It’s not shocking that under Biden, we fell out of the top 20.

    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.

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

            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.

              Honestly the downvotes increase engagement and make this community more visible as it’s always at the bottom of the top lists.

              Ironic but I feel like it helps this community thrive as that’s the reason I found it even though the community at [email protected] is actually bigger

                A large amount of the community here came over from the shitshow that was the .world community where the admins were a bunch of reddit admins wannabes who just banned people for not being leftist, and at that time, the sh.itjust.works community was entirely umoderated, which caused all the activity to dry up because nobody liked dealing with the perpetual trolls that just harassed everyone there.
