That's not my view of things, having lived in sweden for at least 2
decades. Can you tell me more of what you experienced in sweden?
I didn't see any homeless people. Of all the people that I met on the
street or in the grocery store, I think I saw only one or two with obvious
untreated major medical conditions. I have friends who have fairly
low-paying jobs and they don't worry from day to day about whether they
will keep their job and whether their apartment will still be available
tomorrow. In doubtful neighborhoods in Stockholm and Gothenburg nobody
came up to me trying to sell me an empty spray can or a stolen cellphone.
Admittedly I have only been for a few months in a couple cities and in
the country near Varberg, but compared with Italy and large chunks of the
US, things seemed stable and well-run.
Needless to say, there is a reason I moved to another country, and that is
because swedens systems are comind apart and society is breaking up. In
sweden people will stay wage slaves until they are 72 unless they are part
of the golden generation born after WW2 who basically stole everything and
left debts to the rest.
Is there any place in the world that isn't that way? But I'd rather be a
secure wage slave than an insecure one.
