A day or two ago someone (I believe a Swede) posted a question, basically asking why we in the US don’t revolt more aggressively against working conditions. At one point in the post, OP mentioned passingly something to the effect of “life SUCKS here for other reasons”, referring to their home country of Sweden.
Would love to get some perspectives from this community. Wondering if people can share what sucks about living in countries like Sweden. I’ve heard taxes make buying things like cars prohibitively expensive, for example. i presume working conditions are better? I wonder what exactly that person was referring to… OP if you see this, would love to get your thoughts!!
What other things have people experienced? in what ways is life/work better or particularly worse than in the US?
note: I’m not sure if I use the term democratic socialist exactly correctly, hoping my point/question is conveyed, not trying to start a debate about what is classified “successful” lol, just trying to provide a broad category of the type of countries i’m talking about.
