Canada is challenging decades of military habit—breaking away from the U.S. defence pipeline to forge new alliances in Europe. With the launch of the Defence Investment Agency, Ottawa is making a bold bid for sovereignty and strategic diversification. But is ditching American compatibility for European complexity a smart move or a costly gamble? Watch the full video for a deep dive into Canada’s new defence doctrine, Carney’s military ambitions, and what it means for global power alignments.

Carney’s War Machine: The Agency Built to Arm Canada

House of El 2025-10-11 | Canada just announced the creation of a new Defence Investment Agency to streamline its military procurement process. But can one centralized office really deliver faster, more effective results, or is this just bureaucracy rebranded? In this video, we unpack Canada’s evolving defence strategy under Prime Minister Mark Carney, exploring what this agency means for national security, military modernization, and Canada’s global alliances.

We’ll explore:
Why military procurement in Canada has been historically slow and inefficient
How the new agency plans to cut red tape and speed up defence delivery
The risks of centralizing procurement power under one office
Canada’s shifting military relationship with the U.S. and the EU
What this means for NATO readiness and industrial self-sufficiency

From submarines and fighter jets to strategic autonomy and international defence cooperation, this is a deep dive into what may be Canada’s boldest military reform in decades.

📌 Watch to the end for a reflection on speed vs. control in defence strategy—and the hidden trade-offs in reforming government systems.

Many still misunderstand impeachment: it’s not removal, it’s accusation. And for Trump, it’s becoming a recurring headline. This Short explains why the third push for impeachment matters more than the first two—because it’s coming from swing voters, not partisans. Explore how the American presidency remains powerful yet precarious—and why public sentiment may be the true force reshaping this administration.

Trump's second term began with fanfare—but swing district sentiment is turning fast. Nearly half now support impeachment, revealing a crisis unfolding far from social media. In this Short, we examine why winning isn’t the same as governing—and what the polling data says about Trump’s real vulnerability. Watch the full video for a deeper dive into how impeachment works, the myth of the political mandate, and the voters who truly decide American politics.

POLL SHOCK: Trump’s Presidency in CRISIS

House of El 2025-10-07 | Donald Trump is back in the White House, but support in swing districts is vanishing fast.

We’ll cover:
📉 Why Trump's approval is collapsing in key battleground districts

This short reveals how a single mega-merger rewired global power dynamics—and why Washington may be too late. Watch the full video for a deeper dive into Canada’s rise, the $53B Teck-Anglo deal, and what this means for the energy transition, EVs, and U.S. national security.

Canada and UK Just SIDELINED the USA on COPPER

House of El 2025-10-04 | The 21st century isn’t powered by oil, rather it’s powered by copper. From EVs and wind turbines to AI data centers and military defense, copper is the quiet artery of modern power. And with a $53B mega-merger between Anglo American and Teck Resources, Canada has just redrawn the global copper map, leaving the United States sidelined and China scrambling for supply.

In this video, we explore:
Why copper is the new oil in the global economy.
How a single merger turned Canada into a copper superpower and unexpected gatekeeper.
Why the US lost influence over critical minerals supply chains.
How China and Europe must now adapt in the race for electrification.
What this shift means for the energy transition, AI, and global geopolitics.

🌍 Whether it’s electric vehicles, green energy, or defense systems, copper isn’t just a metal, it’s the battleground of the 21st century.

The Canada–Italy Pact Washington NEVER Saw Coming

House of El 2025-09-30 | Canada and Italy are quietly building a new alliance that could reshape global trade, defense, and energy. 🇨🇦🇮🇹 While Washington watches, Ottawa is moving beyond old dependencies, partnering with Rome to open a new power corridor into Europe.

In this video, we explore:
Why Canada is teaming up with Italy now, and what’s driving this new partnership
How Italian shipbuilding (Fincantieri) and Canadian defense needs are changing the balance of naval power
The energy corridor: Canada’s renewable surplus meets Italy’s Mediterranean hydrogen hub
The hidden role of Canadian grain and Italian food industries in geopolitical stability
What this means for Washington, Brussels, and the future of transatlantic relations

Canada Says NO to Trump’s Water Grab — USA Stunned

In a time of growing drought, political turmoil, and resource scarcity, America turned to its quiet neighbor for help. But this time, Canada didn’t flinch. It didn’t hesitate.

