While it's a key indicator, even PPP adjusted income metrics are insufficient to compare happiness. e.g even if PPP may adjust for some aspects of outsized US health care costs, the risk and unreliability of access and affordability of US healthcare is not reflected in median income values.

Yeah I totally agree that income and happiness are not interchangeable, I'm just really tired of people lying about objective facts.

Every single court case is two sides bringing forward only "objective facts" by definition. It's not that one side brings lies and the other facts. They both bring objective facts.

So why does it always end with the judgement falling on one side? Because facts do not a complete case make.

I have no quibble with the objective facts, but we are talking about happiness, and answers are being returned about wealth, and the discussion was talking about how wealth does not equate to happiness in some measures - particularly in terms of factors of life stability, like reasonable access to healthcare...

		That's super cool, in this particular comment thread that's not what we're talking about.
