For you guys that work on your own cars, wait til you see parts costs. A part I could get for $300 last year is $1000 now. It's gotten wild between Covid and tariffs. I really don't know what folks are going to do between the price of housing and transportation. And the gas tax has fully hit yet either.
damn what kind of vehicle you got?

Because you are wrong. OF course i'll dismiss it.

Name the one you want to try and duplicate. I'll wait patiently.
France, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, Taiwan... we're talking about healthcare systems, right? Of course this would likely mean that I'd be less wealthy cause my wife would in all likelihood make a lot less. But those healthcare systems are fine and efficient and you often get to see a specialist, depending on where you live and what health insurance you have, in say France than in America.

Name a country bigger than Texas. Next, compare the number of doctors per capita and their average salary compared to the other countries. Then compare the legal lawsuits.

It's really simple

So that’s the point. You wanna give up what you have for that “marginally better” healthcare?

let’s take Denmark for example

Their lowest tax bracket only pays about 8% effective taxes but that’s a very small portion of people percentage wise of the Danish population (around 10%). The next tax bracket is 44%. 44 17ing percent.

Denmark also has a strong sense of cultural pride. Very similar to what many here called nationalism.

86.1% of population is Danish
92% plus white

from ages 15 to 64 - 77% of their population works
From ages 15 to 64 USA - 71.5%

Just a few reasons this won’t work in the USA.

It won't work because the US isn't white enough and too few people work.

Got it.
