What we can learn from Denmark

In Denmark, social policy in areas like health care, child care, education and protecting the unemployed are part of a "solidarity system" that makes sure that almost no one falls into economic despair. Danes pay very high taxes, but in return enjoy a quality of life that many Americans would find hard to believe. As the ambassador mentioned, while it is difficult to become very rich in Denmark no one is allowed to be poor. The minimum wage in Denmark is about twice that of the United States and people who are totally out of the labor market or unable to care for themselves have a basic income guarantee of about $100 per day.

Health care in Denmark is universal, free of charge and high quality. Everybody is covered as a right of citizenship. The Danish health care system is popular, with patient satisfaction much higher than in our country. In Denmark, every citizen can choose a doctor in their area. Prescription drugs are inexpensive and free for those under 18 years of age. Interestingly, despite their universal coverage, the Danish health care system is far more cost-effective than ours. They spend about 11 percent of their GDP on health care. We spend almost 18 percent.

When it comes to raising families, Danes understand that the first few years of a person's life are the most important in terms of intellectual and emotional development. In order to give strong support to expecting parents, mothers get four weeks of paid leave before giving birth. They get another 14 weeks afterward. Expecting fathers get two paid weeks off, and both parents have the right to 32 more weeks of leave during the first nine years of a child's life. The state covers three-quarters of the cost of child care, more for lower-income workers.

At a time when college education in the United States is increasingly unaffordable and the average college graduate leaves school more than $25,000 in debt, virtually all higher education in Denmark is free. That includes not just college but graduate schools as well, including medical school.

In a volatile global economy, the Danish government recognizes that it must invest heavily in training programs so workers can learn new skills to meet changing workforce demands. It also understands that when people lose their jobs they must have adequate income while they search for new jobs. If a worker loses his or her job in Denmark, unemployment insurance covers up to 90 percent of earnings for as long as two years. Here benefits can be cut off after as few as 26 weeks.

In Denmark, adequate leisure and family time are considered an important part of having a good life. Every worker in Denmark is entitled to five weeks of paid vacation plus 11 paid holidays. The United States is the only major country that does not guarantee its workers paid vacation time. The result is that fewer than half of lower-paid hourly wage workers in our country receive any paid vacation days.

THAT is a utopia! God damn I swear if I could I would move there...but as much as it pains me to live in the corporate run nation that is the US I hope to change it more towards Denmark!

Denmark is a very small country with a shitload of oil revenue. They can afford to do that.

But, do any of them have rhythm?

Can Danes dunk?

Scandinavia s Weakest Nation Finds Welfare Habits Too Costly - Bloomberg Business

From a pro capitalist rag based on comments by the pro capitalist government in power at the time AND when a housing boom was busting AND when immigrants from Africa and ME were being allowed in. Nice try but fail.

Scandinavia s Weakest Nation Finds Welfare Habits Too Costly - Bloomberg Business

Just shot the hell out of that opening post....

Only in the narrow mind of a republitard.

USA has a high degree of wealth inequality compared to most other first world nations. Link below. America's not at the bottom. Mexico and Turkey are worse. Conservatives on this board have been convinced that social programs ruin a country but the facts argue against this.

10 Countries With The Worst Income Inequality - TheRichest

We are a more multi-cultural pluralistic society than Denmark

Does that count for something.

I hear it is supposed to be a real good thing.

Meaning you don't care for multi cultural pluralistic?

Why can't you move?

Of course, you don't get it.

That is probably why you can't move there.

As Karin Larsen, department leader at Kofoed’s School, told us in reference to the failures of the current welfare system: “you’d have to be blind and deaf in Denmark if you don’t know about it.” Indeed, there seems to be a common consensus that homelessness and poverty are growing problems, relative to other years under the Danish welfare state.

"The actual pattern of thought is "We need to take care of our needy compatriots", with a much weaker "We'd like to take care of other needy people, money and time permitting".
"But note that there are two definitions of "compatriots". One is "people who share my culture and heritage"; the other is "people who are legally entitled to live (and/or vote) within the geographic and political boundaries of my country". .... The welfare state is a means of expressing solidarity with people who are mostly just like you are. Other people with different values cannot be trusted not to abuse the system; worse, they don't much care what you think of them, and so they are immune from the social pressure that regulates consumption of benefits in homogenous communities."

What exactly is preventing you?

Money. Passport. Wife would move once her grandma passes but not until then.

A one way ticket to Denmark can be had for about $800, a passport is less than $200. Take grandma with you. It's not expensive, yer talking less than $3000 for you, your wife and her grandmother. After you get there, you can rely on their fantastic social safety net that you are so enchanted with.
So, what exactly is preventing you? Can you not muster up the paltry sum of $3000?

 

[koshergrl]

" Visitors say Danes are joyless to be around. Denmark suffers from high rates of alcoholism. In its use of antidepressants it ranks fourth in the world. (Its fellow Nordics the Icelanders are in front by a wide margin.) Some 5 percent of Danish men have had sex with an animal. Denmark’s productivity is in decline, its workers put in only 28 hours a week, and everybody you meet seems to have a government job. Oh, and as The Telegraph put it, it’s “the cancer capital of the world.”

This article is classic, lol:

"Those sky-high happiness surveys, it turns out, are mostly bunk. Asking people “Are you happy?” means different things in different cultures. In Japan, for instance, answering “Yes” seems like boasting, Booth points out. Whereas in Denmark, it’s considered “shameful to be unhappy,” newspaper editor Anne Knudsen says in the book.
"Moreover, there is a group of people that believes the Danes are lying when they say they’re the happiest people on the planet. This group is known as “Danes.”

Omg:

"Richard Wilkinson, an author and professor who published a book arguing for the superiority of egalitarian cultures, told Booth, “Hunter-gatherer societies — which are similar to prehistoric societies — are highly egalitarian. And if someone starts to take on a more domineering position, they get ridiculed or teased or ostracized. These are what’s called counter-dominance strategies, and they maintain the greater equality.”
"So Danes operate on caveman principles — if you find it, share it, or be shunned. Once your date with Daisy the Sheep is over, you’d better make sure your friends get a turn. (Bestiality has traditionally been legal in Denmark, though a move to ban it is under way. Until recently, several “bestiality brothels” advertised their services in newspapers, generally charging clients $85 to $170 for what can only be termed a roll in the hay.)"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Macho isn’t a problem in Sweden. Dubbed the least masculine country on Earth by anthropologist Geert Hofstede, it’s the place where male soldiers are issued hairnets instead of being made to cut their hair."
