    Sounds like conditions people would immigrate from

    Sure I live in a Scandinavian country where I pay 40% tax + 8% labor market contribution and maybe $150 a month to my union. but I have only 1 job that needs no education, live in a rented house with 3 bedrooms, big garden, we have 1 small car and have not only access but the right to free Medicaid, free education, 5 weeks paid vacation, 24 weeks paid maternity leave and pay while sick plus pension and health insurance that kicks in if the free Medicaid for any reason is mayne too slow or not good enough.

    We did have to move out of the city though (1min drive to closest large city but the helps anyone with transportation expenses if they are more than a certain distance)

    Politicians have recently argued that they need to import more workforce because we need more workers especially in elder care.

    If you are willing to work half as much as you do now you can have a great life in Europe.
