Happiness among countries, young people, older, and in America, per theSkimm // Crooked Joe for EVs //

Happiness

(CNN yesterday, but theSkimm today Thu 3-21-24) A new report revealed Americans' happiness is dropping, particularly among young adults.

WEAK, GIRLY, “PRECIOUS” Elmo asked people online how they were doing. He got an earful | CNN (Jan 31, 2024)

For the first time since the report was launched in 2012, the US no longer ranks in the top 20 happiest countries, falling from 15th place to 23rd. All age groups reported a decline in happiness, but there was a stark difference between older Americans and young adults. Americans ages 60 and up ranked 10th globally for happiness, while under-30s in the US ranked 62nd. Negative emotions were also more frequent among women of all ages. Experts say young adults are having a midlife crisis well before becoming middle aged.

Many point to polarization, social media use, and economic inequality between generations as potential factors. Then, there’s the fact that many young adults are dealing with loneliness and anxiety. That could be attributed in part to the covid pandemic, which affected people's education, careers, and ability to build community. If you’re looking to turn things around, experts say increasing social interactions, getting out in nature, and finding a sense of purpose can help.

Ppl actually “happy” in Finland. Other Nordic countries also ranked in the top five. Experts say that's largely due to those countries' national social support programs and positive health outcomes. Having a healthy work-life balance also apparently helps.

theSkimm: This latest report is sounding the alarm about the well-being of young adults in the US, and it comes as officials and experts have been warning about the loneliness epidemic and consequences of social media.

EV Joe

(CNN or theSkimm Thu 3-21-24) Boosting (artificially propping up) EVs. Yesterday, the Biden administration finalized new rules that limit tailpipe pollution from passenger cars and trucks. It's part of a wider effort to steer the country towards electric vehicles and hybrid cars. The rules won't go into effect overnight — to give automakers time and flexibility to decide how to comply. The Environmental Protection Agency said Biden's plan, which originally proposed half of all vehicles sold to be electric by 2030, now gives automakers until 2032 to cut emissions. Still, some climate activists hailed the move as a significant step in reducing America's greenhouse gas emissions (gas cars make up about one-fifth, currently). But experts say this won't be the end of the road, as Republican states and fossil fuel companies could challenge the new rule in court.

Alabama vs DEI in public schools // High blood pressure in America // Illegal invasion! // Women’s fertility ([re]productivity) and families shrinking // NOT READ: Little Rascals and Gaza drama //

Alabama tryna be Christian

(CNN or theSkimm Thu 3-21-24) DEI booted in Alabama. Yesterday, Gov. Kay Ivey (R) signed a new bill into law that blocks public schools and universities from using state funds for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. The new law, which goes into effect in October, blocks public schools and state offices from having DEI offices and restricts teaching “divisive” topics. It also prohibits individuals from using a bathroom that is different from their biological sex at birth, impacting transgender students. Critics said the law will undermine education and stifle free speech. One GOP state lawmaker reportedly said the bill’s goal is to prevent “compelled speech and indoctrination.” Alabama is the latest Republican-led state to target DEI programs, following states like Texas, Florida, and Utah.

High blood pressure

(CNN or theSkimm Thu 3-21-24) Nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure, the CDC says, but a few key lifestyle habits can help reduce the odds of being diagnosed with the condition.

They interviewed Leana Wen (sp) the ex Planned Parenthood short-lived asian leaderess…

Wen: I advise people to take an inventory of five key daily habits.

First, [exercise…] what is your level of physical activity? The CDC recommends at least 150 minutes per week of exercise that is at least of moderate intensity. There are substantial benefits to health at even half that recommended amount, studies have shown. People should also evaluate how often they get up to move during the day, as desk-bound workers may need additional exercise to compensate for their prolonged sitting.

Second, what is your current diet? Is it already quite healthy, with plenty of whole foods including fruits, vegetables and whole grains, or does it include large amounts of saturated fats and ultraprocessed foods?

Third, [drugs…] how much do you smoke, drink alcohol and use other substances? Smoking, drinking excessive alcohol and using substances like marijuana and cocaine can substantially increase the risk of heart disease. They can also make hypertension harder to control and can compound the negative impacts of high blood pressure.

Fourth, what is your level of stress? Studies have linked higher stress levels to increased blood pressure, as well as cardiovascular disease such as heart attack and stroke.

Fifth, are you at a healthy weight? Obesity is a risk factor for hypertension. People who are in the category of being overweight are also more likely to have high blood pressure. Reducing weight through lifestyle changes and/or through medications will also result in better blood pressure control.

Illegal invasion!

(CNN or theSkimm Thu 3-21-24) 2.5M illegal encounters at the US-Mexico border last year, according to Department of Homeland Security estimates. While the border crisis continues to overwhelm authorities, a new report shows migrants are substantially increasing the pool of workers in the US and could boost the economy by an additional $7 trillion over the next decade.

Women and families on wilful decline

(CNN or theSkimm Thu 3-21-24) QUOTE: “What we are experiencing now, and have been experiencing for decades, is something that we have not seen before in human history.” — Dr. Jennifer D. Sciubba, a demographer, commenting on a new study that shows women around the world are preferring and having smaller families. Data shows that the global fertility rate — the average number of children born to a woman in her lifetime — is expected to plummet through the end of the century, resulting in a profound demographic shift.

‘Little rascals:’ Group of boys in custody for Texas bank robbery

(CNN or theSkimm Thu 3-21-24) A group of suspected bank robbers the FBI referred to as the “little rascals” is now in custody — and one of them is only 11 years old. “They are 11, 12, and 16-year-old boys charged locally with robbery by threat,” the FBI’s Houston field office announced Tuesday. …. accused of robbing a Wells Fargo in Houston on March 14 ….

Israel-Hamas war drama

(CNN or theSkimm Thu 3-21-24) Negotiations to secure a ceasefire tied to the release of hostages held by Hamas are “getting closer” to a deal, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday. Hamas’ latest set of demands includes the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for 700 to 1,000 Palestinian prisoners. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed the proposal as “ridiculous” and “unrealistic” but said talks would continue. One of the toughest sticking points may be the Hamas demands that after the initial exchange of hostages and prisoners, Israel agrees to a permanent ceasefire and a withdrawal of the Israeli military from Gaza. Israel’s leaders, however, remain firm on carrying out a ground offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians have sought refuge.
