Scandinavians have choosen one way of organizing society and US Americans another.

The entire population of Sweden is about the same as one American city, Los Angeles.

Most Swedes moved to Nebraska in the 1800’s. We left enough folks in the ‘old country’ to keep it nice for our visits. :-)

“The entire population of Sweden is about the same as one American city, Los Angeles.”

- Or even less. The metropolitan area of L.A. has over 17 million inhabitants. Sweden has 9.1 million. That’s more or less the same size as Georgia, North Carolina or New Jersey.

Still it’s enough to form a world class national hockey team..

Yeah, it’s a big joke. I could just strangle the policy wonks in political debates who bring up Sweden, as if the US is remotely comparable in any reasonable sense.
