Australia isn’t that much better. Yeah, you’re much less likely to get shot unless it’s by the cops, but housing and grocery prices are insane. Public health is kind of okay at the moment, but it’s slowly and surely being gutted along with most other public services. Disability and unemployment are a labyrinthine nightmare of maliciously incompetent bureaucracy. Workers rights don’t suck in some places. Some industries have very strong unions (construction). My state has sick pay guarantees for casual workers and jail time is a possibility for wage theft. I think it’s the only one where that’s true tho. Otoh we just voted nationally to continue systemic racism, we have nazis sieg heiling in the streets, our prime minister is a non-event and the opposition leader is an angry potato.
