I know, right, why don't we just copy the government of a monocultural Scandinavian ethnostate fortuitously gifted with massive oil wealth. Politics is so simple man.

America could probably do the same thing with our natural resources tbh. We also have an insane amount of valuable services whose value could be redistributed to Americans. I'm not saying we should do that, but it's certainly possible.

The monocultural aspect is weak. Wealth and location are much better indicators than ethnicity. I know immigrants who are more "American" than hardened conservatives/liberals.

I cannot wait until Bernie "loses" the democratic nomination and will no longer be mentioned in American politics in a serious capacity.

This is it for the Comrade Barnie bros. They know the Bern won't last until 2024.

When you find $64 trillion lying around make sure to let me know. Norway has saved a colossal amount of wealth relative to population.

Shared culture and ethnicity leads to increased social trust, which in turn is why these countries find it so easy to implement and maintain strong social welfare policies.

Glad you agree that the reason we can't have nice things is rampant xenophobia.

I'm pretty successful coming from two parents with zero college education. My wife is too.

My wife and I are almost making more than either of our parents did and will soon get to making more than either of our parents combined.
