Everyone loves to talk about Norwegian welfare as the pinnacle of social policy while conveniently forgetting that it’s a tiny country of 5.5 million people backed by a trillion dollars of oil money from the state.
Edit: I love how everyone glosses over the population size as if it has nothing to do with policy making and the politically stagnant environment of the US.

Sweden and Denmark are very similar. You don’t need oil/gas to make it possible
someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my country is dying-
That MIC budget is too small by at least 2 zeros if not 3
There’s a whole lot of corruption packed into this number.
Seventh Audit Failed.
And as we all know, the US doesn’t have any oil itself!
No, but, the oil fund isn’t really used. For reference, the first withdrawal in history was in 2016. The prison system is far older than that
It’s also comparably equal.
If US wealth was equally distributed, every person would own about 450.000$
That would make like 20 people lose a lot of money.
yay
Oh no… god forgive us for wishing such horrible and wretched things upon your wealthiest mistakes…
