The CIA is now an arm of the Democrat leftist activist party, just like the media and the teachers.
Successful people are happier but don’t brag. Their success is there for everyone to see(housing/eating out). Some would call it a form of flashing that makes others jealous. Perhaps the socialists out there are happier because everything is taken care of and there’’s more time to relax and do nothing. So how does the human condition improve collectively? No need to because there’s nothing to resent as everyone goes without. Life is certainly easier as well as boring.
