Sorry buddy, but once we examine them with these carefully picked metrics Finnland will be doing better under every category.

I want every person who glances at this seriouspost to understand that literally 99% of "studies" that show Scandinavia having any kind of advantage are literally (literally, not smugpost literally) studies that test how similar a system is to the Scandinavian model for whatever it is.
Entire volumes of Reddit socialist studies on outcomes are literally "scientists" comparing systems to Sweden and evaluating how alike they are.

If you like living in cold darkness and not making eye contact with strangers, itβs paradise. Iβll take the wealthy areas of the US Southwest though.

Agriculture doesnt compare to industrial and service based economic output

I think they mean in terms of how much more industrial and service industries could contribute to economic growth and development. Domestic agriculture in the US is predominantly automated resource extraction. There is little value-add and little employment gain. Not to mention that it is limited by real estate, which means that it does not scale like a professional services company can.

How do service "industries" contribute to anything but bullshit purely on paper economic output? Imagine a world where a large part of the population are Walmart greeters and do nothing but greet each other: you're literally better off in terms of real economy by killing them off and not even using them to produce methane in bioreactors but just not wasting any resources on them.

If Walmart forced customers to have to nagivate through that many greeters, customer defection rates would kill it within a week.

Just to return to this, what I stated before applies to industrial sector's advantage over agriculture, as well. Industrial production is far more space efficient when scaling because a factory can produce far more value in the land it occupies than the crops that could be grown on it. There is also far more value-add in industrial production than agriculture.

It's like when people smugpost about how rich California is while in the same breath advocate for dialing back it's cash crop farming that provides massive amounts of income and industry for the state.

This couldn't be related to average American test scores being better than most of Europe if you just filter out a few people, could it.
