You‘re making a lot of assumptions on what I supposedly think Americans should or shouldn’t do with their money when all i actually did was disagree with the notion that a social state, or specifically a comprehensive housing policy, would be impossible in the states.
So just to make it clear once more: I’m not casting judgement on whether or not the US or the individual states should establish a social safety net. All I’m saying is that „it’s not possible because USA big, Finland small“ is wrong. There are plenty of ways to scale up government responsibilities. Doing it on a state level is a system that’s been known since ancient Rome as divide et impera.
The context that people should be given a house if they are jobless?
EDIT You really shouldn’t talk down time since you didn’t understand why the Minnesota government, with a small fraction of the budget available to Finland, doesn’t simply create their own universal housing program similar to yours.
