To this day, I still have no idea why my Norwegian friend became a US citizen and started living here in the US

STFU Brandon

If you were to move to Norway, knowing how to speak Norwegian would be socially beneficial. While just about every Norwegian can carry a conversation in English, it's mentally taxing enough that side conversations between Norwegians are done in Norwegian soon enough. And then it's only a matter of time until the main conversation is done partly in Norwegian.

I've seen a lot of international students feel left out, not because the Norwegians want to exclude them, but because it's less socialy draining to talk in the same language you think in.

having a lawless Gestapo kidnapping people and dragging them to concentration camps for minor civil infractions not being white

As a Norwegian, I would never call it health "insurance". It's just part of the social security that we pay taxes for.

No, it is just because he didn't get the Nobel Peace prize. He doesn't care about that other stuff in the slightest, because it is not about him.

He already got the FIFA Peace Prize™ 🏆, why is he complaining?

Well, the state is acting as a single payer for all health care its populace needs. The money is not going from you directly to the service provider. An example of that would be you paying someone to rotate your tires. Rather, the state is providing payment to the doctor for services provided to treat your health care needs. Thus, the state is acting as an insurer whose premium is the taxes you pay. You just get a whole lot of extras for the premium you pay (like road work, disaster relief, penalizing criminality, etc.). That is a textbook example of insurance.

*Edit: for those of you who doubt what I say, I ask you to look at history to as an illustration. When the US was last trying to adopt universal care under Obama, who was it that dumped the buckets of money on advertising to water it down to a mere marketplace from Romneycare? It was the private insurance companies. What was the main reform that got adopted in that in lieu of state coverage? That the insurance companies could no longer deny people with pre-existing conditions.

No it's not... it's a textbook example of a social safety net. aka Social Security. aka what they said.

The US is actually a great place to live if you are a wealthy white person.

A safety net is an synonym for insurance.

An... adjective? Did you mean to claim it's a synonym?

Trump's just jealous because Norway is the whitest country on Earth.

So all my taxes are going to insurance somehow?

Public transport insurance?

Public school insurance?

Public road insurance?

Fixed (it's late here), but glad you recognized my point.

Did you not see where I said this?

You just get a whole lot of extras for the premium you pay (like road work, disaster relief, penalizing criminality, etc.).

But, yeah, at a conceptual level, society is ultimately a safety net (synonym for insurance) when compared to the individualism from living pre-stone age.

Didn't he win champion of the year from a congressional hopeful too?

If you name everything America, you do bestly on cognitive tests.

but they're not synonyms either lol. Insurance is a very specific thing. It doesn't just mean "Anytime you collectivize costs" or "a safety net". It's a specific business model used to cover specific losses of specific things.

Just say the guy was right already.

Hes so butthurt that Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize and he didn't that he is willing to tank our relations with an unaffiliated party over it.

I for one feel very satisfied that Trump hates us. I take it as a huge compliment.

Nothing has grossed me out more than when Trump years ago said he wanted more Norwegian immigrants and less immigrants from "shithole countries."

To quote Rick & Morty: "Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer!"

No insurance is a scam posing as a safety net.

Die faster, pedo.

Lol

You could have left it at wealthy.

Nah. If your rich and not white there are still major downsides. It's definitely more important how much money you have these days, but like, racism is still extremely common.

It's because they didn't give him a Nobel. Narcissists are simple creatures.

Gut shot, the kind that takes hours or days

I mean, the state provides public schools, free for all aged ≈5-18, but we don’t call it “education insurance.”

This is very american-centric thinking. Its just a service provided by the state on a needs basis. Like a road, or the immigration office.

Cause of all the snow?

Then you still run the risk of getting randomly shot by ICE

The shithead just said "why don't we ever get people wanting to move here from Norway or Sweden" then says this?

Dumb addled brain pedo...

This is actually hilarious. “Have they made another one?”. 😆 omg I hate this man but i had to laugh out loud. Is like watching a comedy sketch in real life. He becomes more and more unhinged and a real parody of himself everyday

but we don’t call it “education insurance.”

Did you not see where I said this?

You just get a whole lot of extras for the premium you pay (like road work, disaster relief, penalizing criminality, etc.).

OK, they pay "health insurance premiums" and just happen to get the rest of a working state as extras. Got it.

America brain is so weird sometimes.

Let's go thrombo!

Demento Don doesn't remember that his term was shithole country.

That would explain his obsession with Greenland.

It’s a specific business model used to cover specific losses of specific things.

It can be.

Have they made another one?

What did he say?

No but you could call it dumbass insurance, that would be pretty cool.
