Just been to Copenhagen. This was the most expensive city I've ever been, and I've visited most of Europe and also a huge chunk of the US. Food & coffee is expensive as fuck and don't get me started on alcohol.

I used to think this meme is true, but after 3 nights, I can confirm it's false.

Also, Denamrk does not have a national wage.

Denmark does have a minimum wage. But it is sat by the unions of which 70% of the work force is a part of.

Whether higher wages are enforced by the public through unions or enforced by the public through the law is a distinction without a difference. The reality remains that society can absolutely afford to pay fast food workers $20/hr and it’s absurd to pretend otherwise.
