Having a job is more important to people than how much they are paid, according to the first official inquiry into what makes Britons happy...

Mr Cameron said governments had a role in helping people "feel better" and that the national wellbeing index should help politicians and wider society "build a better life".
Paul Allin, director of the wellbeing project at the ONS, said the initiative would combine objective data, such as crime, employment and life expectancy rates, with subjective measures, such as fear of crime, job satisfaction and self-reported health, to give "a more complete picture of national wellbeing".

This HUMAN DEVELOPMENT outfit have 25 agencies under them. I haven’t checked but am inclined to think that this is where the Food for Oil scam originated, and maybe where the Micro-loan con-game came from along with the other - make the rich richer by using the poor. Ted Turner, Timothy Wirth, etc are involved...
“This all seems so familiar, so...progressive!”
Progressive - the word is such a fallacy. The Book of Job about his three “friends” sarcastically repelled it - “No doubt you are the people and wisdom began with you!”
The socalled progressives have been trying to corral us - euthanize us as useless eaters since Plato.
nooooo... Happiness is a Warm GUN!!!
