Hawaii and California ranks among the happiest states, Texas and Florida among the unhappiest.

Very interesting. And Scandinavia the happiest countries with lots of social services. Free colleges and healthcare. People loving people. Not blocking helpful programs.

Hmm... according to the source linked below, CA ranks 13tn, with FL only marginally behind at 14th. And that was before the CA wildfires.

And Utah, Idaho and South Carolina all do better than CA and FL.

TX, ranking 38th, is not doing great, but still is slightly better than Oregon, which ranks 39th.

@Thinkerbell Texas is one of the most unhappy places in the USA.

@Carazaa

And your source is...? 🤔

My source puts Texas at the top of the bottom quarter among the states.
Not great, but not "one of the most unhappy places in the USA."

@BLP11520 Its a fact from many sources. California is the 7th happiest state, Hawaii number 1 and Texas one of the most unhappy!

@Carazaa

What happened to Florida? You said in your post title that it was among the unhappiest.

And could you please give one of your many sources...? 🤔

Carazaa · F

@Thinkerbell My question too. What happened to Florida and Texas, why are they unhappy states? Maybe it is because of not trusting government to fix anything like school shootings, gun control, racism, political motivated churches and forgetting about loving people, and Jesus?

@Carazaa

Your premise is mistaken.

According to my linked source, Florida is ranked 14th, only one notch below California's 13th place.

And you have yet to post a source that says otherwise.

@Thinkerbell Thank you. I couldn't accept CA as the happiest. Especially with Newscum in charge.

@Gibbon

And CA was ranked 13th before the current wildfires; it's surely lower than 13th now.

@Thinkerbell Most definitely.

Carazaa · F

@Thinkerbell Possibly, but there are fires everywhere, in every state in every country. California has fires yearly.

Gibbon · 70-79, M

@Carazaa umm not true. Just looked at the US wildfires map and your every state accusation is no where near true. Far far from it.

Carazaa · F

@Gibbon what state has had no fires ever?

Gibbon · 70-79, M

@Carazaa the map is currently active. But if you've ever checked it out during the year you'll find most west of the Mississippi. The east coast ones including my state are handled quickly. The west coast is notorious for fires that burn for weeks. Most of that is caused by failed forest management. Stopping logging in Oregon allowed all the fire breaks to fill in.

@Carazaa

"Possibly, but there are fires everywhere, in every state in every country. California has fires yearly."

Every state has fires, but not every state has them to the extent of California's fires, which currently have been especially severe, even for California.

And you have STILL not posted a source for your claim that Florida is one of the unhappiest states.
