when Yemen is the top of the pack, one starts to wonder... maybe what we're presenting isn't a great measurement of human happiness?

It's paid time off dude, these aren't happiness stats

cool... wonder why people are acting like they want to go to Yemen or Libya because of this map then. maybe because we're inferring degrees of life satisfaction from a statistic that doesn't really signify that. I'm just restating my original point now though.

anyway, I'm glad you agree with me that federally mandated PTO levels isnt a great measurement of happiness. please let the other commenters know if you see them misinterpreting the data

You were just the first comment in the thread when I opened the post so 🤷

But also the US with zero paid days is like literally imploding. So maybe it has a little to do with happiness
