.. A country which we helped be miserable by committing war crimes in the last forever war we went into before handing it all back to the terrible terrible religious fundamentalists that run it again.

Ah yes, Australian misery. That’s my key takeaway from that graph

I don’t trust any graph that places America above Australia. Just because I don’t think glee from the insane crimes trump is doing doesn’t mean I’m more miserable.

A lifetime of work to buy a house 1/5th if the size we grew up in.
Ok
Can’t drink
Can’t smoke
Can’t afford it
Can’t go out
Can’t enjoy the moment
Just be pure and employed or you will suffer

The start of the decline can be traced back to Sunnyboys being discontinued in 2016.

Australia: Rates #15 out of 147 countries for happiness
It’s unlikely I’ll be able to buy a house here, and will need to move elsewhere. My parents won’t be present in my kids lives the way my grandparents were.
Why wouldn’t that make me sad?

People are totally misreading this chart… its a *change* in happiness. U.S isnt “above” Australia

arh yes, let’s make housing so expensive people need to have high paying jobs, work endlessly for next 30 years, homelessness, expensive rent, expensive insurance, real wages being eroded, fuel problems, can’t get off watching porn, can’t criticize rivers or seas, health becoming more inaccessible…… What’s worth living for 🖕

The comments here show the sad level of graph literacy…… it doesnt even have a unit for the y axis…. I am going to assume its percentage of change. A 1 % dropnis negligable over that time period. In any case, this comparison is near useless data without understanding the baseline.

It’s no surprise.
Renters are forced to live in appalling conditions with no security.
Home owners are forced to take out mortgages that are 10x their annual income.
It is the story of the frog in boiling water. The frog is suddenly realising that making property an investment has ill effects in all other areas.
It’s a pity the media fails to recognise that the increased cost of groceries, fuel, insurance and everything pales in comparison to the extra years needed to pay back a mortgage.
As a country, we’ve voted to steal from all future generations to keep the property investors and owners happy.

$1m for a city apartment makes people sad. Who knew.

The report this is from also ranks Australia no.11 in the world. The headline is loaded and the graph is easy to misinterpret.
11th happiest country in the world. Not what this graph portrays, maybe somewhat deliberately.

To anyone wondering how USA or China could score higher than Australia, they don’t. This chart shows *change* in happiness, not actual values.
Finland came 1st out of 147 countries, Australia 15th, USA 23rd, China 65th and Afghanistan 147th.
I mean I’m still living with my parents when my parents had already paid off their first house by my age

Cost of housing, cost of living, cost of our politicians not giving a fuck about us punters……

With over a decade of the former Liberal Government , this really isn’t surprising at all, we are still feeling the consequences of that truly awful era

This graph is shit. I have no idea what data is being portrayed or what the y axis measures.

When cheese is $10 a block and fuel is $2.9 a litre and your rent is going up again. Can’t afford a pint at the pub after work. Dental bills are in the hundreds. Clothes are shit quality for the cost and need replacing. Can’t afford a lot of hobbies or sports anymore.
Drive home and see people carting along a caravan worth a house deposit.
HECS fees hanging around for decades.
Dating scene is shit so you either live in a share house like you did when you were 22 or bend over.

Beating Afghanistan! Woo! (I guess)

Is this a meme
I’ve grown up in Sydney with a close knit family.
It’s unlikely I’ll be able to buy a house here, and will need to move elsewhere. My parents won’t be present in my kids lives the way my grandparents were.
Why wouldn’t that make me sad?

Miserable is a state of mind.
