Mainstream media gaslighting Millennials having less discretionary income to feel happier about it?
Also, sure, poor people in non-urbanized, less technologically advanced situations are happier but at what trade-offs?
- californiadreem 4y agoThere's an old joke - um... two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, "Boy, the food at this place is really terrible." The other one says, "Yeah, I know; and such small portions."
- alyandon 4y agoAlso, sure, poor people in non-urbanized, less technologically advanced situations are happier but at what trade-offs? I grew up in a small oilfield town. I, fortunately, managed to escape but I can tell you with no equivocation that "happy" is not an adjective I'd use to describe the majority of the population of that place.
