In reply to the discussion: Burger King in Denmark vs Burger King in the United States.. [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)22. Denmark is extremely expensive to live in, but
most people are pretty happy with it.
Very notably, however, contrary to many of Bernie Sanders' very dishonest suggestions, Denmark has a free market economy. Nasty old capitalism is very alive and well there, as we see from Burger King's presence.
Btw, my DIL is Danish, and she lost tolerance for Sanders' misrepresentations about her country long ago. "And those people call HER a liar?!" was her last comment on Bernie that I recall.
