> Everybody should be as unhappy as me
I'm not from the US and I think that attitude is fucked up. You'll get your wish -- the US has been steadily dropping on the lists of "World's Happiest Countries"[1]. But luckily I don't need to do anything. Nature will teach you what a simple text box cannot. Eventually you guys will ruin all your important institutions & become deeply unhappy & hit rock bottom & start meditating or something.
[1] https://data.worldhappiness.report/chart -- Fit a line and you can extrapolate by ~2030 China will be a better place to live. That's really not that far away. That attitude is not "universal".
Gee golly, I guess you sailed right past
>Whether that's truly just is an entirely different question
I save myself a lot of heartache and consternation by 'accepting the things I cannot change' to crib the serenity prayer
As a general rule, it's unethical people who like to ignore ethical issues for their own benefit.
And there's plenty I can do. Studying the issue & preparing a move, to name two. You want to roll over cause that's your lack of ethics.
It won't work out for you. Set a reminder for 2030.
