If she had been elected we would still have hundreds of thousands streaming across the border every month with no attempt to remove them. We wouldn't have bombed Iran which would have led to them having nukes soon which they were almost guaranteed to use. Because of her perceived weakness Putin may have decided to attack other countries too. China likely would be moving on Taiwan.
if you didnt elect trump in 2016, iran wouldnt have enriched.

i watched an video of an american who moved to a nordic country. same job in both. he said his take home was the same but the streets were clean, etc etc. names jared bauer

europe starts at number 5 for life expectancy. usa is 48.

im just watching a video on the ghetto of iceland ill get back to you in one second.
Norway was a country I saw cited as taxing at 23%. And for the millionth time if you take away fentanyl deaths and gun deaths the life expectancy in the U.S. would be higher. In other words don't do drugs and stay out of violent neighborhoods and you'll likely live past 80.

capital of iceland "ghetto"

meanwhile if i walk in my city near the mall theres always homeless ppl doing drugs

when i lived in a smaller city working at a hospital, there was also homeless drug addicts. that was one of hte murder capitals of this country something like 4 or 5x higher than the biggest cities in this country.

Iceland has what, about 400,000 people? No comparison and it's extremely expensive.

what are you talking about. i agree iceland is expensive, so why isnt there a ghetto?

compare cities to cites. ive lived in a city same population as the one shown in the video and as i said there was homeless drug addicts in the streets.

this is a country with a small population. terrible life expectancy. your excuse doesnt hold.

Nauru is a Pacific Island with a cultural bias for obesity. Has nothing to do with the U.S. or Iceland.

The whole country of Iceland has less people than many cities in Canada or the U.S. It doesn't have a ghetto because there isn't a large, poor minority there. Really man, it's night and day difference between there and the U.S.

Yes, the wealthiest 5% own most of the wealth in Iceland. Income inequality is generally low, but it's higher for many European countries too compared to Iceland. What does pointing to Iceland with its small population prove about anything? Do you know where Nauru got its wealth? The island had huge deposits of guano which was mined for fertilizer. The very small population became very wealthy but have seen a big decline as those deposits were.depleted.

Where you go wrong is not knowing what the source of income is for a particular place. You see someone prospering and say if they can why can't you? The U.S. has the world's biggest economy and over 350 million people. There's no comparing it to two small island nations and saying if they can how come you aren't? That's extremely flawed logic.
