You should move to canada. My friend did out of college. He lives in Atlanta now. He said it’s too expensive there.

He basically said he could live in a small apartment the rest of his life, or come back here and buy a house. Which he did.

I think they have accepted the globalist / Soros agenda of you will own nothing and like it. I think they put on a brave face because they know they can't do anything about it. But if you were to get a true honest answer I doubt they would say they are happy.

Family in rural CAN and ATL, one getting married said new house are being built, but just crappy construction and will be worthless over time. May have to leave ATL for a job where housing is affordable for raising family. They are looking at CAN for place to raise family affordably.
Big cities are expensive and are not country dependent. Living in TOR is similar to living in NYC in housing and other living costs. ATL is a step down but growth in ATL and NASH has eliminated lower cost of living a decade or two ago.
Rural US and rural CAN are affordable but young folks don't want either.

I’ve spent a few weeks in Stockholm, and it’s a nice town, and very safe. But they still don’t live like Americans. You won’t own a 2500 square foot home with four bedrooms and three and a half baths. You’ll live in a tiny house or townhome with one full bath and maybe a half bath. The furniture will be tinkatoy stuff that you’d expect in a college dorm. And your car would be…well, you wouldn’t have a car.
Would I rank Sweden number 1? If every American state was a country every single one would be ahead of Sweden.

The same ones who want us to be like Nordic countries are the ones who insist our borders should be open to the third world.

Most countries in the world are not diverse. So there must be something else going on here…

well for starters, people that talk off camera know that isn’t going to happen. as to why they don’t pay, why would they? we don’t ask them to

Or maybe they’re just actually happy because their government actually gives a frick about them? Tends to happen when the government doesn’t put corporations in front of its own citizens

This is a non-existent circumstance anywhere not named Bhutan…and it’s changing there as well.
How much have you travelled outside of the USA?

Socialism. It's NOT coming to America. We're much closer to the rope than the sickle. Sick and tired of you leeches.

it’s also a hilarious suggestion when describing governments forcing migration upon an unwilling populace, including the european left. they just don’t have the latitude to say it out loud. if the reasons as Awgaustafag laid out(birth rate) are the driving factor for mass African migration, then by definition the government cares more about corporations than its citizens

Sweden's top personal income tax rate of 52.3 percent is comparable to Canada's top rate of 53.5 percent, but Sweden's top rate applies to income starting at roughly US$62,000
Sounds pretty rough to me.

Americans have been divided over race since the beginning even with ample evidence that it is not much of a factor in anything
So, give us criminal %'s in US based off race.
It's a HUGE factor & being soft on illegals & hardened criminals is a major problem in the US.

geez, I wonder why continental europe wasn’t divided on race in 1825

Socialism
Dumb buzzword for people who are brainwashed into thinking government working the way it’s supposed to is somehow bad. Social Democracy is still capitalism with a free market which is what the Nordic nations mainly subscribe to. Meanwhile America is far closer to an oligarchy where the majority of benefits go to corporations which is thanks to lobbying. Healthcare, Oil and Gas, Pharmaceutical Companies, and even Colleges all participate in the racket to buy off politicians and media outlets to scare the shite out of the public into where the current system is the norm and anything different is big evil socialism. The irony of course being one could call the current system socialism for the rich
