Was thinking why would anyone from Norway want to come to this Sh*hole country now with its Sh*head leader and leadership? Norway is #1 in <https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2017-03-20/norway-ranked-worlds-happiest-country-of-2017> a <https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2017-03-20/norway-ranked-worlds-happiest-country-of-2017>s the world’s happiest country. US dropped to #14 last year “…An analysis of the country included in the report cites “ severe deterioration of America’s educational system,” increased mortality rates, climbing inequality, and more perceived corruption of government and business. U.S. leaders, it suggests, remain too focused on economic growth, ignoring the "deepening divisions and angst in American society." "The United States offers a vivid portrait of a country that is looking for happiness in 'all the wrong places'," the report says. “The country is mired in a roiling social crisis that is getting worse.” …” I was also thinking no wonder China is heading up the world investing in these ’S’ countries to make them better, more vibrant, with infrastructure and education investment. helps the giver and the receiver - and the US sinks further behind.

"Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?" Trump said, according to these people, referring to African countries and Haiti. He then suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries like Norway, whose prime minister he met yesterday. The comments left lawmakers taken aback, according to people familiar with their reactions. - - - Archives <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now> <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/126574-c4ef450a> | Modify <https://www.listbox.com/member/?&> Your Subscription | Unsubscribe Now <https://www.listbox.com/unsubscribe/?&&post_id=20180111170153:0699A7EE-F71B-11E7-B876-B29636BF7305> <http://www.listbox.com/> ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/18849915-ae8fa580 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=18849915&id_secret=18849915-aa268125 Unsubscribe Now: https://www.listbox.com/unsubscribe/?member_id=18849915&id_secret=18849915-32545cb4&post_id=20180111223457:8DD41996-F749-11E7-8743-BA13EFBD4F0A Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
