Lol at these lists.

Can you even start a GoFundMe to cover minor surgery in any of these D-level countries?

Canada sucks man. I live here and Trudeau has a net worth of 100 million. His home is a mansion with a bowling alley and multiple swimming pools. He's totally out of touch with the people and a cuck to India and let's immigrants in like a plague.

The housing crisis is out of control. He let's foreign rich people in for money and they buy all the real estate in the nicest places. Do you want to live in B.C. by the water? Maybe in a van down by the river.

Nobody in their right mind is proud to be Canadian anymore.

Nothing to see here unless you was been Canadan Combat Press looking for more Anti-American narratives.

lol at Switzerland in first place for "Human Freedom Index:"

 

[aerius]

I was looking at the education index and thinking "no Asian countries at the top? This can't be right..." then I looked up how they measure the darn thing. Turns out the education index is just a measure of how long people are in school - it doesn't measure literacy, math, or any kind of knowledge, skills, or ability to use logic & reason. Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if the other measures are similarly broken.

"Human Development Index"...really?

lol, gtfo with this shit.

 

[jeff7b9]

A few problems.

A) politics.

There is always an agenda and it ALWAYS overrides reality. Once you grasp that, lists like this lose their lustre.

B) corruption

C) brainwashing.

Odd how the "happiest" often seem to be the countries completely getting bent over and saying thank you.

How is USA 79 in crime? Oh wait, I think I misunderstood that one. That means 78 countries have less crime, not more. Now it makes sense.

 

[nostradumbass]

The happiest country in the world also has one of the highest suicide rates in Europe?

 

[Anewt]

The irony of new Zealand being second in human freedom after that shit show of a pandemic....
