Jose Mendieta’s Reviews > The Nordic Theory of Everything: In Search of a Better Life > Status Update

We’re great at striving to be our own selves and highly motivated to succeed in life. It’s because everything here is in a hierarchy merit. The Nordics should learn that while it is important to have everyone have the same field, they can also feel well to be different and celebrate their achievements.

If only we lived in a world where all billionaires understood that they have to pay their shares live wouldn’t be so bad. Innovation and growth doesn’t come by demeaning and selfishly taking from your workers. You can still grow in the US and give your employees a fair time off.

The year was 2014 and we Americans have started to see the immense gap between the rich and the poor. We’ve understood that it’s getting harder to just reach comfortable middle class. It’s 2026, and we’re noticing again. Why? What happened between those years? Why did we stop being class conscious and focused more on political identities? We all know the answer to that question.

I’m all for getting your shit together and working for the things that you want. But they keep making it harder for the average American while making it easier for the wealthy. We defund public schools and applaud for private schools built around them. Every child has the same opportunity is a complete lie. HELL WE DONT EVEN FEED THEM. Only 9 states give free lunches no matter what. 9. awful.

We’ve been decreasing the tax rates for the riche since the 1980s?! We need smart government not big government

A lot of Americans yell out no handouts, but are the sole beneficiaries of handouts. I never understood why they vote against their own interests? The middle class families are the ones who are receiving the most in gov support. I need a cigarette

People rage against the thought of having to care for all but barely do anything when insurance companies continue to raise the prices and gouge the people from getting care. All in the name of freedom we rather see our people suffer but sub when it comes to big corporations taking advantage of us

So just to be clear this book was published in 2016 stating that in order to live comfortably after retirement Americans would need to have saved a million. To cover every day necessities. Average American retries with 60k ……. It’s still the same in 2026. But we’re the greatest nation in the world.

We think our doctors are lying to us and are for profit when it comes to our treatments.Which in many cases it’s true. I had to learn myself to fight off overcharges from my insurance. That’s something they hate that we do because we catch them abusing us.

It’s hard to get care in America even when we have the best doctors the best medicine the best institutions. It’s only available for the wealthy and why do we let companies that are for profit decide our care? We can get fired and they take away our care that’s sad
