That’s what I love Lemmy for - a new perspective (and down votes, of course). Thanks for the link, it’s an interesting read. I also looked up details on their taxation system and it’s not that crazy, especially on business side. If someone wants it, here is the link to the article which compares Nordic countries tax system to US: https://taxfoundation.org/blog/scandinavian-social-programs-taxes-2023/
It seems that my opinion about lack of innovation was caused by me not knowing or hearing about big names of Nordic companies. No Scandinavian Apples or Googles around.
But as much as I enjoyed this conversation, I feel we have ventured way too far from Tim Walz…
Hmmm, not really? It seems the Nordics are exactly the middle sweet spot of globalization and social welfare
I am not the only one saying this though, https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/01/the-new-nordic-model/
It would be nice if you can elaborate what you mean?
