I’m sure my comment was wrong in every way. It’s just I don’t see us being a very good socialist country that wins “Best Place to Live” awards like Scandinavian countries do. We have too many dead weights. There are so many groups who have been taught for generations to believe they’re owed anything they want and have the excuse, or even right, to get it by any means.
Remember though that many of those “best place to live” awards are weighted so that you get more credit for government programs than for actual quality of life.
