Capitalism vs. Socialism-A Danish Metaphor

This morning I was gazing out the window of the summer house around 9.12am.  Two happy birds were bouncing joyfully about the grass ripping up worms at a leisurely pace...like one would enjoy a fine cigar. 

Something deep in my subconscious sat up and howled.  I checked the time again. 9.13am.  Looked out the window.  Yep, worms in the mouths of birds.  No one seemed particularly sleepy or concerned.
THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM.

huh? god is that you?

the EARLY BIRD gets the WORM!!!!


9.14am.  Birds gobbling worms. Nope. That isn't true in this reality. 

WHY!!

All of a sudden I realized, "I am in Denmark. Land of 52 weeks paid maternity leave.  Land of healthcare for all.  Land of well fed birds at anytime of the day."

Then it became clear.  The difference between capitalism and socialism is that in capitalism you starve if you don't get up before 7am to rut in the dirt in the dark because the government would rather listen to themselves chirp than make sure that all the worms are evenly distributed amongst the locations and times that people may be out and about to hunt them. 

Though it seems alien to look out the window now at 11.38am and still see the happy grazing going on, I believe that is why people travel and enjoy using the word exotic.  The difference is rather charming.
