This is wonderful and I would feel the same way if I were a citizen in Denmark. Unfortunately, in the US, people generally care only about themselves, not what is best for society. Take for example education. In the US, people go to university (paying way too much) with the dream to make big money. In Denmark, people are paid to university because your society understand the return value of highly educated citizens. It is best for society, then the individual. The shortsightedness of Americans and our societal structure annoys me to no end and makes me want to move to your great country. Danes walk the walk.

Exactly, and their student loans are literally a nightmare

@yvwe 888 It helps every person.

I would simply like to keep my freedom of choice, rather than politicians deciding on my healthcare and education.

@@speakeasyusa You still have choice. go to whatever doctor or school you want! We even have private schools you can choose to pay out of your own pocket if you are not satisfied with any public school in the country...... -You think our taxes are high... we think your healtcare bills, educational debts and job/wellfare securities and retirement plans are ludacris! :D

@@speakeasyusa Where do you get that you don't have a ''freedom of choice''? Like, you're not being forced to NOT pay for healthcare or for school in Denmark. The option is there if you want to do that stuff. Besides, there's no ''freedom of choice'' in America. It's an illusion. You think you have a choice when it comes to your education or healthcare in the US? All of them will mess you up. Literally all of them. Education is ridiculously expensive and so is healthcare. You literally have no other choice but to pay up and go bankrupt or pay up and have little to survive afterwards. That's our ''freedom of choice''.

@@StellaLovesMusic25 Scandinavia as a whole is half the size of the failed colonies. And don't get me started on the European Union.

@@StellaLovesMusic25 You can't just make something up to be right. Here's why you're wrong: - Socialist healthcare is not minimal (no clue where you got that from). - Being able to choose your doctors doesn't matter and you can't do that with insurance anyway - "You get what is available". This is also true for insurance because getting something that is not available is not possible - Not treating you for a small wound is exactly what insurance does if you can't pay it. With free healthcare they will definitely treat it - Bad doctors won't keep their jobs with free healthcare. The law won't be on their side; health insurance doesn't affect any part of their job and the government won't help them just because of that Insurance costs you way more than free healthcare and they will only cover you after you pay a massive amount of money.

What you are talking about is communism.

No... Venezuela isn't communism either. The issue is that these countries which claim to want to try communism usually derails before they manage to get there. You know... "Everybody is equal, but some are more equal than others". Actual communism is an utopian idea. - just like anarcho-capitalism. Humanity should have learned by now that these extreme ideologies are missing too many important things about the real world to actually work.

Communism is dictatorship (in most cases). In reality America has a "disguised" feudalism - like Europe in the middle ages. Denmark has democratic capitalism I'd say. Or actually limited monarchy - allowing the people some influence. This makes the elite larger than in the USA - but less powerful.

In Denmark the tradition with using the bicycle has nothing to do with climate change. We have in Denmark had tradition for using the bicycle since before anyone had cars.

Having and using a bicycle makes a lot of good sense. Has nothing to do with climate and more to do with convenience and economy.

Denmark is the right place for you if you desire to work 40 hours a week and where 20 of those hours every week is not worked for your own wealth and health but for others and those others you're paying for are mostly people that hasn't benefitted society. The following: Education, healthcare, military, police, justice system, environment and infrastructure takes up 40% of our taxes. 60% of the taxes paid in Denmark goes to Social security and public adminstration. Stop this bs misinformation campaign. Wealth ain't something that just comes to your aid because you want it. wealth of society is the overall wealth created by every individual of that society. Why Denmark has become a wealthy country is because we have ensured using our ressources to its maximale capacities. We are wealthy because a lot of people are willing to work and work hard and effecient. We are wealthy because we aren't overpopulated. If we were more people it wouldn't mean higher gdp per capita but a lower gdp per capita.

@handsoffmygun MF You keep repeating that Denmark and other Nordic countries are on the brink of collapse. By what measure? And where did you pick up a falsehood like that? Public debt in Denmark is around 36% of GDP. In Sweden it's around 41% of GDP. I'll agree that France has a problem. Their public debt is a staggering 97% of GDP. And yes, they have the higest taxes of all in combination with relatively low minimum wages and higher unemployment rates. That's causing them problems. Btw. I also believe that protesting is a stronger part of their culture. Bottom line is you can't compare France directly to the Nordic countries. US public debt to GDP is around 107% at the moment. I'm afraid the shit will hit the fan in US a lot sooner than it will here. And that is of course bad news for everyone since US is such a large economy.

