Listen, speaking as an American, we know Danes have better quality of life, but we’ll be damned if we will sacrifice capitalism to get there! Our motto is “if you’re not working, you’re losing money!” That only applies to the lower ranks, of course.

Seriously tho, I would love to live in a society that expects companies to hold the well-being of their employees over profits (not that these two are mutually exclusive), and the culture is changing slowly, but we’re not there yet.

Denmark is capitalist. High investment rates are literally their biggest internal economic driver.

from Wikipedia:

The labour market is traditionally characterized by a high degree of union membership rates and collective agreement coverage.

Well, there's the problem. Our capitalists say that's stupid, they'll just lose money!

I'm a capitalist and unions are dope. The two are clearly not incompatible.

Let's get union reform like these countries too

[-] Pandantic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I agree. I wish more capitalists in charge did!

Tide definitely seems to be turning, at last

[-] myplacedk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Exactly, that's the thing. Here in Denmark, many (most?) companies think that happy workers are more productive.

I might be colored by mostly working in places where it's very expensive to replace an employee, but then again, for Americans I mostly talk with people in a similar kind of job.
