…Now, I know enough about Denmark’s & Scandinavia’s Democratic Socialist & Etc. mind spaces, but I am not living there. So do not know if The BS hypocrisy is involved, like in The USA.

Does what follows also happen in Denmark’s & Scandinavia?

The most recent example, of the privileges in my life, that are damaging, I hate & never asked for-
Pretext:
As some know I live in South Florida. (& Fl. is one of the worst states in The USA) & in Ag. & Unincorporated & very wealthy (in my 40-years living in same property, had wealthy neighbors busted for drugs production, drug distribution & Etc.) area, so have only one-representative (who when I ask for help to do good things, through local government, she tells me to do it myself) & forced by economics, live without cost, with elderly & Capitalist roommates that own the home-property & use that to their advantages all the time.

We were getting started doing the twice (or if they get lazy once) a year cutting vegetation & putting it outside our property for our county to take away. Many years ago they stupidly (I totally disagree with, does not work with amount of our area’s properties’ vegetation that needs to be removed) change to the rules that state ALL county residents have to only produce two-piles of 25 or one-pile of 50 cubic yards annually. Every single year we have violated that change, without any consequences at all (charged fines over- each pile of over 50 cubic yards & 3rd pile or over 50 cubic yards piles not dumped by residences, & 1st pickup at/under 50 cubic yards, then no more pickups). So I & the female roommate (at first, then stopped) told the male roommate that has to be only 25 cubic yards, but he would never bother listening to first us & then just me. Before the 1st & 100 cubic yards pile was collected, by our county, I measured & the best I could fixed it to 100 cubic yards. I called our county information line & the representative said yes, it is all county residences & no exception & did not know why, contact the department responsible for the collecting. So I contacted the department that collects the piles & our representative, asking is there an exception for our area (would make sense) & if there is no exception, then why does my area have tons of violations, but the piles still get collected every year. Yet to get any response back.

Our 1st & 100 cubic yards piles was collected, without any consequences, even the male roommate told us, the person collecting the pile said it was smaller than usual. Forget that I know it was in violation. The problem I have is we are receiving a Privilege that poorer communities & thus, residents do not receive.

Here in one of the worst states in The USA-
Not only is our Governor waiting for openings in local governments to illegally placed his unelected favorites (once they have to be elected rarely retain their positions) into political positions, but
They are creating rules/laws/changes without logically writing them, sometimes exception where as logically needed, but instead just not enforcing the new rules/laws/changes on The Upper Middle (at best that is what my household is, but not what my area is, a lot of isolating BLANKS- see immediately right)-Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners! I hate being automatically just given these unwanted privileges, as others suffer from not getting the same things, most times needing them more than us!

    I am not sure what the exact question of the post is, but the short answer is NO. no privaleges for the rich regarding law and order here. If you are rich in denmark (upper class) you get treated just like the local homeless down at the parking lot. Only very rich criminals, bankers, lawyers, etc, can afford the accountant, who can help you cheat with taxes and some regulations. But this is by far uncommon. We have a very safe and structured suciety, build on trust. Trust to the authorities, trust the neighbors.