Why Poor Europeans Live Longer Than Rich Americans

House of El 2025-09-20 | 🧠 Wealth ≠ Health: Why Rich Americans Die Younger Than Poor Europeans

Imagine earning six figures, living in a gated community… and still dying younger than someone earning minimum wage in Sweden. This isn’t fiction. It’s the real (and rising) gap between money and mortality.

In this video, we dive into the shocking paradox of American longevity. A massive new dataset from Brown University found that rich Americans have higher mortality rates than even the poorest citizens of Northern Europe. That’s right—wealth doesn’t always buy time.

So what’s going on?
We break it down across four chapters:
1️⃣ The data behind this disturbing health gap
2️⃣ Europe’s structural advantage: healthcare, welfare, and public stability
3️⃣ Why chronic disease and ultra-processed lifestyles are shortening American lives
4️⃣ The Preston Curve and how inequality undermines even the wealthy

Whether you’re curious about U.S. vs. Europe, the hidden cost of burnout, or how policy shapes public health, this is for you.

📉 If America is the richest country in the world…
💔 Why is it also one of the sickest?

🇺🇸 Why U.S. Grocery Prices Won’t Drop Anytime Soon

House of El 2025-09-14 | Trump may declare inflation over, but grocery prices tell a different story. This Short explores how U.S. tariffs on countries like Canada are silently fueling cost-push inflation across North America. Learn how trade policy, not just corporate greed or supply chains, may be why your food bill won’t budge. Watch the full video to discover the hidden feedback loops shaping your economy.

U.S. Tariffs Are Backfiring and Making Inflation WORSE

House of El 2025-09-13 | Donald Trump says inflation is over. But at the grocery store, the numbers tell a different story. In this video, we explore the widening gap between official U.S. inflation data and the everyday cost of living and why millions of Americans and Canadians still feel like they’re paying more for less. From supermarket receipts to trade policy, this is a deep dive into the real-world economics behind the headlines.

We break down how Trump’s tariffs on countries like Canada, China, and the EU have created a cost-push inflation loop, where supply chain pressures and retaliatory trade policies quietly raise prices across borders. While headlines blame "greedy corporations" or "supply chain issues," we trace how these symptoms often stem from deliberate political decisions, especially those aimed at reshaping America’s economic identity.

💡 We untangle concepts like: Cost-push inflation, Headline vs core inflation, The ripple effects of Trump’s tariff policy, The role of the Federal Reserve vs political pressure, Why prices rarely fall, and what it takes when they do

📉 This isn’t just a U.S. story. It’s a North American economic loop where Canadian and American households are both feeling the same pressure, just through different policy filters.

Why Canada Isn’t Desperate for Trump’s America

House of El 2025-09-12 | Canada's trade with the U.S. looks like dependence—but it's actually a case study in strategic leverage. In this Short, we unpack why Prime Minister Mark Carney’s calm isn’t weakness, but a deliberate economic defense. Learn how trade diplomacy, not loud politics, is reshaping North American power. Watch the full video to see how Canada balances risk, sovereignty, and global positioning in an age of volatility.

Carney Turns Back on U.S. - China’s the Next Plan?

House of El 2025-09-11 | While the world spirals into volatility, Canada is doing something unexpected - it’s holding steady.

In this video, we break down how Canada’s current leadership is quietly redefining the country’s role in global power structures. From trade with the U.S. and China, to fiscal rebalancing, to geopolitical discipline, this is a masterclass in restrained, deliberate statecraft.

In a world where nations are either escalating or retreating, Canada is doing something rare: it’s managing its relationships without letting them manage its destiny. Whether it’s declining to overreact to U.S. volatility, cautiously expanding trade with China, or refusing to treat diplomacy like a zero-sum game, this government is operating with the long game in mind. The goal is not to dominate headlines, but to quietly reposition Canada as a stable node in an unstable system. This is what leverage looks like when it wears a suit and speaks softly.

Canada vs USA: The Quiet Defense Rebellion

House of El 2025-09-10 | Canada’s refusal to outsource submarine construction to the U.S. marks a pivotal moment in North American defense politics. This short unpacks the economic and symbolic shockwaves, revealing how Ottawa’s choice is challenging old alliance norms. Dive into the full video for a detailed look at the strategic calculus behind this move and what it might mean for U.S. influence and future defense partnerships.

