    Sorry dude, but the scandinavian model is not socialism at all. They've used the huge improvement of their economies over the last half a century to create social programs, such as free basic medical care and education, which is also true for most european countries, however there's nothing socialistic in the way they created their wealth and the way they are run both economically and politically.
    Sorry, but they didn't create their social programs out of the improvement of their economies. The social programs were already there, they reformed them to be more efficient and became more social democracies (a variant of socialism) and that's when their economy improved. Social democracy is a political, social and economic philosophy that supports economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a liberal democratic polity and a capitalist-oriented mixed economy.

    The Nordic countries are all in the top6 for most public spending

    Interesting to see that the US have a very low public spending but somehow republicans believe that they spend too much and that's the root of their problems.

    When you look at Sanders' program, this is clearly a social democrat program. Social democracies work in Europe.

    fauxnews and conservative media have contributed to the propagation of the virus, there is no question about it. Their partisanship has blinded completely, they cannot be objective on any topic.

    We’re not even peak yet. NY had their first death caused by not having a respirator available Thousands more will happen. The Stupid TX governor thinks we will not be as bad as NY, yet never issued a shelter in place order. Well probably end up the most devastated of the redneck states, since we have no leadership, and huge cities. They should be converting the HBG convention center into a hospital, but don’t see the need. By the time you see the need, there isn’t enough time to do it. The dumbass Repugnants are constantly behind the curve,

    The biggest issue is Mexico which is going to be another Italy times 10 I know a lot do Drs in South Texas are worried about when this happens it’s going to have a huge impact in Texas. Houston will be the hardest Texas state due to poverty, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. The other issue is people not following guidelines went outside for a walk and about 20 people playing a soccer game in the park SMH and why is GameStop open??

    Fyi - a friend told me an employee at the Bakery at HEB 1604 and Bandera in SA tested positive. I think all employees working at any store that is open should be receiving gloves as masks for their own safety they keeping us feed need to keep them healthy.

    Since rate is so important to you... how many actual deaths have to happen before it’s an issue for you? Clearly you have no problem trivializing the deaths of 10k people. So I’d just like to know if there’s an actual number when your humanity kicks in.

    Neither are fit to lead this country. We’d be no better off with Biden or Peolosi or any these politicians for that matter. That’s what’s so funny about people like you who shape their entire lives based on a political party. You’re the exact same thing as those liberal s you rail against. Just the other end of the pendulum. It’s hilarious. The you spew isn’t any different than the MSM garbage we’re constantly inundated with.

    never trivialized anything each death is tragic. my issue was the destruction of the world economy, sucks that so many people aren’t going to have jobs to go back to. I’m glad our president wants to get the country back to work when feasible and safe. I also hope he continues putting pressure on 3M etc to get people the PPE they need.

    and it’s no question that the US is doing better than Europe. For all the stats and math people love here people get butthurt when people point out Europe death rates are at least double and at worst 4-5x as bad as ours. They’re objectively worse at handling the pandemic than we are.. Italy is probably even worse too, they’re not even testing people past a certain age. We’re so spread out that we aren’t going to ever be as bad off as them.

    This aged well.
    There’s no argument to be made. corona virus is about as worth talking about as the common cold.

    I hope there’s a corona virus support group for you nearby, you’re a ing loon

    You have trivialized them. Just look at your quote a few posts above.

    So no number?

    You spew a lot of but the moment you’re actually required to engage with a legitimate response you refuse. Typical of your ilk.

    Social democracy is wayyyyyyy closer to capitalism principles than to socialism. Danish ex prime minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen disagrees with you and Bernie about all this. It's quite simple really - none of the nordic countries adhere to the main goals of socialism - distribution of wealth equally ( no, lots of big nordic companies and rich capitalists ), government maintaining control over society ( lol ) and public/state ownership of land and industries ( again, no ).

    You can invent whatever term you want, and sure there are a million slippery ones already, but nordic countries are not socialist by any means. Half of them are still monarchies ffs.

    Anyway, this is not the forum, nor the thread for this.
    social democracy was one of the split of socialism back in the 20s, the other side more extreme becoming communism. Sanders doesn’t ask for equal distribution of wealth, come on man, don’t invent things. The nordic countries all have more than 50% in public spending showing a lot of redistribution, they have huge taxes. They are really far from the capitalism asked by republicans and closer to what Sanders is looking for and still far from what moderate democrats are looking for. Still, they have less poverty, less crime, better healthcare and education.
