The Happiest Cities In America

 In repeating myself from earlier blog pieces I spend a good deal of time looking at what are supposed to be the best communities in America to live and raise families. What I've noticed is my community of Dublin, Ohio invariably shows up in the Top 10. I figure it might be this way because our Chamber of Commerce forks over cash to the publishers to get good recommendations. Maybe or maybe not. 

This morning I came across another one titled the happiest cities in American in which to live and I then sent it out to twenty or thirty contacts. Of course, I received comments back most of which came in the form of this: 'WTF is wrong with these people!?

WalletHub’s recently released rankings of the happiest cities seems to defy reality.  Then again, the psychologists who concocted the rankings seem to defy common sense.

The list was conjured by a bunch of homogeneous professors — by one measure, liberal professors outnumber conservatives by 12 to 1.  What’s more, the professors behind this “happiest cities” ranking are all psychologists, in one form or another. Perhaps one of the professions most dominated by liberal social activists, studies indicate that the ratio of liberals to conservatives in the field of psychology is 14 to 1.  That’s not very diverse. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/03/are_these_really_the_happiest_cities.html
