Ah, the good ol' pursuit of happiness seems to have taken a hit in the United States, with the country slipping out of the top 20 happiest nations. It appears that economic discontent is raining on the parade, especially for the youth who are facing some tough times.

Economic expert Mike Shedlock points fingers at President Joe Biden's policies, citing issues like high home prices, stagnant salaries, student debt, and a challenging job market as key factors fueling this dissatisfaction. It seems like Black Americans and those under 30 are feeling the squeeze more than ever.

On one side of the ring is Shedlock painting a not-so-rosy picture of economic woes and shifting political sentiments among young people. Meanwhile, comedian Bill Maher steps in to offer a glimmer of hope by highlighting positive indicators like a booming stock market and successful pandemic recovery as signs for optimism.

It's all fun and games until someone brings up politics and economics at the dinner table! Here's hoping for brighter days ahead where both happiness and economic well-being can coexist harmoniously in everyday life.
