Employers will do almost anything to find workers except pay them more

If it wasn't for "socialist Europe", our health care would be shit (see the US where people die on the streets because they can't afford an ambulance), my brother would be homeless and probably dead, my dad would've been without any income at age 60, years before his retirement, my sister wouldn't have been able to attend university, and I wouldn't have been able to attend college and land a job in Amsterdam where I ended up out-earning my dad within a couple years.

This "taxes pay for lazy fucks" meme needs to die.

Speaking of memes that need to die:

> see the US where people die on the streets because they can't afford an ambulance

American hospitals cannot deny emergency treatment for lack of ability to pay.

No but people avoid going to the doctor until it's too late because they'd rather not go bankrupt

Then maybe GP should say that instead of making false statements about ambulances for dramatic effect. Ambulances are for emergencies. Nobody has ever died because they couldn't afford an ambulance to take them to their chemotherapy appointment.
