"Healthy people cost less.
Educated people contribute more.
Housed people are more stable.

...in a healthy society there are no "undeserving".
There are just people."

@argals while I fully embrace and endorse the sentiment and message from the Norwegian, I wonder if all Norwegians would be as enthusiastic about paying for public goods to support everybody in Norway if they had as ethnically diverse a populace as the US does

@pinsk @argals The thing about that statement is that investing in public goods and a country's demographic makeup are unrelated, and it only serves racists to conflate the two.

@jmopp @argals I am only observing that a significant portion of Americans are hostile to the idea of public goods and public welfare and I'm pretty sure it's because of their racism and explicitly opposed to the sentiment expressed in the original post. I would rather we all were like the Norwegian, alas.
