Link Check this list out. Louisiana is at #1 Maine at #10 (Tamar must be happy!) At the lower end is California at #46 Mass at #44 NY hits rock bottom at #51. Wait #51? (DC is counted that's why at # 37)
TN #4! I firmly believe that joy is chosen. If you look at humanity, we've come a long way, yet there have always been happy people, just as there have always been sour people.
It's still above Michigan. Michigan, where temperatures average about minus 20 and unemployment rarely goes over 50%. Why is anyone unhappy there?
If we're speaking personally, I seem to be in a continual state of anxiety lately. Probably work-related stress, since we've spent a full year now with proposals generating random overtime, weekend work and missed holidays. We're not 100% sure right now if we're getting our annual 1-week Xmas shutdown at work, or if we'll have to go in to work on the same fucking job we worked on during last year's shutdown.
In the fictional state of Devoas, we're all very happy. Every morning we ask "are we not men?", stick on our energy domes and go to work where we build dreams. It's all a bit like a Pet Shop Boys video, only on a lot more good drugs.
So PA is full of sour tarts. I didn't need this list to tell you that. I don't know many people (myself included) around here who AREN'T on antidepressants and self-medicate with booze.
New Yorkers are usually unhappier. Know why? Do you what the light at the end of their tunnel is? New Jersey.
Sitting in traffic for an hour every day doesn't make for a happy boy. I'm lucky. My commute is 35 miles round-trip daily but the traffic ain't too bad.
We're surrounded by assholes who are surrounded by even bigger assholes who elect yet even bigger assholes who make our elected assholes seem downright competent in comparison. Other than that, it's a winter wonderland right now.
