Default Re: The Daily Reckoning vs. Guns and Ammo

The other day, I read in the news that Japan's GDP is shrinking. Japan is in a recession again. Their policies are not working and what not.

But then I dug in deeper and found that Japanese people are a lot happier today than before. Their GDP is decreasing because their population is decreasing.

Standard of living for people is still going up. But not a single news outlet mentioned that. No one mentions positives anymore.

Isn't it amazing that your source of news (or lack of it) determines how happy you are?
