The USA surpassed Norway's median income some time in the 2020's. And it's VASTLY cheaper to live in the United States.

The Nordic petro states were never really that impressive to me personally. I'm sure someone will come out of the woodwork to talk up their healthcare and social services, but again, if you were being fair we would compare them to a State like Massachusetts instead of Mississippi or Alabama and you would find our healthcare systems here are equally if not more accessible.

Speaking for myself, I also really enjoy the diversity we have in the US, and our ability to absorb immigration and integrate into a whole. Meanwhile the Scandi/Nordic states seem to struggle like the rest of Western Europe when it comes to accepting new people without ghettoizing them for an indefinite number of generations.

Wow.

Wow indeed. Der Spiegel reported on the decapitation of Lady Liberty back in April of 2017. While you could have pretended she still lived during the Biden administration, it is clear that she is quite dead in 2025.
