re: The U.S. is no longer one of the 20 happiest countries

I can see that. We’ve been sold a bill of goods and fell for it. Work is the most important thing here. As I near retirement, while I still think we are the greatest country in many ways, work/life balance isn’t one of them. Aside from theft by over taxing us, most folks are lucky to get 2 weeks vacay. I get more, but still. At least Europe gets it in this regard. A lot of our clients are in Europe and they are always on holiday. Oh, and their food isn’t poisoning them like our FDA allows here.
