Person B "well, why didn't they adopt every single child in need? Fucking media!"

I also thought about it again and took a closer look at the paper. Their sample includes dogs in the age of 0 to 15 years, so our calculated age is extrapolated. Probably the formula works in their range quite well, but at twice the age of their maximum age, the formula is perhaps no longer applicable. His age is probably somewhere between this result and the conventional formula.

We are not over populated. Birth rates are dropping all over the world below replacement rates.

Don't have a dog if you can't take care if it. You have no right to try and fill your needs of companionship but not have the ability to meet that poor creatures needs.

Besides, the difference isn't even that big between the US and the Nordic, at least not when you account for US payments that aren't taxes, e.g. health insurance. Or education...
And if you get into an accident, you won't be billed 3000 or 5000 dollars for an ambulance ride (not even joking). Medicines that are way more covered elsewhere can be pricey in America, like insulin. Et cetera, et cetera.

A mountain lion wandered into Los Angeles County and lived just a few miles from downtown LA. In Griffith park for 10 years

That the good part of living in a commie country like Sweden.
I need to go to the doctor, $20, that includes operations etc.
Need meds? Are you under 18? Free. Otherwise you don't have to pay more than $180 in a year before it gets... Free.
Dental, that's the thing that can cost you. Under 18? Free. Otherwise you can have to pay a bit, a root canal is about $400
Need sick days? Sure, have a years worth! You need a doctor's note after you've been sick for 7 days.
Vacation? Sure, here take 25 days paid per year - also the company have to give the between june-august (if you want), summer vacations is nice.
Need to work overtime? Sure, the payrate goes up the minute you go past 40 hours a week. No working for "free".
Also 10 days paid no questions asked leave for personal matters, let's say a parent passes away and you need to sort out stuff and go to the funeral.
Free schools, free lunches (that has to be nutritious), free schools bus rides.
Need to have kids in the kindergarten so you can work? Sure, fee is based on how much you make, so it is affordable. That can include evening/nights if you work those shifts (don't know about that first hand tho)
I pay taxes out of my ass for it tho, but I am happy do do it. I know my kids will be fed in school and I am not afraid of getting sick or having to go to the doctor.
