I'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 5y agoYeah by drilling oil wells and directing all the profits to the government. hahaa
- foobarian 5y agoTo be fair that was an Iraqi immigrant's idea.
- astrange 5y agoThat's only one of them. Sweden instead seems to be good at running clothing and furniture brands.
- redis_mlc 5y 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.
