Must be all the fascism
Corporations paying poverty wages while reporting record profits probably doesn’t help either.
probablydefinitelyprobably definitelyunapologetically, immorally and deliberately
Actually, wages are higher during Biden’s term than they have ever been in the history of America
Actually yes… fascism is a natural consequence of late-stage capitalism as it’s one way to keep the exploited masses under control by focussing their anger away from the wealthy leaders.
What historical precedents would you cite as examples of your statement, “fascism is a natural consequence of late-stage capitalism”?
If you based it on the richest 10% of each country … the US would probably end up in the top 3
However, if you based it on the bottom 90% … the US probably wouldn’t make it to the top 100
Oh that would be an interesting way to do the report.
“happiness index of mid quartile”
Median income happiness index
Housing crisis, 40-year out of date poverty level, a minimum wage that hasn’t been increased in 15 years and that has had a continuously decreasing purchasing power for almost 60 years. Most expensive healthcare, rampant student loan debt, record-breaking corporate profits, a self-immolating middle class, etc. etc.
Honestly, it’s hard to find much to be happy about here right now.
The US is far richer than a lot of the higher ranked countries. Furthermore, it’s the best performing country out of the pandemic. Can’t be the reason for the drop
A tiny percentage of Americans hold the majority of that wealth. The average American is not wealthy.
Don’t forget credit card debt!
What is there to be happy about?
That the US is still on the list at all
Headline news -> US is on the 2024 World Happiness Report
“The World Happiness Report and the Gallup/Meta social connectedness data show peak loneliness for younger Americans. It’s widely recognized that social support and feelings of loneliness are influential factors in determining overall happiness, and these dynamics differ across various age groups,” she said. “The quality of interpersonal relationships may impact the wellbeing of younger and older individuals in distinct ways.”
I’m just gonna… leave this here…
You’re absolutely correct.
That, combined with the collective PTSD we all have from COVID and the knowledge that the next pandemic could happen anytime is anxiety inducing.
I think it might have something to do with some young people not feeling connected to their communities. In my case, I grew up in a conservative Christian community but as I got older, I didn’t want to be conservative or Christian. I left the only community I had and I haven’t yet found another community to replace it. I don’t think this is an entirely new phenomenon, but whereas in the past young people would move from conservative rural areas to more liberal urban areas, many urban areas today are prohibitively expensive, so that’s not an option, at least not for as many young people. Many people are therefore without a community, left to feel lonely and alienated.
We have an election front runner who called this country a shithole and half of the people say they love him because he tells it like it is. So there you have it.
I corelate that with having to pay for multiple streaming service.
Wouldn’t this be the first time the 2024 world happiness report was published?
