The people on the picture look like they were forced to smile under a death threat
Dammit, Finland number 1…again.
What comes to your mind when you think of Finland?
Finland is always number 1 in statistical charts, (happiness, least corruption…you name it) beating the Netherlands again and again.
It is kind a running joke here in the Netherlands
Finns I work with are really good at hiding this. Must be their secret formula.
Let me try 😐😐😐
So you’re not in Finland bit have Finnish colleagues? Maybe that’s the secret? Just get every unhappy Fin to move abroad?
I work at a multinational that has presence in Finland but there’s a sea between us. Maybe I’m not getting the entire picture and they have very happy after work lives. But then there’s legendary amounts of depression and alcohol abuse. Are they so happy while sleeping that it makes up for everything else? I don’t know :D
“Both the UK and the US slipped down the list to 23rd and 24th respectively - the lowest-ever position for the latter.”
One thing is I initially thought they misspelled ladder before I got the meaning. The other though is this has to be mostly 2024 numbers if we are still that high. Lastly israel is number 8 and mexico number 10. wow.
Happiness is notoriously contingent on culture and historical context.
IIRC the famous example in recent history is that Iraq has been ranking higher than France.
Voi pojat, taasko?
Well done Finland!
