On Monday, NBC’s Today finally discovered the elusive secret to happiness – European-style socialism. While taking a bicycle tour of Copenhagen with National Geographic’s Dan Buettner, correspondent Cynthia McFadden proclaimed: “For 40 years Denmark has ranked as one of the happiest places on Earth....the Danes make life less stressed and more joyful.”
How you might ask? The reporter explained: “Here, no job is less than any other....[garbage man] Alan Christensen works just five hours a day, but earns the same as a school teacher.” Buettner proclaimed: “Ambition is not celebrated. No matter what you do, you’re no better than anybody else.”

“Ambition is not celebrated. No matter what you do, you’re no better than anybody else.”
That sounds like a recipe for dissatisfaction.
Hmmm...sounds like a recipe for resentment to me!

And one day, Igor may become foreman!
Unlike decadent Uzbeks...
“Happiness” means many things to different people.
Apparently the productive & competitive have left Copenhagen.
How sad.
There’s one happy person in North Korea. There doesn’t seem to be any happy people in Venezuela. Not sure how they came to that conclusion.
Socialism works great — for them. The rich make the best socialists.
Uzbeks.....they are the weak link in the Great Chain of Socialism.
“Alan Christensen works just five hours a day, but earns the same as a school teacher.” Buettner proclaimed”
I’d be pissed off if I was the teacher. So these stupid leftards celebrate having no drive to succeed.
The wisdom of the Bible is very plain "He that does not work, does not eat".
Socialism is the doctrine of the lazy & envious.
Capitalism - The Rich become Powerful
Socialism - The Powerful become Rich
Yup. Give them a few more years of diversity and the entire country will be a slum.
Precisely why the West is dying.
Oh, hell yeah-either the Viking spirit has been bred out of those people or vodka and psychotropic drugs are sold really cheap in every corner store...
In Capitalism it’s Dog Eat Dog.
In Socialism, it’s just the opposite.
Including info-reporters?
if NBC feels that I guess they would NOT mind spreading their OWN wealth around..I mean really these journalists make WAY to much money, spread that wealth around Obama says its good for everybody
Didn’t they already declare us to “all be socialist now” back when fake prez-bro was keeping the seat warm for Trump?
or was that another commie outfit?
