Funny how their average wage is much higher than ours, cost of products/utilities etc much lower than over here under Liebour
Cost of products - healthcare - knew of a guy who needed spinal surgery which would have cost him a million dollars uninsured and the insurance company kicked him out of his policy after 30 years of paying in - so yeah...
Food products, clothing, footwear, petrol, gas, electricity, houses, cars etc. Their healthcare has always been naff.
