Almost all of Europe has far more socialist policies than America. Most of them are finding that free stuff for all works only when all are willing to work for it, which makes it an oxymoron. Free is not really free. Many Americans are finding that the more government interferes, the more come out of their pockets. The working class is tired of it, hence Trump. What is really funny is that when college students, most of whom have been highly indoctrinated by liberal professors, have what the free programs will really cost them in the future explained to them in simple terms, they find they are against them after all. Most of them are not really stupid, just misled.newnewnewbie wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 8:06 amThat is so amusing regarding places like Denmark, cause the population there are very heavy drinkers and smokers. In environmentally clean little Denmark, if you look closely around public places, they are littered with disgusting cigarette buds on the ground,
And as for the social liberal 'flexicurity' model.. as it is officially named, it is under severe pressure, and is projected to falter from an aging population, and so be unable to finance itself in the late 2030's
So now they are raising the retirement age to almost 80 years old. And as the Muslims grow in numbers due to having far more kids than the locals, as well as being unemployed and uneducated, it's a recipe for disaster, as in the rest of Europe, it might just turn into wholly muslim nations in a few decades.
Just a few days ago there was war like scenarios in Copenhagen from muslim anger raised by a far right winger who was being disrespectful towards the Quran in public, to challenge the right to freedom of speech. And so the police was robbed their Easter vacation, instead being targeted by cobblestones and molotov cocktails by a sizeable and very autonomous group of lowlifes.

When will the majority of Americans realise that having a huge economy, although making you big, doesn't necessarily make you smart or clever. Just look at the US health service and those it leaves behind.
I am personally sick to the back teeth of right wingers constantly winging about 'free' healthcare.
Healthcare is never free. It's all based on insurance contributions. The difference between a progressive country (Finland, the UK etc) is that it is a national insurance scheme: contributions paid by all wage earners, as opposed to many private insurance companies. The right wing see unfairness iin this as they did when they were told that they couldn't use children to clean chimneys or work in factories anymore. Excuse given? Because they won't be contributing to society and will just sponge off those that do.

Americans are among the most generous people in the world. What we don't like is being told we need to provide things for people who don't want to work and want everything given to them for free. As far as child labor, America was not the first, and certainly not the only country guilty of that. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Or people who live in glass houses... What every country I have seen, or heard about, are havng problems with, is sustaining free healthcare for all on the backs of the workers. Finland even tried giving a minimum wage to people who didn't work at all. That is history now.Aseriousman wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 11:59 amWhen will the majority of Americans realise that having a huge economy, although making you big, doesn't necessarily make you smart or clever.

Are you a proponent of bringing back Hoovervilles?
The people that lived in those places didn't contribute either, and they were given a very hard time for it.
Remember?

I am in favor of "No work, no eat" for all able bodied citizens, and throwing out those who aren't citizens and don't have visas.

The people of Finland live longer than we do and like the rest of the modern world pay half of what we pay here in the US. They are not letting coroporate profits dictate non nutritious meals be placed on the menus at school. You don't seem to want to talk about that. Always that Fox opinion just spewing out of yer gob.
Freedom is not a state. It is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau.. Freedom is a continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.-John Lewis

Yeah I am all for that. Huge starvation camps for all the imbeciles who are replaced by automation. We don't need them, so let them perish. And as the supermarkets throw out tons of genetically modified unsold items into trash containers with security locks, we can all be proud of how capitalism seem to solve all our societal problems, in the most efficient ways.
Bye bye losers.. the future is ours, and they will be dead.

It is amazing the amount of jobs, skilled and unskilled, that are still available with all the talk of automation. All anyone has to do is look in any paper or go on the internet and if internet is not in your home any library provides it free of cost. Excuses are like assholes, everybody has one. If all else fails there is plenty of wilderness with untapped resources for anyone willing to work a little bit...

Yeah, you can always start up your own megafarm somewhere in the boonies, you're right, just claim the land and get a few John Deers with satellite engineering, spray it good with Monsanto to keep it proper looking, I guess it's the way if you have no choice. Or open an automated slaughterhouse perhaps, or gelatine production, I hear that's all the rage, as almost anything organic, road kill, euthanized dogs and cats from shelters,, it all can be brolied down to this popular useful remedy.
Gonna go get some gummy bears now, the kids just love e'm. Cheers!
