The USSR did most of the heavy lifting, though. But it’s true that without US military aid and intelligence, the USSR might not have fared as well in WW2.
- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 1 week ago:

If Firefox ever stopped allowing forks, would Librewolf be able to work fully independently, though? I hope so…

splaining?

Yeah, I agree with you on that. It certainly could be better.
- Comment on Anon has a wholesome thought 4 weeks ago:
I’m talking about rent and mortgages getting extraordinarily high, and that mostly financing other people’s opulent lifestyles, instead of financing general wellbeing.
- Comment on Anon has a wholesome thought 4 weeks ago:
Not that different from today… you have to work for the piece of land you own/rent.

France’s actually pretty okay. France’s on place 27. Spain’s 35.

Extrovert, maybe?
- Comment on Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality? 5 weeks ago:
We take nothing away and give everything to the people. Capitalists are the problem.
- Comment on Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality? 5 weeks ago:
A liberal democracy isn’t exactly a free democracy. Billionnaires have far more buying power and so the odds are much more in their favour to bribe and corrupt institutions. That is why they like “liberal” democracy and corporate dictatorships.
If you want to understand, then go to one of those US “for profit” prisons. Works well, huh?
- Comment on Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality? 5 weeks ago:
Norway did that, though. The pension fund that’s financed from that oil, is nationally owned, iirc.
- Comment on Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality? 5 weeks ago:
Not to mention that Hungary and Poland are pretty dictatorial.

You might want to look at the IHDI, inequality-adjusted human development index.
It takes the life expectancy, years of education, and GNI (PPP) per capita, and adjusts it for inequality.
Ideally it shouldn’t even take GNI into account, imho (but an economic type-agnostic system, that takes the environment into account as well).
The top 15 is:
-
Iceland (Nordics)
-
Norway (Nordics)
-
Denmark (Nordics)
-
Switzerland (Central Europe)
-
Netherlands (Western Europe)
-
Belgium (Western Europe)
-
Finland (Nordics)
-
Germany (Central Europe)
-
Sweden (Nordics)
-
Ireland (Western Europe)
-
Slovenia (Southeast Europe)
-
Australia (Oceania)
-
United Kingdom (Western Europe)
-
Canada (North America)
-
Czech Republic (Central Europe)
The IHDI still has some issues, though, like not taking workplace democracy, environment and sustainability, and public transit into account. Had that been done, Spain probably would rise higher.

“It’s a blockchain of an highly enhanced hydrogen process. Thanks to its quantum mechanism it manages to increase the energy output by a ton.”
Just tell that to investors and they’ll gobble it up.
- Comment on I was diagnosed with early onset dementia and alzhimers. Is there safe guards I can put it up so I don't screw or kill anyone? Like who do I contact about being denied to own a gun? 5 weeks ago:
US authorities can’t be trusted imo.
