Why has the U.S. fallen to its lowest happiness ranking ever? Well, most Americans harbor at least one, often many, deep concerns about their country’s ongoing capacity to support a strong quality of life.
Some of us are worried about ourselves, e.g., inflation and high-paying jobs, where others are kept awake at night by issues facing huge masses of our population, for example: women, LBGTQs, the poorly educated, those without healthcare, people of color, and young people whose lives will be heavily impacted by climate change and other sorts of eco-catastrophe.
Above all, most Americans are horrified at what Trump and Musk are doing to the U.S. government, and the concept that our democracy may become a relic of the past.
Those of us who love America are profoundly saddened to watch this happen. As someone said recently, “This is like being tied to a chair being forced to watch a toddler play with a loaded gun.”
