Honestly everyone is just happier in Scandinavia.
I feel most of the innovation comes from the US though, but this isn't a disadvantage for the Netherlands because technology developed in the US percolates to them as well. They get the benefits without the downsides. Heck I remember reading about how more people own Tesla's their then here.
- sunbum 3y agoThe Netherlands are not in Scandinavia?
- corethree 3y agoOk, I meant Scandinavian influenced or Scandinavian-like countries.
- sunbum 3y agoWhat does this even mean.
- eviks 3y agoit means it's somewhere around that part of the world
- quickthrower2 3y agoRussia too?
- corethree 3y agoAgain please educate yourself: https://nordicperspective.com/facts/netherlands-scandinavia-connection https://nordicperspective.com/facts/netherlands-scandinavia-... Thank you.
- corethree 3y agoI guess you're just not very well versed in the region: https://nordicperspective.com/facts/netherlands-scandinavia-connection https://nordicperspective.com/facts/netherlands-scandinavia-... Please Read this for education. Then you can stop pretending there's no relationship between the two as if it's completely ludicrous that I would even compare the Netherlands and Scandinavia.
- Freedom2 3y agoWhy not type that in your original post then? Seems obvious to me. Perhaps there needs to be more US-like innovation in education where you were raised, or perhaps in the US overall?
- corethree 3y agoIt's a common mistake for people who don't live in Europe. For example, would a Europeans know the nuances between Northern CA and southern CA? https://seekscandinavia.com/netherlands-part-scandinavia/ https://seekscandinavia.com/netherlands-part-scandinavia/ Just read it.
- corethree 3y ago>Perhaps there needs to be more US-like innovation in education where you were raised I was raised in silicon valley. The heart of it all. Perhaps you should learn to respect others especially if that "other" person lives in the part of the world where you borrow all your technology and innovation from. You a software engineer? Thank silicon valley for your job.
- verinus 3y agowhich also has to do with distribution of wealth, where the US are especially bad at. just an example: you do not pay for education in europe, much less for childcare (in most countries), much less for health care and so on...
- chrisco255 3y agoEuropeans also don't pay for their own national defense, what a bargain.
- quickthrower2 3y agoElaborate
- chrisco255 3y agoHave you heard of NATO? https://nato.int/nato_static_fl2014/assets/pdf/2022/6/pdf/220627-def-exp-2022-en.pdf https://nato.int/nato_static_fl2014/assets/pdf/2022/6/pdf/22...
- quickthrower2 3y agoThere is a chart in there that disproves your point
- chrisco255 3y agoThe chart that shows about 90% of NATO's expenses is covered by the United States?
- dragonwriter 3y ago> The chart that shows about 90% of NATO's expenses is covered by the United States? It doesn't show “NATO expenditures” it shows defense expenditures by NATO members, which is a very different thing, and the US share it shows is a hair under 69% in the most recent year shown, which is not “about 90%”.
