Those nations aren’t going to be viable either for long.
It’s the times we live in, and this situation is failing.
No nations are going to be free from the issues we’re
facing.
Nope, you’re not. More authoritarian, less guaranteed rights, more overt socialism, way less self defense rights, libs in control and just getting worse. Only benefits to denmark and germany are better divorce and parenting rights for men.
I once had a lot of respect for Australia. Then COVID came
along and the governments just went wing-nut on the populace.
I’m not convinced Australia is as solid a free state as we
might like to think.
Not sure we are either what with the digital dollar and
FedNow coming along.
Total BS
There’s a saying that “in Germany, everyone is equally poor.”
I have heard that several times by both expats and German citizens.
By a wide margin, the biggest reasons the U.S. lags other countries in many socioeconomic indicators are cultural. That explains our higher crime rates, lower life expectancy, high rates of social pathologies, and limited economic mobility. It also doesn’t help that we are so wealthy overall — because in purely financial terms there isn’t much of a downside to being a lazy, unproductive bum anymore.
Australia? The lock down capital of the world?
1st world countries with protective import tariffs ( Every G-7 nation except the USA ) all seem to have a vibrant productive blue coller workforce and a large middle class.
Why, thank President Johnson..
The underlying premise seems wrong. One may live a "dream" wherever one is, within reason. Not of course North Korea and the like. But whether in one of the countries in the article or another, being at liberty and being fiscally sensible are available to those who don't buy into the modern myths. Have no debt. Save. Never run in the direction of a stampede of lemmings. Hold to dreams when the media and politics say you are guilty of this or that, like racism and all the clever 'phobias. Comport yourself with dignity, and choose your friends wisely. Believe in God and not the State.
I’d be curious to compare against those that immigrated here and became USA citizens.
No guns...you wait a year for heart surgery...bananas are $75 a pound...gasoline is $8 a gallon....tax rates are around 50% (if you’re lucky)...moslems roam the streets of every major city...
Yesterday I traveled 200 miles away into parts of two adjacent states. The difference just one county away is clearly visible. Prosperity and enterprise are evident not 35 miles away and improving the further you go. What could it be?
Answer: While the adjacent county has a larger American Indian population it does not also have the white trash we have. The combination of these, Indians on every kind of dole you can imagine and white trash is fatal. When people don’t have to work they won’t. There are generations of people in this country who have not had to work and just won’t. What is more, it has become a way of life they accept and pass on to the next generation.
The attitude shows up everywhere including their dwellings and every space they use, it reeks of don’t care. The highways and byways here are littered with trash. You can rake it into piles and walk without ever touching the ground around one Indian community here. Just one county away, not so much. Pretty clean actually. The whole area here looks disheveled, run down, used up, scraggly, just downright trashy.
Programs in this country are for total dependency or nothing. We have no provisions for weaning off, only cut off lines. Faced with the decision to live off the land by your own hard work or live off of the dole for a few pennies more what do we expect people will do? Don’t even suggest that the dole is not a way of life. They know how to game the system to pay them for life with only a few interruptions. it may not be a good life and they complain constantly but they like it much better than working for a few pennies more.
This area will never get any better than it is now. There is not nearly enough enterprise to overcome the mass of people who do nothing and live off of the efforts of others. They are useless drones. In a beehive they would be killed. We need to take lessons from bees.
It is disgusting and depressing.
I really enjoyed living in Germany until Merkel brought in her s hole pets. But what this article really skips around is a certain culture and races that don’t want to improve their lot in life. They embrace welfare. This isn’t a common trait in ethnic white Europeans. There are outliers like the Gypsies or Travellers but the welfare queens in Europe are imports from Africa and the Middle East who love the s hole lifestyle as they do here.
