That was a long rant to bash the Swedish policies.
That rant wasn't about Swedish policies, it was about socialist policies that don't work. If you think healthcare is good in Europe and will work here then all you gotta do is convince the voters to significantly raise taxes on everybody and I mean everybody to pay for it. There's a reason why several blue states have tried to institute a universal healthcare system that failed or couldn't get it off the ground. Costs. If it was doable, we'd be doing it here somewhere.
I am not going to listen to an hour and 15 minutes of bullshit from the Biden Administration regarding industrial policy or anything else. If that's what you want, okay but you can forget about innovation and creativity. China doesn't do that, mostly they steal it from us. A good bit of China's economic success over the past 40-50 years has been due to their shift away from authoritarian socialistic policy in favor of capitalism and market reform. Their standard of living ain't that good, China’s per capita income ranked 75th among countries in 2016, alongside Algeria and Thailand. And lest we forget, the reason why China was in so much poverty in the 1st place before then was due to the communistic/socialistic policies that stifled economic growth.
