Every Nord I have ever met loves their system, and they are consistently ranked as the happiest and healthiest democracies in the world. They live longer, and have higher literacy.

Nordic countries (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Greenland) are all democratic socialist countries. You still have capitalists and millionaires; but basic housing, education through doctorate level, and all healthcare are subsidized through taxation.

They say may account is "in process." I can't log in still.

I thought about building a higher fence or stronger wall at my southern border; but then I realized it would be a waste of money. If they want to get across, they will get across. Then, I remembered that other displaced animals crossed the eastern border and no one complained about them.

But by and large, 80-90% of the critters are nice, hardworking, normal animals that just want to feed their families and find stability and security. We should welcome them and help them to feel useful, not turn them away over the actions of a few.

Unfortunately, the only copy of that story - and about 30 others - is "saved" in my Facebook profile, which Meta won't let me access. I even asked for a copy of my files. They have banned/deleted my page due to some hacker. I've appealed, and they turned it down.
