Europeans just don't know how to make money. We should ship some of our best Americans to Europe, replace their senior leadership and show them how to learn, and then migrate their capital to the United States, where it rightfully belongs.
- warent 6y agoI'm not sure if this is sarcasm, but many Scandinavian countries have apparently learned how to make enough money to provide some of the best public resources in the world, that make the USA look like a developing country
- hnnnnnnng 6y agoYeah by drilling oil wells and directing all the profits to the government. hahaa
- foobarian 6y agoTo be fair that was an Iraqi immigrant's idea.
- astrange 6y agoThat's only one of them. Sweden instead seems to be good at running clothing and furniture brands.
- redis_mlc 6y agoNo, Sweden is a basket case. Ikea's headquarters is actually in the Netherlands, and they use Lichtenstein for tax avoidance. Sweden already had one social welfare reset due to spiralling cots, and are on their second wave now. Because of uncontrolled economic migration, they will need another reset. Folks, socialism just doesn't work.

- throwawaysea 6y agoIn this case I think the poster of this comment is not starting a flamewar, but instead making the kind of claim this article's author made, to show how poorly it can read when it is made in the other direction.
- dang 6y agoIt probably starts the same flamewar either way.
