American Democracy Down for the Count

Some years ago, I faced up to the futility of reporting true things about America’s disastrous wars and so I left Afghanistan for another remote mountainous country far away. It was the polar opposite of Afghanistan: a

Obviously you know far more than someone who has lived in afghanistan, norway and the usa.

here is the data you seek

"..Canada has slipped to 18th place in the global World Happiness Report, down three spots from last year and placing it among the "largest losers" in happiness rankings over the last two decades, according to the annual report released Thursday.

At its peak, in the 2015 report, Canada had placed fifth. Now, in 18th, Canada has dropped to its lowest-ever position since the polling began in 2005. The United States has also dropped to its lowest-ever position at 24th, having previously peaked at 11th place in 2012. The U.K. fell to 23rd.

Finland once again came out on top, named the happiest country in the world for the eighth year in a row in the annual report published by the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford.

"In general, the Western industrial countries are now less happy than they were between 2005 and 2010," notes the report. "In 2013, the top ten countries were all western industrial countries but now only seven are."

anyway lazybones

i am not a liberal

i am a marxist

though i do not think you really know the difference

why is iceland so high ?

maybe one of the reasons is because of all the nations in the world, they are the closest to the first demand in the communist manifesto

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State;the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of thesoil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c, &c.

Scandinavian countries are not more communist than the USA. They actually have more freedom than we do.

Only a brain dead idiot wants a country to adopt the communist manifesto.

Sweden only has one income tax rate. 20% on income above $60,000(614,000 SEK).

Corporate tax rate is one of the lowest at 20.6%.

Ignoring the now commonplace ad hominem logical fallacy, would the "brain dead" population of communist cuba prefer to live in
the "free enterprise" american colony of haiti.

Your evidence that the best part of you ran down somethings leg , of course its related to why are they happ you lug nut.

y Scandinavian happiness is often attributed to several key factors:
Cultural Values: Concepts like Hygge (coziness), Friluftsliv (outdoor living), and Lagom (balance) play a significant role in promoting well-being.
