because they don't know the data all that well,

The Scandinavian system works well because
- They're smaller nations
- They are capitalist
- One Culture
- More jobs than people, so theres good money going around
- High amount of natural resources

Norway for example, is sitting on the largest pile of oil in the world,
Price per person would make every single Norwegian a multi-millionaire

but instead of giving that money to everyone, they're using it to pay for social programs

826 billion dollars of oil

for 5 million people

I doubt Americans would oppose to that model, if they sat on a resource worth trillions, so they don't have to pay for those extra costs in taxes

besides, here in the Netherlands we have the scandinavian system,

Our healthcare is appaling

they're cutting cost for pensioners, and childrens care, and want to instead implement aids medicine on it,

ours is even sexist, I have to pay for some medicine what women don't have to pay for 😒 no joke

Would that be solved if the US found say, a huge oil deposit within their borders

Id imagine the Norweigians are not exploiting the oil due to well, nature preservation or stuff like that

no, because in the US an oil company would claim it, so its private ownership, you'd have one company becoming very rich

Wouldn't you need to have a public oil project find a deposit with the value of tens of trillions?

Called it

yes

Sounds unlikely

but the difference is, that in Norway, all land is considered part of the Norwegian state, so they can claim rights

in the US, you can buy the land

You can buy land in a way

Because land owners still have to pay property taxes

Whats stoppping the norwegians from digging that oil

Which, as far as I'm concerned, are basically land rental fees

norwegians are digging that oil

but thats the reason the scandinavian system works so well for them,

They have a small population, high natural resources

so they can easily afford social programs

America can not, because its too big, too unorganised, and doesn't have government for-profit corporations

Well thats opening some new avenues

Also, some states are run worse than others.

You have red and blue states.

yes, but its also a false comparison

you should compare US to the EU,

Not to one small country

EU also has differently run states/countries
Different levels of wealth in them, people, progress, political majorities

And now some states aka countries are run worse than others

TGI Fridays

what is it with all these countries using oil to subsidize their social programs? fucking hell
