I recognized that from Orwell, looked it up. So, see if you can actually close a post like a respectable gentleman .
Which specific contradiction are you pointing to? You have the 3. Are you applying that standard toboth parties, or just the side you disagree with? Give me a concrete example of what you mean.
@Great-King-Rat saidIt’s not? But it is, silly rat. A govt created agency for god sake.
ICE is not “govt/law” - or at least pretending to?
Are you sonhouse? We have enough sunhouses on this form. And remember people like Susie read these things and I worry that they will take them for granted as fact. Here yours is a lie.
@AverageJoe1 said- A woman was granted a bullet in her head by ICE because she wanted to drive away.

- You countered saying “I was talking about govt”.
- I ask, is ICE not “govt”?
- You then say, “erm, ICE is govt, Rat”.
Have you been drinking? I mean more than usual?
@Great-King-Rat saidICE is govt. why write rat. Forked tongue,

@Great-King-Rat saidWhat a stupid comment. OK, a street raper is shot while walking away. Same thing.. and yes, I was talking about government. I guess you were talking about the person driving the car.??? why don’t you write about the person driving the car, like you have written 100 times on the forum , nobody gives a crap about this girl who did not follow Police Orders et al, which is law.

Clearly, you have been drinking.
Long story short, in Singapore you can get a hefty fine for littering, in America you can get a governmental bullet in the head for wanting to drive away.

America
• Market Size and Scale: The U.S. features a massive, single domestic market of over 330 million consumers with a uniform language and regulatory baseline. By contrast, while the Netherlands benefits from the European Union's single market, businesses still navigate varying national regulations, languages, and localized consumer cultures when scaling abroad.
• Venture Capital and Risk Capital: The U.S.—specifically hubs like Silicon Valley and New York—has a deep, aggressive ecosystem of angel investors, venture capital, and private equity. U.S. investors show a higher tolerance for risk and failure. The Netherlands and Europe rely more heavily on bank-oriented lending and smaller, more risk-averse funding pools.
• Taxes and Income Compression: The U.S. generally offers lower top marginal income tax rates, lighter capital gains taxation, and greater rewards for equity compensation (like stock options). The Netherlands operates a social-democratic model focused on income redistribution, strong social safety nets, and higher effective taxation on both labor and capital, which compresses extreme wealth gaps.
• Labor and Corporate Flexibility: U.S. labor laws are far more flexible regarding hiring and firing, reducing fixed costs for scaling businesses. European and Dutch labor markets feature stronger worker protections, collective bargaining, and mandatory social contributions that increase the cost of scaling a workforce.
• Cultural Focus on Equality vs. Individual Upside: As noted in economic analyses like Bloomberg AI, the American system is structured to allow massive, self-made wealth spikes, whereas the Dutch and broader European model prioritizes high baseline security, universal healthcare, and reduced societal inequality over outlier wealth accumulation.

Key Comparisons
• Global Standing:
• The Netherlands consistently places near the very top of global well-being lists (often in the top 5 to 10).
• The United States sits further down the list, trailing behind many Western European and Nordic nations.
The Netherlands has significantly lower birth-related mortality rates than the United States, both for mothers (maternal mortality) and for infants (infant mortality). While the U.S. experiences the highest maternal mortality rate among high-income nations, the Netherlands ranks among the safest countries in the world to give birth.
Maternal Mortality
The difference in maternal deaths—defined as pregnancy-related deaths during pregnancy or within 42 days of childbirth—is stark:
• United States: The maternal mortality rate sits at approximately 22 deaths per 100,000 live births. Within the U.S., severe racial and geographic disparities exist; for instance, Black women experience a rate of nearly 50 deaths per 100,000.
