You just pay. All the problems are known and have workarounds, it just involves money.

That’s my point.

It doesn’t have to be nice or clean or smooth, if there is a known solution which someone can just throw money at, at scale.

The harder problem with these smaller countries and economies, is people haven’t figured out how to do that yet. So you end up having to track down x or y random lawyer, then hope they don’t screw you, etc.





That's a very American approach. Just enable a grift economy existing purely because the original thing was bad. The Nordic approach is to make the original thing better. The end result is less wasteful.

Also smaller. The ‘waste’ also counts towards GDP, as long as the money keeps moving.

Lots of people have built homes and families off it.

What really slows an economy down is when money stops moving.

Honestly, that explains a lot. Vastly different perspective from what I'm used to, but useful insight into the US.


That's an argument for U.S. healthcare insurance industry being a good thing. Uhh.. no?

It certainly pads a lot of people’s wallets! Like anything, it’s about what trade offs, when, by whom, etc.
