I'll take Sweden if all the furniture is by IKEA and we get those delicious meatballs in the gravy...
But there absolutely is a lot in this country that needs to change. I'm not arguing against that, but any change that's going to occur needs to be beyond meaningless gestures and virtue signals that make white upper-middle class post graduates feel like "allies" to "marginalized groups".
We could start by ending all of these stupid multi-decade wars. I really think that would be the most meaningful first step, and then after that we can rebuild the country's decaying infrastructure, including heavily investing in free or inexpensive public transportation (I'd personally like to see monorails) to the point where it would cause a significant reduction in personal vehicles: that's one big financial liability gone for a lot of people living at the poverty line & less black trucks on the road.
Those are two things we could just do. One tomorrow and one by the end of the next five or so years depending on how well we mobilize for it.
