Why is it Scandinavian-Americans are wealthier and live longer than Scandinavians?

OP, I think this is too academic for this board. But, thanks for posting. It's a good read.

Stop mixing contexts. In the context of politics its about keeping unfalsifiable beliefs out of the public sphere, not to be confused with philosophical secularism.

Well for one it's filled with more Europeans. You know the ones, those racist slave owners that founded this ****hole? Yeah, a place with lots of people who like Trump is doing better than our "melting" pot.


I sure hope they keep going with this series. My guess is that they'll cross over from the reality their lying eyes tell them everyday to the politically correct patois that their "social" science backgrounds demand of them.

I reject their measurements of gun ownership, capital punishment and intensive sex ed as a sign of how a country is doing. what kind of horse manure is that?

here's how I measure it...

the GDP per capita in all of the EU is ~$37K (in 2015)

the GDP per capita in the US (as of 3 yrs ago) was $57K. Its higher now
