Going to be honest, not a fan of the sudden influx of video “articles”.

If you pay half your income in taxes, you need a new accountant.

The population of Denmark is under 6 million people. It’s a lot easier to implement social programs like this when you’re dealing with a much smaller population. Denmark, like many other “idyllic” Scandinavian countries, is a monoculture.  Again, much easier to get everyone onboard when everyone shares common values…
