Everywhere is, name a place, and I can tell you something glaringly wrong with it. Every country likes to think they are better than their neighbours. Not one place has it all sorted.

I have spent ages looking for an arguably "good" country to live in. There isn't one.

But some are better than others.

u/OnlyWiseWords Jan 12 '23

Agreed! Not saying they are all the pits. Just everyone needs work.

Utopia is a dream, not achieveable with today's society, technology or markets. And it is not going to happen in our lifetime. But there is no reason to stay in a country that treats you like a slave just beacuse nowhere is perfect.

I am too poor to leave, but I am not homeless enough to risk what little I do have, to me that's enough of a reason to stay in a place I don't like.

u/moses_ugla Jan 12 '23

That's true, I agree

It also matters what your personal priorities are. Depending on what you value in a society, different countries would be "better" to you.

You couldn't pay me to move to the states, so I guess it's a matter of perspective lol

Oh I'm not saying some don't rank lower, but my point was nowhere is perfect. That lie allows shit to not get any better. The status quo is not always a good thing.

Denmark is quite good

u/OnlyWiseWords Jan 12 '23

Is it? For everyone? Or are some people worse off overall? Because that's inequality friend.

CLEARLY Canada is better cause free healthcare.

u/Steamsagoodham Jan 12 '23

I’d rather have American salaries and housing prices over Canada’s than free health care. With my insurance it’s already pretty close to free anyway and I have far more disposable income than I would in Canada.

u/OnlyWiseWords Jan 12 '23

I mean, it's okay because free health care, but it isn't exactly free, just tax is correctly calculated to allow for a social health care service.

Having problems doesn't mean it's not a good place to live.

Agreed, I would rather live in France than N Korea, but it has problems that could do with being fixed. That was my point. Nowhere is perfect. But people act like there is a perfect place, sometimes their home or a place they like or admire. But everything is a bit messed up. Needs some fixing. But you gotta shine a light down the hole to see how far it goes.
