This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The true surprise is that we were ever that high up. Did they only survey the richest people? Were previous generations too stupid to understand their situation? Is the rest of the world literally hell?

Israel is also high up, currently ranking number 6. You can guess who weren't interviewed there.

National narcissism is a real trip, for any nation. But, once objective reality hits like a freight train...

Comparatively, yes. Life outside of 1st world nations is brutal.