Canada REJECTS Trump’s $20B Submarine Deal - U.S. Suffers

House of El 2025-09-09 | What happens when Canada says no, not to a trade partner, but to the United States?

In this video, we unpack the $20 billion submarine contract that Ottawa quietly redirected away from American shipyards, breaking with decades of unspoken defense tradition. What followed wasn’t scandal, but a strategic rupture. A handshake deal went unshaken. Thousands of jobs shifted. And the logic of North American defense was quietly rewritten.

🔹 In this video, we explore:
– Why Canada rejected U.S. defense contractors in favor of building submarines at home
– How this decision reshapes defense alliances, industrial power, and supply chain dynamics
– The deep ripple effects across Connecticut, Ohio, Halifax, Vancouver, and beyond
– Why this signals a deeper shift in how alliances are negotiated, not assumed
– The growing logic of economic self-sufficiency in a time of tariffs and strategic competition

🧠 This isn't just about submarines. It’s about who gets to shape the rules in a world where even allies are drawing lines.

⚠ Quick note from El: This video was based on a few publicly available analyses, including commentary videos. Some viewers have pointed out possible inaccuracies in how the submarine contract was described. I’ll be double-checking the sources and updating this post if corrections are needed. Thanks for watching and for holding me to high standards.

Why the U.S. Is Hurting Canada’s Economy (On Purpose)

House of El 2025-09-07 | Canada’s economic contraction looks alarming on the surface, but there’s more beneath the numbers. U.S. tariffs have caused major damage to key Canadian sectors like auto manufacturing, but instead of fighting back, Canada is using the moment to realign its economy away from American volatility. This Short unpacks the pain and the pivot, but the full video explains the deeper strategy behind Canada’s new global alliances and why it could be a turning point. Watch now to understand the geopolitics reshaping North America.

Canada’s Economy Is Shrinking - But That’s Not the Whole Story

House of El 2025-09-06 | Canada's economy is now in a technical recession, with GDP shrinking by 1.6% in Q2 2025, following a 2% drop in Q1. Export numbers are sharply down. Business investment has weakened. And U.S. tariffs under the Trump administration (particularly targeting cars, steel, and aluminum) are beginning to show real bite.

But this economic contraction, while real, is not necessarily a crisis. In fact, it's part of a broader, deliberate shift in Canada’s economic strategy, one that’s quietly moving the country away from overreliance on the United States, and toward deeper partnerships with Europe, the Nordic countries, and multilateral trade blocs.

🎯 Topics we’ll explore:
What a GDP contraction actually means
How Trump-era tariffs are affecting Canada’s exports
Why this downturn was expected by economists and policymakers
The strategic push toward economic sovereignty and diversification
Why GDP doesn’t tell the whole story about economic resilience or future growth
And how Canada is quietly building something that may outlast the volatility

📊 This isn’t a panic video. It’s a map of what’s really happening.

The Tariffs That Broke the Rules — And Still Got Through

House of El 2025-09-02 | In 2025, a U.S. federal court ruled that many of Donald Trump’s tariffs were unlawful — and yet, they’re still in effect. This video breaks down why those tariffs remain, what legal loopholes are being used to justify them, and how the case is shaping debates about executive power, emergency declarations, and the future of U.S. trade policy. We explore the role of IEEPA (the International Emergency Economic Powers Act), the boundaries of presidential authority, and the constitutional tension between Congress and the White House.

From Canada and China to Germany and Brazil, we examine how key trade partners were targeted — and why the U.S. Court of International Trade, followed by the Court of Appeals, struck down these measures as an overreach. With a possible Supreme Court appeal pending, the legal stay means the tariffs remain active, despite clear judicial rulings.

We also look at the real-world impact: rising input costs for U.S. manufacturers, budget strain on hospitals and school districts, and retaliation from allies like the EU and Canada. We’ll explain how tariffs became a de facto tax to offset revenue lost from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act — and why Oregon joined the lawsuit against the federal government.

This case is about more than tariffs. It’s about power, precedent, and the rule of law — and how much legal flexibility presidents should have in moments of so-called economic emergency.

