They culturally value your big, long holidays more. voice-verified

Whereas America is very much a culture of rise and grind. voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

And so I think if you don't like rise and grind culture, which has a lot of dark sides to it, I'm not going to stand here and defend, stand to thwart history, defending rise and grind. voice-verified

There's a lot of problems there. voice-verified

So if you don't like rise and grind, you have seen the consequences in our country of very genuine economic inequality. voice-verified

that is less related to billionaires and actually more related to the fact that the top 10% of America spends more than half of all of our consumer dollars. voice-verified

So capitalism in many ways is resulting in our country in a sense where a majority of Americans actually feel like they're on the outside looking in on their own economy. voice-verified

So you've got rise and grind, and then you've got economic inequality, and then you often have an unrealistic view of the benefits of a lot of European social welfare. voice-verified

And so you kind of have an idealized view of it. voice-verified

So the National Health Service in Britain is no Nirvana. voice-verified

There's a lot of things that if you put that in America, tens of millions of Americans would say, what is happening? voice-verified

This is not how medicine is supposed to work. voice-verified

But they have a kind of an idealized view of other systems. voice-verified

And so I think that that's really what's going on for a very large chunk of that population is there's a lot of discontent for legitimate reasons voice-verified

with the world that we live in. voice-verified

They look at other places with other priorities and feel as if that would be better. voice-verified

And they've called that socialism. voice-verified

And then there's all of us, you know, like the nerds going, socialism is the state ownership of the means of production. voice-verified

That's not, you know, because we're throwing out the dictionary definitions. voice-verified
