[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, let’s get this out of the way:

- Yes, I know that all the Scandinavian countries are different from one another. 
- Yes, I know there are probably some political/economic misconceptions, that they all have different types of welfare systems, that they’re not necessarily the Bernie Sanders utopia some people think, that some could argue that some of economic policies are actually more capitalist, or some people there have differing opinions and would prefer American-style capitalism, and that some of their politicians are racist. 
- Yes, I know the taxes are high and things are expensive.

All this out of the way, [b]all of these countries win global happiness rankings and other human development indices, [/b]the natural scenery is gorgeous, the climate is better (I am a winter person and I hate the swampy heat and humidity of DC, so YMMV). Also, the hygge and mys aesthetics/lifestyles are blowing up on social media. I follow YouTubers from Denmark and Norway who say how great and cozy and laid back their lives are. Of course Instagram and YouTube are not reality, so can anyone fill me in on reality? [/quote]

These studies will always put a Scandinavian country on top.  The studies are misleading. [/quote]
