Average US wages seem laugable to middle class inhabitants of Scandinavian cities like Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen.

I think you are talking out your @$$ here, FRiend.

There’s been a serious “brain drain” in Sweden as educated professionals experience life outside of Sweden and decide not to return. The solution proposed by the former Social Democrat government seemed to accept the phenomenon. They suggested the long-term need for greater immegration from third world nations that produced educated workers - who would be thrilled by the higher standard of living in Sweden. It’s part of what’s produced some disturbing political reactions in Sweden. The notion of preserving the current flavor of Swedish social democracy as a great alternative to third world poverty; actually switching out the population to a more appreciative bunch to do it; I guess that’s what “progressive” politics is all about.