📊 THIS VIDEO IS RELEVANT FOR:
Viewers in the United States, Canada, EU, UK, Germany, Nordics, India, Australia
Those interested in Trump 2025, U.S. elections, executive orders, trade wars, foreign policy
Anyone following the Supreme Court, constitutional law, tariff law, or economic policy
Businesses affected by import tariffs, supply chain disruptions, or retaliatory trade measures
Followers of macroeconomics, international relations, public finance, and geopolitics

📉 REAL CONSEQUENCES:
U.S. consumers paying more for imported goods
Allies questioning U.S. trade agreements
Legal precedent set for future presidential emergency declarations
Risk of expanding authoritarian executive powers in trade and national security

Canada and Norway Built a New Arctic Order - Without the U.S.

House of El 2025-08-30 | While Washington debates LNG terminals and tariff policy, Canada and Norway are quietly building something more enduring: a new Arctic order. 🇨🇦🇳🇴

This video breaks down the strategic realignment unfolding in the far North - and why the United States is no longer at the center of it.

We’ll explore:
How 🇨🇦 Canada evolved from junior partner to Arctic co-architect
Why 🇳🇴 Norway’s energy model is Europe’s most trusted
The rise of Arctic shipping routes (Northwest Passage + Northern Sea Route)
The creation of an LNG and data corridor that bypasses the U.S.
How Arctic security now means sensors, standards, and system design
Why horizontal power is replacing traditional top-down influence

🧊 From energy infrastructure to undersea cables, the Canada–Norway axis is reshaping global power in the most overlooked region of the 21st century.

The U.S. Trade Deficit Is Built to Stay

House of El 2025-08-28 | Full video: youtu.be/dr8I-SJQ078

What if the U.S. trade deficit isn’t a failure, but a requirement of global economics? This short dives into the Triffin dilemma, reserve currency dynamics, and why tariffs can’t solve structural imbalances. Watch the full video for a compelling breakdown of how America’s global financial dominance shapes everything from trade policy to consumer behavior. Keywords: U.S. dollar reserve currency, trade deficit explained, Triffin dilemma, global economics, 2025 tariffs.

Why U.S. Tariffs Are Backfiring And Making the Trade Deficit WORSE

House of El 2025-08-26 | America’s trade deficit is widening — again. But this time, it's not because of globalization or cheap imports. It’s the very tariffs meant to fix it that are fueling the imbalance.

In this deep-dive explainer, we break down:
What a trade deficit actually means (spoiler: it’s not a scoreboard)
Why tariffs often fail to reduce imports - and instead hurt U.S. exports
How countries like Canada and the EU are fighting back
Why concepts like inelastic demand, trade war retaliation, and structural decline matter more than political soundbites
How the Triffin dilemma and the global dominance of the U.S. dollar make it nearly impossible to “fix” the trade deficit without consequences

This is a story about economics, geopolitics, and consumer behavior — explained simply. You'll learn how global supply chains shift, why companies rarely return to old partners, and what economists mean when they say “trade flow stickiness.”

📊 We also look at real 2025 data: Tesla’s European sales collapse, U.S. export losses, Canadian supply chain shifts, and over $12B in lost tourism revenue.

How Canada Outsmarted a U.S. Trade War

House of El 2025-08-25 | Canada flipped the script on U.S. tariffs—quietly rerouting its entire trade strategy toward Europe and Asia while Americans foot the bill. Discover how a 35% tariff led to a $2,400 price hike for U.S. households and why Canada’s trade pivot could be permanent. Watch the full video for a deeper dive into the economic backfire of America’s tariff strategy and the strategic realignment shaping global trade.

Canada’s Trade Revolution: How Tariffs Backfired on the USA

House of El 2025-08-23 | In this video, we explore how U.S. tariffs—originally intended to protect domestic industries—ended up accelerating Canada’s global trade realignment.

Key topics covered:
The $34 billion export shift that reshaped Canada’s trade relationships
How U.S. tariff policies triggered long-term structural changes
Why Canada now has strategic access to 1.2 billion consumers across Europe and Asia

Why Canada Might Ditch the F-35 for Sweden’s Gripen

House of El 2025-08-20 | Canada’s reassessment of the F-35 jet signals more than defense budgeting—it’s a pivot toward strategic autonomy and potential collaboration with Sweden’s Saab Gripen. This Short dives into why this move could redefine Arctic defense and challenge U.S. dominance. Watch the full video to see how geopolitics, infrastructure, and national sovereignty are colliding in the far North.

Canada and Sweden Redrew the Arctic - And the U.S. Missed It

House of El 2025-08-19 | The Canada–Sweden Arctic alliance is quietly reshaping global power—and the U.S. and Russia may be too late to stop it.

