Everything is possible. Malice or just incompetence? No way to know.

As much as I love Greek culture, I think I'm going to stay right here. I will use the long(er) weekend to visit Greece and her hard-working people.

To think social progress is not coming from Europe anymore...

No, leftists are protesting the genocide. Liberals aren’t leftists.

They are just racist and hate Arabs and Muslims

Taxes are not socialism

The US took coffee which was a symbol of relaxation and hospitality, and turned it into a way to extract more value from the worker.

This is how we do it https://youtube.com/shorts/bMSlqa2lt3A

It isn’t perfect. Far from it, but every woman is entitled to free healthcare including most foreigners except very high earners.

And we are not that bad compared to some US states if you can trust American Progress https://www.americanprogress.org/article/authoritarian-regimes-have-more-progressive-abortion-policies-than-some-u-s-states/

Weird that you accuse us of being polluters when our impact historically, currently and cumulatively is nowhere near the US or most countries. https://ourworldindata.org/contributed-most-global-co2

I did qualify my post that it isn’t for everyone. I am of the culture, I understand it, and I know how to function in it.

Sorry. It isn’t a country that anyone can just move to. It has many serious flaws and is not pleasant for people from different backgrounds. But it did allow my father to retire in his 50s and my uncles to retire in their 60s. But if you are willing to play along, and keep your thoughts to yourself, you do get a lot for free from education to healthcare and it is affordable to live in, and foreigners do manage to save here. Oh no income tax either.

One of the reasons I decided to leave the US. Yes, the Economist is British but the US has the same problem. I realized chances are I will never save enough for retirement, my 401k planner even says so. So I am moving back to the country that allowed my father to retire in his 50s. 10 years ago when I started working in the US I didn’t expect this outcome, and the longer I stay here the longer it will take me to improve my conditions.
