Lol. A list which consistently has some of the most social democratic countries at the top is being posted in a conservative community.
University education is free in Findland, Denmark, Iceland, Sweeden, and Norway.
Healthcare is free in the entire top 10.
Taxes are higher in the entire top 10.
The majority of workers are unionized in 9 out of 10 (all but Isreal)
Guns are heavily regulated in the entire top 10.
Abortion is legal in the entire top 10.
Yeah I don’t think Biden is why America ranks lower than Lithuania on how happy the average person is with their life.

Some of the most capitalistic as well.

Yup! Capitalism and strong social programs can coexist. Countries need not choose one or the other.

Agreed.

It bothers me that people on this platform downvote even when someone agrees or concedes. You agreed and yet you were downvoted. There’s too much blind antagonism through the voting system here.
