Why are the Nordic countries so happy?

The Nordic countries all got the highest scores. This article claims that trust in the government's handling of covid is an important factor, but I don't believe that.

You're talking about 5 different countries--Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands. They all have different governments so I think attributing their happiness to the government might not be the right answer.

But I don't know what is.

Is there something cultural about those areas? Like maybe they shame complainers, so most people always claim to be super happy?

I don't know where all these happy Canadians are hiding. Everyone I interact with is seemingly miserable with our joke of a Gov't and all that comes with it

Most of their women and men take care of themselves, gluttony is minimal, they tend to have morals, self respect and continue the traditions that made them among the best countries in the world.

You don't hear Nordic women going YASSS SLAYYY QUEEN because some 350lb girl wore a bikini to a beach.

A mixture of genetics, and a good standard of living for most?

Many social services available

Free healthcare, free education, affordable housing

But most importantly...
Hot women

Most happy Asia: TAIWAN. I wonder how long that lasts.

in recent times they have kept to themselves. they have small populations, and because of that it's easier to come to consensus on issues. similar cultures for the majority of the population is a huge factor as well.

That's hilarious but I bet it really is a contributing factor.

None of that is free.

 

[burningspear]

Because they're the closest to getting it right.

None of that is free.

Yeah, when taxes are put to good use it basically is. You'll feel rich at $100k instead of $10 million.

Whenever I read about Denmark recently, it is usually related to the citizens telling the government to fuck off with their covid laws. I don't think that counts as trust.

Quebec City, Quebec

Well no wonder you're happy, best strip clubs in the world and the reason everyone else hates the Gov't is because all they do is bend over for Quebec hahahaha
