I know the UN, which you're a co-author on, puts out a World Report on Happiness for many years. Denmark was number one on the list.I think you slipped to number two this year-- still a very good ranking, considering the US continually falls towards the bottom.
But there is also countries that are above the line, countries that are relatively good at converting the wealth into well-being. Denmark has a lower GDP per capita than the US, but higher happiness levels, because there is investment in health care, in mental healthcare, in infrastructure, in education.

Countries are important. But cities are perhaps the things that can save us in the end. And Denmark is a nice size in the way of working together with huge American cities or important American cities, like Detroit. I'm Olga Stella.
He's a socialist. And AOC's a socialist. In Denmark , they're common sense. They're not progressives. They are talking sense.
And you can go on, you can look at, for example, Denmark . So Denmark has the most fertile farmland in the Nordics. It's a great agricultural production area, and they grow a lot of wheat.
People that are the heads of large companies. In Denmark , Novo is a big pharmaceutical company. They were also involved in it.
The map, to me, is funny. Even Denmark has companies like Maersk, which does most of the shipping around the world. They have enormous pharmaceutical companies.
So the notions here are the rise of moralizing deities. And Denmark is at the top, and it's one of the least religious cultures on the planet.
This image here is from a restaurant in Copenhagen called Schonnemann, which is one of the most traditional open-faced sandwich restaurants.

And what you'll see, if you're driving on the roads in the northern part of Finland, Sweden, and Norway-- they don't really grow in Denmark -- is people in full-- they're like beekeepers, because they're covered head-to-toe.

So the World Happiness Report usually focuses on the average-- national averages. And usually Denmark and the other Nordic countries come out on top when we look at a national average. But the 2016 report, I was really happy with, because for the first time, there was a global ranking looking at the distribution in well-being,
And I'm setting you up, because I saw an interview that you had done where you said-- someone asked you, what would America look like if-- as compared with Denmark , some of these concepts. And you gave an interesting answer.
Yeah, because I think maybe what I said-- and this might have to be edited out-- but I think I said Denmark is Bernie Sanders wet dream. And in Denmark , it's interesting to see-- because here, Bernie Sanders is progressive. He's a socialist. And AOC's a socialist.
I cut off the Y here. But this was Denmark Vesey, the leader of a slave rebellion, an American vet. And this is very "crosswordese" here, E-V-A-H, which is from a Cole Porter tune, "Have You Evah"--

But when I look at that little country, Denmark , which ranks as the least corrupt country in the world, and also the happiest, despite really bad weather-- I think Denmark is the least corrupt on this entire list. Yeah, I mean, we've got some competition from Norway, you know, sometimes.
