I genuinely think that the anti-Europe sentiment in the current US government and libertarian spaces is because European countries manage to do this and more, and remain competitive in the global economy, while the US tells its citizens it "can't afford" public healthcare or student loan relief.
- sgarland 2y agoOf course it is. It’s the same reason the media touts the horror stories of lengthy wait times for public healthcare, while ignoring the fact that having the theoretical choice without the means is worse.

- mytailorisrich 2y agoEconomic growth in Europe has stalled since the 2008 financial crisis and the EU is falling behind the US in terms of GDP. Public healthcare systems are under pressure because of aging population and increasing difficulty to finance them because of those economic issues. But apart from that it is "competitive"... Flip side is that the US are much richer so could afford to have much more then they have now.
