We need to transition from a measure of Gross National Product to Gross National Happiness, recognizing all the factors that go into human happiness and working back from there. Health, education, fulfilling work & community connection should be the primary goals of public policy

We must end poverty & make sure everyone has all the basics of life at no cost to anyone. Everyone should have a home, clean water, food, healthcare, education, a clean environment, freedom, peace, civility, & dignity.
In the LOVE Union, there are no deficits for money creation. Nor are there any taxes, debts, bills, rents or mortgages for anyone. All money is created digitally directly into each individual's bank account. 1/13

Nice thought. Happiness doesn’t pay bills unfortunately ❤️but I love your thinking in an ideal world.

Health, education, fulfillment and community connection are all around us. I think they're the foundation rather than the goals. We can't legislate people wanting them, working for them or having them... much less giving them away to others.

Okay, but can you please ask @PetSmart why they have removed their letter of support for #blacklivesmatter from their website? A good answer from them would bring a lot of people happiness.

With the astronomical data that indicates the mental health of Americans is so pervasive-that is a tall order

And a possible family bonding factor

Yes and ironically a political anthropology generated by two brilliant 19th Century men has a lot to offer the blueprint of such goals.
