I'm sorry for the badly paced subtitles, guys. It's my first attempt, this guy speaks super fast and there's a ton of information. I'll do better next time.
Yeah😅. This was much funnier than part one. Part1 was not bad, opposite. I myself leave quite long comment there also. This one was funnier,and directed more openly to US, with good roasting with some selected, very good facts. Yeah,go Norway. Nordics are one of the best place to live, if not THE best😅 ❤ and respect, your brothers and sisters in Finland
Yeah, it's almost too complex to understand, but a lot of it has to do with citizen's united, but it doesn't really start there. What the republican party is doing in the US and the conservative parties are doing to a lesser extent here in Norway, is that when they're in power, they make public services worse on purpose. They do this gradually over time so you don't notice it right away, so that when a democrat is in office they can turn around and point at all the terrible services and say "Look how bad things get when the state runs them!" And that creates acceptance in the population for privatization, which is almost always worse for the people.
@@ChiliConCarnageA bit simplistic, and suited to misguide. Even in our social democracy, we depend on strong private enterprise as well as a strong government. We need both. There is nothing wrong with private enterprise if it is being monitored and checked by government to uphold agreed upon standards. I.e: Government guarantees you free choice of hospitals when you need some medical procedure or service. Government pays the bill, set the standards to qualify the hospitals, and make sure they uphold those standards. Hospitals compete to deliver the best and most effective service. Best of both worlds. As in part one, the hospitals that deliver the most for the money (Remember the sowing of shirts example), will gain advantage and drive the standards of service forward and upwards in questions of quality and patient satisfaction. But this will only work if State and private enterprise both do their job. Private enterprise has an obvious incentive, where State incentives is determined on the ballots of the political parties that is elected to parliament. All political parties are not aligned on how to deliver the best services to the populace. Result, a very diverse set of services provided across the nation. Norway has placed the obligation to provide the basic services to the populace at the lowest level of governments. Namely the communes. Local government is the commune, regional government is the county (Fylke), and then you have the State on top. If you need hospital care, the main rule is you must choose a hospital within your county. If it is a special case, there are hospitals across Norway that specializes in different fields of medicine, and you will receive care in the one closest to you, or the one that has best capacity, depending on the urgency and your situation. Norwegians are customed to waiting lists for simple procedures that could have been performed more efficiently by private hospitals. Our politicians and the richest people use the option of funding their own procedures as they can afford it. It has created a crack in the image that Harald Eia is depicting here. The problem when State, County and Commune aspire to deliver and run health care services, they are not competing like the Shirt example that Harald pointed out was fundamental for efficiency and advancement in technology etc. They have other incentives, and more obscure and hard to meassure. But mainly the government wants more service out of every krone (NOK) spent. But with the lack of incentives and freedom to invest in upgraded administrative systems and technological equipment, the trend is just more burocracy and complicated procurement practices, leading to longer waiting lists and slow productivity. Also the hospital facilities themselves are prone to be underfunded in regard to maintenance and upgrades. Old and outdated hospitals has been allowed to keep deliviering services even though healthcare professionals and staff has voiced concern and also at times raised alarm for difficult and dangerous work environments that directly or indirectly affects patient security and quality of care. Currently, there are a number of projects to build new and modern facilities, but even those suffer from underfunding and quality reduction as compromizes was made to satisfy budget restrictions and political points to serve a sitting government elected for only 4 years as a term. This is the weakness of our democracy, that politicians speculate in scoring points within their elected term, and gambling on the voters inability to remember and place blame where it should be placed. There is not a satisfactory mechanism in which the governmentis subject to in order to secure long term good solutions to these and other challenges in Norway. Same goes for any country. So there has to be trust between the Government and the populace. That trust is a fragile commodity, and it needs to be served fresh every day, as it will not keep very long. It is the most precious commodity though, and thus it should give politicians incentives to be sensitive and change course if the course chosen does not lead us to where we need to go. Dogmatic and ideologically stagnant politicians uses slogans that used to work and kept the populace united. New ideas that depend on rational thought and takes into account our current challenges and situation, is met with distrust and labeled dangerous (ref: Harald Eias example of skiing technique). When we see systems failing we tend to pour more resources into it to do more of the same. It is very seldom the cure. In Norway we all want to strengthen the welfare system and make it work. But sadly, we are scared to leave some old and tried practices behind, to try a new approach. Even if those use tried and known to work mechanisms. Welcome to Norway! 😄
Hi, Norwegian here. It's capitalism... That's what's wrong with the American economy. Karl Marx argued that capitalism leads to the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few, exploitation of the working class, cyclical economic crises, and alienation of individuals from their labor.
