@AlanAPartridge Is that supposed to mean something...?

A relative of my partner lost her job due to DOGE. She has no Danish heritage but does have at least one PhD in virology. She now works for the Danish ministry of fisheries. She is delighted with Denmark and will probably never return to the US.
Lol

There are people here who scream about socialism but don't see our social programs as that.

@SomeMichGuy Or sports stadiums built with taxpayer money.

When Trump claimed that Canadians would have better health care if they became the 51st state – I had a good laugh. But if he starts claiming that the Danish will have better health care and better education if they join the US – I’ll bust a gut laughing – but that’s OK because I have Universal health car. Cheers!

Can't compare a country with 6 million people (Denmark) with one that has 340 million (USA).

@graphite So? It’s still the happiest place in the world to live.

@iamthe99 I thought that was Disneyland?

from AI Overview:

While Denmark is often ranked among the happiest countries in the world, there's evidence of significant unhappiness and mental health challenges, particularly among young people. While the country has a robust welfare system and strong social support, factors like long, dark winters, social pressures, and the potential for loneliness can contribute to mental health struggles

@graphite Try telling the Disneyland “cast members” how happy they are.

@BrandNewMan Nah, my home country is just as good. And also, it's not America😮‍💨
@iamthe99 Perfect ..

Because they LOVE paying taxes at a rate that would have Americans in open revolt? 25% basic sales tax and some things even higher, just to start with.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@iamthe99 They get "free" nothing -- they pay for it via high taxes and a quick internet search comes up with the cost of living in Denmark being over 3% higher than the cost of living in the USA.
iamthe99 · M
@ChipmunkErnie 3% higher. OK. How much higher is the cost of healthcare in the US?
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@iamthe99 Not sure, but then I'm not sure if "cost of living" includes health care or not. If my sales tax more than tripled, though, I'd expect some damned good health care from it. But another search comes up with tax burden on Danes is more than triple that of total taxes on Americans (40+% vs about 16%). BUT I have the feeling that the Danish tax burden is spread much more evenly across the population than the US tax system allows.

Funny how bail-outs and subsidies to corporations and the super wealthy are not socialism. But any public programs that helps all the people are horrible socialism. Hmmm
