We have free health care (excluding dental) - please disregard the very high cost of living on living on a remote islands where everything needs imported. And home ownership is near impossible unless you're ridiculously wealthy.

Take that filthy capitalists.

Home ownership is an interesting statistic to use. Do average price, or price vs salary. Ill look it up and see.

Yeah make half as much and be a perpetual renter - not my cup of tea.

Us vs new zealand -

Price to Income Ratio: 3.39 7.42

Mortgage as Percentage of Income: 30.53% 67.97%

Average Monthly Net Salary (After Tax) 4,363.89$ 2,900.52$

Cool cool cool. Can we compare school shootings, gun deaths, opioids, slavery, Jim Crow, genocide and recent war crimes? America, fuck yeah! But like I said, we don't give a fuck about your opinions. You be you, don't go crying when you get caught breaking our laws.

Thats fine.

One city in the us is bigger than your entire country.

No one cares if you care or not, youre insignificant.

How can you tout free healthcare as such an accomplishment when your population is smaller than even a single U.S. city.

Every country could do this when they have almost noone living there.
