But yeah things like that are why comparisons between the Nordic countries and US or any other country in the world are so pointless. It's not just that we do x, y and z differently, it's the whole a to å, ä and ö. To be fair no system is without its faults and it always annoys me when I meet other foreigners who start off with bitching about "oh but my country does this, this and this, it's so much better than this" expecting sympathy and I'm just like are you fucking kidding me? Right now my lulz is the NHS (the UK National Health Service, I live in England right now). Brits looove to bitch about it and how it's not effective enough, costs too much, the nurses aren't nice enough, doctors can't even speak English, not enough this or that. God forbid there's an article in the news about Americans having their knickers in a twist over Obamacare and suddenly NHS is the most amazing thing ever and omg you guise in the colonies totally need to get on the healthcare because ours is awesome and we love it so and we had it in the Olympics opening with Mary Poppinses because it's the greatest in the world like everything else in GREAT Britain.
