    On my phone so I can’t do tons of research, but if you want the long short then just go here and check how many countries ranked higher than America that have lower GDP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Happiness_Report#2023_report

    Of course you can nitpick certain stats to no end, so I’ll primarily focus on the disparity of

    -Annual vacation days

    -Public healthcare

    -Public transportation, and

    -Public education

    that the average American has compared to other developed nations

      Happiness and QOL are not directly related, and happiness is much more of a cultural thing than a cost of living thing.

      I’m all for the bullets you list but that doesn’t make these concepts shared ideas.