You don't have to pay...remember, it's FREE!

not even that their healthy and happy that's good but what enables those two traits is education. without education people will shoot themselves in the foot over and over and over and by the time they learn from it, their life will be over. knowing what makes people healthy and happy is needed, and so without any education to guide anyone here in the states. we just roam around from idea to idea hoping something will work. when we get people who are educated, the dumb start attacking because they have no idea how anything works. the media calls it 50/50 and this is another major problem because the media is controlled by the 1%. we could just look at any other country and just take some of their ideas and build on them but brain deads can't seem to understand simple. 30% of the US are brain dead zombies that will say yes to anything the dear leader says. 30% of the country is under educated. it would be great if these people would just go live in a cave somewhere where no one has to hear their ideas. where they can be oppressed all they want at their own time. lastly it's more towards Tracy, it's not free. they do pay taxes, it's just FAR cheaper then anything we have because their isn't a greedy ass company trying to make as much money and caring as little as possible.

Don't take this the wrong way, but take it the right way. You really should go live where you think you'll be happiest. Plenty of people make that leap and are glad for it.

Wrong! I bet you don't even know the definition of communism. When has Bernie Sanders ever used Venezuela as an example for his ideology? He always uses other Western countries as examples (Canada, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, United Kingdom, France, Germany, etc.)

Venezuela is going through that crisis greatly by the sanctions imposed by the U.S and blockades to public assets abroad, along with the UK and many other right wing countries' collusion. Argentina just went from socialism to capitalism and things got much tougher than they were before, there's a much worse economic crisis. The 'establishment' or elites, demonize socialism and sabotage those countries that have it as a practice, because it's clearly not convenient for their interests, well said by Obama back in 2015.

Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and JPMorgan Chase, are all 3 huge financial institutions now being investigated in related financial crimes (and not for the 1st time) and in Germany Deutsche Bank have been raided by the fraud squad (police) just recently for yet again being involved in financial crimes of epic proportions !.

And it's kinda true for everywhere in the whole world. The average population age in Italy being 45.4 I think that's the reason. Another problem many people have is they think loving your country = loving the govt. I love my country but hate my govt.

@@lewiedewymountaindewy bernie i guess had better policies. A bit drastic i guess. But those would have helped the countries citizen in the long run.

Even the health coverages are way cheaper. Even though Scott Morrison isn't as good as your neighbor NZ's PM but you guys are lucky that atlest he isn't a trump 😅. And being centrist is far better than being rightwing. I know he was having a holiday while austraila was suffering from the worst wildfire. But i guess later he realized his wrong doing. I might be wrong though. As long as you dont elect people like paulina i bet australia will win many cricket world cups (by which i mean things will go normally).

@@LukePighetti Any business with real money isn't going to set up in Denmark when you have places like Nevis and Panama.

The campaign funding and other similar corruption is their biggest problem if you ask me. When the politicians listen to the people what they want, then they can change the country.

autohmae the main issue is on how to achieve the policy changes. In my view, the political landscape has shifted to the right the past forty years putting Rep's on the extreme end of the spectrum, Dems firmly on the right and progressives being the new left (however centrist from a European perspective). Party lines should be drawn for the people's sake. It's then you push through full-packaged progressive views. Trust me, if all Americans get a taste of a "take it for granted" health care system in its full honest form, they'll fight tooth and nail to keep it. Compromise at your own peril. Don't give the Dems or Reps the ability to make it less than is needed because it's (ironically) what they'll complain about when they are attacking such a policy.

TurdEater85 your figures suggest you're a business owner who doesn't appreciate that he's apart of a wider society. This conversation is not aimed at you. It's for middle to working class. An average salary in Sweden get you a good standard of living. If you have kids or want to reeducate, you are well looked after and that long term investment is worth it. You should try America and tell me what happens if you don't make it and then come back to us and compare and complain. And dude, the name. Rethink your name.

NO! We expect a president to be honest and do the right thing for the people. The government is supposed to work for all of us, not just certain groups of rich and well connected. Maybe we do need saving from ourselves. We allowed total greed and corruption to take over.

Exactly, but that's what corporate Dems & Greedy Old Pricks are afraid of. They won't be getting paid by corporations any longer!

Congress would block him. If you want actual change, you need to elect a president like Bernie Sanders as well as a senate and a house of representatives that support those ideas. Which isn't easy when 40 to 60% of your population is convinced that socialism is the work of the devil.

@@lepetitroquet9410 Exactly. We need to get more people like AoC elected. Or else it'll be worse than what the republicans did to Obama.
