“I read an article not that long ago about Norway or one of those Scandinavian countries. The one that’s supposed to be the happiest place on earth. The gist of the article was that people there are content because they don’t see anybody doing better than they are.”

I also read a story about
Norway or one of those
Scandinavian countries
that said they did not have much
in their homes cause they could
not afford to buy stuff. Taxes ya know.

That makes sense.

My family in Italy all have small apartments. That’s all they can afford. A few people might have houses but none of my family are that well off. The only reason my cousin was able to move out of her parents house is that she inherited my grandmother’s house when she passed away.

Their options have pretty much dwindled down to nothing. But they’re so happy to have “free” school and “free” Medical.