In this video, we unpack how Canada and Sweden are building a new kind of geopolitical partnership—one based on digital sovereignty, subsea fiber optic cables, defense autonomy, and climate-aligned infrastructure. From the Saab Gripen vs F-35 debate to Arctic seabed mapping, 5G networks, and the CETA trade agreement, this is a masterclass in quiet diplomacy and strategic innovation.

🔹 Topics Covered:
Arctic geopolitics and digital infrastructure
Canada–Sweden military cooperation and defense strategy
The Gripen fighter jet vs. F-35 procurement shift
Fiber optic cable projects through the Northwest Passage
Ericsson’s role in Canadian 5G infrastructure

The Canada–Denmark Alliance That TRUMPED the U.S.

House of El 2025-08-16 | While the U.S. raises tariffs and stumbles through political turmoil, an unexpected alliance is taking shape. Canada and Denmark are quietly building a transatlantic green trade corridor—linking offshore wind, hydrogen, and low-carbon aluminum. This isn’t just clean energy; it’s economic resilience and a rewrite of global trade without U.S. leadership.

The clean energy race is no longer about oil or bases but about renewables, carbon policy, and decarbonization. Denmark’s offshore wind expertise is meeting Atlantic Canada’s geography and hydrogen potential, while Canada’s hydro-powered aluminum gains new value under the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. Together, they’re carving out a post-American supply chain that’s green, strategic, and deliberately quiet.

In this video, we break down the new Canada-Denmark green energy alliance and its implications for global power:
🌬️ How Denmark’s offshore wind engineering is transforming Atlantic Canada
🔋 The rise of energy islands and green hydrogen exports
🧊 Why Canada’s hydro-powered aluminum is becoming Europe’s new industrial gold
📉 How U.S. volatility is pushing allies toward quiet diversification
🌍 And why this alliance could signal the birth of a post-American supply chain

Canada’s $18B Aluminum Escape from the USA

House of El 2025-08-13 | Canada is quietly rewiring its aluminum trade, redirecting billions from the U.S. toward Europe. Thanks to the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, Canada’s clean, hydro-powered smelters can dodge carbon tariffs and sell at a premium — something U.S. buyers can’t match. But this shift is about more than profit: it’s a geopolitical hedge against Washington’s unpredictable tariff wars. Watch the full video to see how climate policy is becoming the new trade weapon, and why America should be worried.

Canada OUTPLAYED the US - And Europe is LOVING It!

House of El 2025-08-12 | Canada Just Flipped the Script on U.S. Trade. And It’s All About Aluminum. 🇨🇦➡️🇪🇺

In 2025, Canada quietly began rerouting its $18B aluminum exports - not toward the United States, but toward Europe. Why? Carbon policy. While U.S.–Canada trade tensions heat up with new tariffs, the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is creating fresh incentives for low-emission materials. Canada’s hydro-powered aluminum smelters are suddenly tariff-proof, and Europe is buying in.

In this video, we unpack:
How Canada became America’s aluminum lifeline - and why that’s changing
Why Germany is emerging as Canada’s next big buyer
The climate economics behind CBAM and Canada’s low-carbon advantage
How Trump’s 2025 tariff escalations may have backfired
Why the aluminum pivot signals a deeper recalibration in U.S.–Canada trade relations

This isn’t just about metal, but it’s about geopolitics, climate policy, and the future of strategic trade.

🔍 If you're in Canada, the U.S., or Europe, and you care about trade resilience, decarbonization, or economic power shifts, this one's for you.

The Quiet Decline of U.S. Dominance — And the New Superpower Rising

House of El 2025-08-09 | Who will rule the world in 2040, and what if it’s not even a country?

For decades, we’ve assumed that GDP, military size, and national borders define global power. But the 21st century is rewriting the rules. In this video, we explore the rise of non-traditional superpowers, the collapse of old metrics like economic size and hard power, and why the future of dominance might lie in AI sovereignty, demographic leverage, climate resilience, and digital infrastructure - not territory.

