Still rather have a child here with our medical system.

Why? 6.1 infant mortality rate vs. Finland's 2.3 We're paying more for less

Population of 5 mil people vs 300+ stats are skewed

Compare EU with US then ...

That wasn’t the statement.

Across the EU it's 3.2 compared with US 6.1. 500m v 350m ... Skewer those stats

Well I was clearly simplifying that population was the cause but there are tons of reasons. Twitter just isn’t the mechanism for multi point debate in my opinion

Keep on twisting that strawman to avoid any serious debate! Way to go, man!

And the leave can be split between both parents.

We did it. Not gonna lie, it was awesome

I’m in Canada, and I think I paid $60 for parking. I also took 6 months, 10/10, would recommend it

Where TF did you park for $60? The moon?

Lol. Come to NYC...60 sounds GREAT

The Fins have 4% poverty. We have 15%. They also don’t pay health insurance premiums, high copays, public utilities are cheaper, cellphone bills are cheaper, college has no tuition, so they don’t have students loans. I may take more home in a paycheck, but I spend more on living.

Finland is not a socialist system. A regulated capitalism does not equal socialism.

Americans think they have regulated capitalism. Basically Finland is very heavily socialized. What to call it depends on where you grew up. I grew up in the US. I go between Sweden and the US and consider to be heavily socialized as well. Definitely prefer it.

They actually aren’t socialized. For instance Norway doesn’t have a minimum wage standard, but they do have worker unions that negotiate wages. Our country works against unions and keeps wages artificially low.
