1/3 Debunking UN World Happiness Report and why Finland is NOT the happiest country in the world

The UN report is misleading because it relies on a single metric: Cantril’s Ladder.

This 0-10 scale oversimplifies wellbeing and ignores how country rankings differ when using positive vs. negative affect.

Reliance on one ordinal scale is often mathematically problematic.

The World Happiness Report Is a Sham

A case study in elite misinformation.

I wish it wasn't so expensive to recycle electronics (wires, old microwave, lamp, old broken playstation controlles, mini laptop, etc.) and other big things. Especially when you can't drive, don't have anyone who would have a car and willingness to help, and have no money to pay for recycling.

Selling and donating (good) items is also labor intensive and exhausting.

We have so many donated coats it is ridiculous. O.o