🔍 Topics we cover:
Why GDP and military strength no longer define superpower status
How small nations like Estonia, Singapore, and the UAE are outmaneuvering giants
The geopolitics of AI language models and digital colonialism
What climate change means for power, migration, and trade routes
Why megacities like Lagos and São Paulo may matter more than nation-states
The silent force of trust-based governance and digital systems
America's uncertain future: decline, reinvention, or division?
The real meaning of power in a decentralized, algorithmic world

📌 If you care about global power shifts, the future of America, and what influence looks like in an AI-driven, post-carbon era - this is for you.

5 Reasons Scandinavians Don’t Burn Out (But Americans Always Do)

House of El 2025-08-05 | Why do Americans work more… and get less?

In the U.S., burnout is treated like a personal flaw - something you’re supposed to fix with better habits, mindfulness apps, or morning routines. But what if the real problem isn’t you? What if it’s the system?

In this video, we break down five structural reasons why Scandinavians avoid burnout - and Americans don’t. From vacation policies and labor laws to cultural attitudes around hustle and rest, we explore why the United States normalizes overwork, and how other countries build systems that actually protect people.

🔍 Topics covered:
Why Americans leave vacation days unused
U.S. vs Denmark work hours (and why Scandinavians are still more productive)
The toxic rise of hustle culture in the U.S.
How universal healthcare and real safety nets reduce stress
Why burnout prevention is mandatory in places like Sweden — and optional in America
The psychology of American work culture: guilt, shame, and the glorification of exhaustion

House of El 2025-08-02 | 🇸🇬 Singapore vs 🇩🇰 Denmark: Two Tiny Countries, Two Giant Experiments in Society

Singapore fines you for chewing gum. Denmark lets babies nap outside cafés.
Both are rich, safe, and under 6 million people. But their paths to success couldn’t be more different.

In this deep-dive video, we compare Denmark and Singapore across 10 key dimensions: governance, education, welfare, urban planning, privacy, economy, immigration, and more. One is built on trust and social cohesion, the other on efficiency and control. Yet both rank among the world’s most successful nations.

What’s more sustainable: the Scandinavian model or the technocratic city-state?
Can you engineer happiness—or must it emerge from culture and trust?

👉 You’ll learn:
Why Denmark consistently ranks as one of the happiest countries on earth
How Singapore became a global powerhouse through structure and surveillance
What happens when countries prioritize freedom vs performance
The trade-offs between welfare vs. self-reliance, high-tax stability vs. low-tax agility
Whether you’re into public policy, sociology, or just curious how very different systems can both “work”—this is for you.

Denmark vs USA: Who protects the Middle Class?

House of El 2025-07-26 | Why Is the American Middle Class Shrinking While Denmark’s Is Thriving? 🇺🇸🇩🇰

The U.S. middle class is collapsing. From stagnant wages and crushing debt to skyrocketing healthcare costs and housing insecurity, American families are under more pressure than ever - while Denmark, a small Nordic country with capitalist roots just like the USA, has quietly built a system where the average citizen is thriving.

🧠 In this video, we break down:
🔹Why the U.S. middle class is disappearing (Pew Research, income inequality, CEO pay, etc.)
🔹How medical debt, student loans, and unaffordable childcare are hollowing out American households
🔹What Denmark gets right: universal healthcare, free college, strong unions, and low-cost childcare
🔹The cultural forces (like trust in government) that make it all possible there (and hard to replicate in the U.S.)
🔹A realistic look at whether the USA could adopt similar policies or if America’s political and cultural software prevents it

📊 Featuring U.S. and Denmark comparisons on:

Tax policy, Union membership, Cost of living, Housing affordability, Debt structures, Healthcare access, Cultural attitudes toward government, trust, and equality

📊 Backed by data from Pew Research, OECD, GAO, and more, this is a deep dive into why the U.S. system resists reform, and what it would take for America to achieve outcomes similar to Denmark.

If you’re interested in American public policy, U.S. political dysfunction, healthcare reform, tax compliance, or the future of welfare in the United States, this video is for you.

Denmark’s Welfare Model Would DESTROY the USA

House of El 2025-07-22 | Why is U.S. healthcare so expensive, and still so broken?
From universal healthcare to paid parental leave, Americans often point to Nordic countries as models of success. But beneath the surface lies a deeper question: Is the American system even compatible with the Danish model?

In this video, we break down why Denmark’s welfare system doesn’t translate cleanly to the U.S. We cover the structural mismatch between U.S. political culture, American healthcare spending, and state capacity - and explain how low trust in American institutions, poor tax compliance, and partisan gridlock make Nordic-style policies nearly impossible to implement in the United States.

