gollark: So it's more like "things Denmark and Sweden do and why I think they're great"?
gollark: Vaguely relatedly, I would be a bit dubious of a plan to "change the economy and political structure for a better, stronger, richer country that puts citizens first", inasmuch as presumably if there was an easy/comparatively obvious way to do that some countries would likely already try this.
gollark: I don't know. Sure, if you want?
gollark: Learning about electronics might be interesting.
gollark: Hmm. Well. It seems like you've gone through basically everything I might suggest and also a large amount of things I haven't, so no idea then.
