@Dick Kickem I've got Macintosh plus running in the background with this now too

everyone seems to forget that their definition of socialism isn't what it actually is. denmark and sweden are not socialist countries. they have large social programs, but they are also highly capitalistic

woop

and their social programs are not working well for them now last i checked

No chill

yeah but we arent those countries

and denmark and sweden aren't doing that bad honestly

better than us

Yeah but you forget

so good enough

yeah

They have low populations

of rich people

false

America has high populations of poor/middle classes

"rich:

"rich"*

Lemme apply some of your logic

the issue is not our countries overall wealth, but the GINI INDEX

How would you know you don't even live in Denmark or Sweden???????

obviously

i've at least visited each

and stayed a while

and have close friends there

and i'm pretty into polsci

I'm stuck in New York state for the next 3 years

how would i know i dont live in those countries? because i live in the us...

at least

I've been to most scandinavian countrys, had a girlfriend from Finland for 2 years and lived with her for 2 months

and econ

The systems in Scandinavia work because of their low populations of skilled workers

highly educated people

thus the whole idea of college being cheap/free

it self-sustains

Yeah, but it wouldn't work in the US

why?

it would

similarly to how it didn't work here in the UK

how does it not work over there?

i hear good thigns

Because high populations of unskilled workers and a high saturation of bad degrees