We cover:
🔹U.S. vs Denmark healthcare systems
🔹Why the IRS can’t function like Denmark’s tax authority
🔹How American political polarization kills policy reform
🔹The failure of trust in U.S. government
🔹Welfare stigma and broken bureaucracy
🔹Why the American dream no longer delivers

This is a must-watch if you’re interested in U.S. public policy, government dysfunction, taxation, or how universal healthcare could (or couldn’t) work in America.

📊 Backed by data from Pew Research, OECD, GAO, and more, this is a deep dive into why the U.S. system resists reform, and what it would take for America to achieve outcomes similar to Denmark.

If you’re interested in American public policy, U.S. political dysfunction, healthcare reform, tax compliance, or the future of welfare in the United States, this video is for you.

You Can’t Name Your Baby Whatever You Want in Denmark 🇩🇰

House of El 2025-07-20 | In Denmark, naming your child isn’t just a personal choice - it’s a government-regulated decision. There’s an official list of approved names, and if yours isn’t on it, you need special permission. Why? To protect kids from names like Pluto, Monkey… or even Anus (yes, really). Here's how Denmark handles names differently than most countries.

10 Things Totally Normal in Denmark (But ILLEGAL Elsewhere)

House of El 2025-07-19 | 🇩🇰 “Wait… THIS is legal in Denmark?!”
Some countries write new laws when something feels off. Denmark just shrugs.

In this video, we explore 10 things that are 100% legal in Denmark and totally unthinkable almost anywhere else. These aren’t fringe loopholes or rare exceptions; they’re part of everyday life. And they reveal something profound (and a little bizarre) about how Danish society works.

If you’re curious about Scandinavian culture, trust-based systems, radical transparency, Nordic laws, or just what makes Denmark so different from the U.S. or UK, this is the deep dive for you.

Corrections & Curiosities 📝
– I mentioned that you can see everyone’s tax records in Denmark - that used to be true, but access has been restricted for a while. You can’t just look up anyone’s data anymore. Thanks to those who flagged this!
– Also, I didn't know Pusher Street was officially shut down in 2024 - if you’ve been recently, can people still get weed there, or is it all very “we swear it’s closed now 👀”? Genuinely curious.

👇 What you’ll learn:
🔹Why some legal norms in Denmark would start riots elsewhere
🔹How a society can function on extreme levels of trust and autonomy
🔹What happens when a country prioritizes logic over fear
🔹And why Danish culture might challenge everything you think you know about safety, freedom, and common sense

I lived in Denmark for five years while doing my PhD, and this country still surprises me. This isn’t your average Denmark travel video or Copenhagen tourist vlog - this is about how society is built differently, and what we can learn from it.

The USA Is Struggling. Does the Nordic Model Prove It Doesn’t Have To?

House of El 2025-07-15 | Can the USA Copy Denmark’s Success? Or Will It Collapse Trying? 🇺🇸🇩🇰

America spends more on healthcare than any other country, yet tens of millions remain uninsured. Meanwhile, countries like Denmark spend far less and cover everyone. How?

This isn’t just another “Scandinavia is better” video. It’s a serious investigation: Can the Nordic model work in the United States?

In this video, we compare Denmark vs USA across 5 core dimensions:
🔹 Trust & Taxation
🔹 Labor Markets & Welfare
🔹 State Capacity
🔹 Cultural Values
🔹 Competing Definitions of Freedom

We'll examine why Nordic countries like Denmark, Sweden, and Norway are topping global happiness rankings, while the U.S. faces declining trust, skyrocketing inequality, and policy gridlock. Can American freedom coexist with universal healthcare? Can US institutions handle “big government” solutions when public trust is near historic lows?

We break it down using hard data, history, and cultural analysis:
✅ U.S. healthcare spending hit 17.6% of GDP in 2023
✅ Denmark files taxes in one click, America loses $600B/year to tax evasion
✅ Sweden offers 480 days of paid parental leave, the U.S. offers none
✅ U.S. college grads owe ~$38,000 in federal debt, Danes pay $0

This is a must-watch if you're curious about:
How Denmark saved its middle class
Why US healthcare is broken
What “freedom” really means across cultures
And whether America’s decline is a choice, not a destiny

If you care about the future of the US. or if you’re just fascinated by systems that actually work - enjoy!
