I am so used to people complaining about their own country that I mistakenly thought that the first guy was Danish. And then, the second guy's comment made no sense at all. I was like, "health insurance? co-pays? How does any of that apply to Denmark?"

I had to reread the first post several times before I could overturn my impression that he was Danish.

Can someone explain what "+ retirement savings" means here? I'm trying to figure out what the comment means by that, like they're implying saving money for retirement isn't done in Europe?

Hum... The name of that way to organize your bills is "socialism". That is, unless you restrict who gets access to it.

That's not socialism, at all. There's a huge difference between the government owning and controlling industries and services and the government paying for those goods and services.

the government owning and controlling industries and services

Are you trying to define communism here? Because it's not exactly that either. And socialism is absolutely not that.

If we could only train everyone to loudly hiss whenever they hear GDP or Tax Rate used as a metric to gauge a country's value, a lot of people would be a lot better off.

Best answer ever

Glorious social democracy of Denmark which rose its retirement age to literal fucking 70 years old. What a fucking joke.
