The happiest nations in the world are almost nothing like the United States, according to the business website 24/7 Wall Street. Does the average person have financial security, government-backed health care, quality education, a healthy natural environment and a sane work-life balance? Those are the world's happy people, and you'll find them in economically stable social-welfare states such as Canada, Finland, Australia, Switzerland and Denmark. "The happiest people in the developed world get loads of social services without having to work too hard," says 24/7 Wall Street, which is named for the opposite of having a sane work-life balance. "Nations with long-term economic strength can also afford to support employment, education, and make health care widely available. The happiest countries seem to be places where there is a good balance of work and leisure time." The United States, obviously, does not make an appearance on this list of Wealthy, Happy Countries.

According to my teevee, Real Murikans who buy and wear Snuggies® seem happy enough. Probably because they can enjoy their chips and french onion dip without getting cold arms.
Consider the percentage that goes to still protecting all those happy countries, and allows them to avoid spending any of their GDP on defense from the Ruskies.
&quot;With great power comes great responsibility&quot; Those words are as true now as when Spiderman&#039;s uncle said them in that revolutionary first movie. Fortunately, we Americans don&#039;t have actually take <i>any</i> responsibility. The poor, the elderly, the sick. Fuck &#039;em all. Because God has blessed the U.S.A.

Syria, Yeman and Bahrain do a peachy keen job of killing brown folks.
