2. See more recent info already posted.

Thanks for proving my point that Denmark was an oil exporting country for 25 years and now we get to see how they do without their oil and gas crutch.

4% of their economy, at its peak, was not much of a crutch.

They do other things.

LEGOs, Carlsberg Beer, Tivoli, Tuborg Beer, Furnture, etc.

Denmark ain't no perfect place out of Star Trek but it's a far cry from Gabon.

In some respects they are and in some they aren't. Denmark is not a true socialist nation and there population is a hell of a lot smaller. Did you even read the article?

workingclasshero posted this garbage in a previous thread, which I soundly disproved, so here goes again:

Suicide rate by country
United States: 13.7 Suicides per 100,000 people in 2016
Denmark: 9.2 Suicides per 100,000 people in 2016
