The U.N.'s Sustainable Development Solutions Network has released its World Happiness Report, and Time shares its findings. The top five happiest nations are Switzerland, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, and Canada. Apparently being cold helps, these are all snowy places.
Less flippantly, they are all places with few-to-no international obligations, doing their own thing in blissful isolation, largely enjoying protection by the U.S. The study covered 158 nations; the U.S. ranked 15th, barely included in the top 10%.
Time says Mexico ranked 14th, one above the U.S. This seems unlikely in view of the endemic poverty, corruption, drug wars and cartel killings there.
Will people will start emigrating illegally to Mexico, instead of from Mexico? Nope, I don't think so, do you?
