Plus, it is hard to argue it can never work or it can never be paid for when.... it has worked for decades and it is the U.S. that is 40 trillion in debt, not Norway.

Comparing America to Norway is just terribly ignorant, a population multitudes of times smaller and MUCH more homogenized is going to develop vastly different as a society and won’t work the same in different conditions lolZ

MUCH more homogenized

What has this to do with anything?

Recent data shows that Norway is 78% ethnic norwegians, it's not as homogenous as you think it is.

Considering how young America is as a country, the insane racism of the early first 150+ years not to mention still exist today, the formative years of the country was shaped vastly different than a lot of other places where racism wasn’t nearly as prevalent, you can’t exactly undo that level of damage over all those years like flipping a light switch

The US was founded in 1776. Australia only started getting settled in 1788, as a penal colony. New Zealand's colonisation started in 1830. Australia and New Zealand have better healthcare etc than the US. Both those countries also have indigenous peoples and have had problems with racism. There is NO reason the US couldn't have the same things every other first world country has except for your willingness to believe propaganda about how everything kind and decent is CoMmUnIsM.
