10th in the avg. life satisfaction, that is pretty solid I'd say. Considering that Costa Rica and Ireland are ranked ahead of us.

Average happiness yesterday we are 6th!! Once again somehow below Ireland...
I am beginning to doubt the validity of this study, the Irish are a notoriously unhappy people.

The overall picture in America now has become one of an extremely stratified and class-oriented society, with only a few people owning most of the money, wages stagnant for decades, and half our country in fear and relative poverty. We have the highest rates of murder, no national health care, education has become unaffordable. We are angry, jealous, selfish, vindictive ....

This country deserves better. What makes citizens happy? We are one of the richest countries in the world - why don't we give ourselves the best lives possible?

Can you imagine what a great life it would be, to not have to worry that becoming ill or having an accident will take all your hard-earned savings, or your house, everything you've worked hard for, and put you into poverty, starvation, loss? Not to have to worry that if you develop a scary lump, you don't get medical care because you don't have enough money to see a doctor?

Freedom from worry about health is just one element that makes a countries citizens happy and productive, living good, long lives. There are other factors.

We, in America, can do far, far better along that front than we do now. We could have everyone covered for health care. We could have a easily livable minimum wage where your work supports eating and housing. We could have readily available education, tech school for anyone who wanted it, as far as they wanted to work and grow. We could have thriving, innovative, upwardly-mobile jobs. We could have families readily supported on 40-hour work weeks. Time for spending time with family, vacations, retirement. People could afford decent housing on one salary.

Life is for enjoyment. For living.

We have had that before in America, for brief periods of time. Now, AGAIN, we simply have to choose it. Other countries are doing it. We can, too.
