nasty and brutish…
Yes and they aren’t opposed to paying higher taxes, including wealthier people, to achieve that piece of mind and reduction of anxiety! That also reduces their wealth gap to sane levels!
Hi, everyone. In Denmark, health care & universities are not free, they are paid for thru taxes. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely a better system. The rest of the list is true.
But but but how do they tell the people they don't matter there? I mean our government wants us healthy but cuts Medicare to millions. They want us to work but refuse to pay a living wage. They want us to have babies but take away women's healthcare. Our govt. beats us down while others lift up.
That can happen if we stop giving tax breaks to billionaires, and stop spending insanely huge sums of money on the military budget etc. A little bit of the subject, but we most definitely need an upgrade to our infrastructure. The 🇺🇸 say they are the richest, country in the world. Then show it.
Yes and can the UK steal these policies as well, please. Als, until we revert our food and farming standards so they match EU food & farming regulations, we need meat labelled prominently with country of origin so we can avoid those nasty US additives etc.
This is why I always laugh when Americans say they have the best country on earth. It isn’t and even the UK has free health care. It’s time you forced a big change and demand a civilised society.
We pay our taxes and that funds our health & educational system etc. When i say we, its all of us. Capitalism is not a freeride to scam and cheat, capitalism is the freedom to make whatever money you want unhindered, but making sure you retain the system which makes that possible.
Socialism is the system behind all paying together for everything even when they're not dependent on it right now.
Capitalism is when the rich pay a lot less + are those who gain the most profits of this social system.
No capitalism is when everything is on private hands and socialism is when its in everybody's hands. Both has negative and positive sides. There is a middle road and that is called a social democracy, most of Europe has this element and it's the reason of our success, living standards and happiness.
Your country spend half of his federal budget on guns et bombs.
Your orange criminal is destroying all public services so his friends the billionaires can make a profit.
Your country could have all this and more but you are so paranoiac about "socialism" that you refuse everything remotely lefty
You’re talking about my country, and the problem here is obsession with money, greed and power. My mother is a Dane and I have always loved her country for their culture, traditions and quality of life.
It's my opinion that the average American deserves a lot better than what they are being subjugated to. Simply inforce paying your tax on the rich and companies. What can be more patriotic then supporting the growth of your people and thus your nation?
1. Nothing is free, and #ACAB includes the IRS.
2. Americans are less healthy so healthcare costs more.
3. Our healthcare system is okay. It's the insurance system that sucks.
4. Minimum wage is always $0 (unemployed) which is why we need UBI rather than minimum wage laws.
Every aspect of life in the USA is rigged to benefit the rich while the people suffer.
Why have a country at all if the vast majority are oppressed?
Time to have a real conversation about Blue States leaving the USA to make their own country that works for us.
I hope folks are listening. If you allow orange hitler to take over you will fucked. Everything will be taken away from you. How does that sound? Run as far away from orange hitler and fidiot vance.
And we are a far richer country than Denmark on a total income and per capita basis. That means we have the wealth and economies of scale in the US to have it as least as good or better than people in Denmark have it. It’s just a matter of priorities.
Just visited Denmark a few weeks back and can confirm! The vibe in Copenhagen was like if Disneyland was an entire country! Joyful, welcoming, full of whimsy and magic!
OK i'm Danish and we have problems to. We have some stupid people who wants the American way. So can we deport them to you. So those people can have a great stupid life in the USA.
Oh I don’t doubt it. “Dumb” is like a weed, it’ll grow everywhere it can take root. But just take pride that after a quick 4 day trip, my daughters were absolutely ready to drop everything and move there.
This same picture, with minor variations, describes all the Nordic countries. And it is certainly not communism; it is Nordic common sense, practicality, and humane thinking. Having lived as neighbors of the SU in the last century, we have a good understanding of that too and its worthlessness.
Not unlike most West European countries. Most of those take relatively good care of their citizens, still. However, Americanitis Reaganotis has been spreading since Reagan and Thatcher preached the "free market" model.
For years, I've been asking why aren't we looking at other countries, for their solutions to homelessness (that work), prisons( that work) & of course health, care.Also, all schooling ideas, work place incentives, etc.
The list goes on.
We continually keep doing things that don't work

And if you're rich, you can buy access to private hospitals, if you so choose. That's how 'communist', we are here... 😉
And - if the waiting list for your surgery is too long, the state pays for surgery in private hospitals. Either at home or abroad...
Pretty nice 🇩🇰
Fat fingered it again

And of course the selfish and paranoid middle class will believe it.
However;
Common sense isn’t a Republican trait.
Pensions collapsed under Reagan and the Republicans because corporations wanted to increase their cash flow.
