  2. Yeh. Mueller has ordered his team to wear "Comey Is My Homey" tee shirts. That gives you a clue as to where this thing is headed.

  8. Great presentation, but he misses a very important point. This excerpt explains it perfectly imo.

    "The real key to Scandinavia’s unique successes isn’t socialism, it’s culture. Social trust and cohesion, a broad egalitarian ethic, a strong emphasis on work and responsibility, commitment to the rule of law — these are healthy attributes of a Nordic culture that was ingrained over centuries. In the region’s small and homogeneous countries (overwhelmingly white, Protestant, and native-born), those norms took deep root. The good outcomes and high living standards they produced antedated the socialist nostrums of the 1970s. Scandinavia’s quality of life didn’t spring from leftist policies. It survived them.

    Sanandaji makes the acute observation that when Scandinavian emigrants left for the United States, those cultural attributes went with them and produced the same good effects. Scandinavian-Americans have higher incomes and lower poverty rates than the US average. Indeed, Danish-Americans economically outperform Danes still living in Denmark, as do Swedish-Americans compared with Swedes and Finnish-Americans compared with Finns. Scandinavian culture has been a blessing for native Scandinavians — and even more of one for their cousins across the ocean.

    No, Scandinavia doesn’t “violate the laws of the economic universe.” It confirms them. With free markets and healthy values, almost any society will thrive. Socialism only makes things worse."

  9. US vs European understandings of "socialism", practical experience of socialist capitalist & social democracy varies. An opinion piece on Nordic culture written by a conservative American who's name indicates a Jewish, German, maybe English origin so unless he's lived in Scandinavia..

    TBH, I had angioplasty today for the first time, so a nights rest and I'll think better in the morning. :)

    I would like to do some research on the cited source and I'll get back. I have very different weightings on things, initially I sense the man just wrote a "to the choir" opinion piece. As I am not a US conservative or liberal, it is a task to consider from several perspectives but nights rest should clarify things for me.

  10. Hoping for a good recovery. :)

    Just to clarify. I don't believe that "socialism makes everything worse", as the author states.

    It is not about the system, but the people.
