@SW-User well not entire countries
SW-User
@Driver2 So everyone but not an entire country? What?
Driver2 · M
@SW-User no , what I mean is you cannot really measure happiness if an entire country or rate it
SW-User
@Driver2 Do you know what gross means?
Driver2 · M
@SW-User yes, but the whole concept is stupid .
@Driver2 why?
Driver2 · M
@Ozymandiaz because happiness is an individual feeling
@Driver2 everything is an individual thing from wealth to health. By those standards nothing should be measured or used to inform policy.
