    I guess you just ask someone how happy they are in general.

    Edit: I found the study (see my other response) and they used this:

    To assess life satisfaction, respondents were asked, “All things considered, how satisfied are you with your life as a whole these days?” They were asked to indicate their satisfaction with life using an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (dissatisfied) to 10 (satisfied). This measure has been shown to have appropriate external validity and has been widely used in cross-cultural studies of life satisfaction

    There are scientific studies which show that parents are overall less happy than adults without kids.

    Of course parents still do a lot of stuff but it’s because most of the time it’s even more stressful to stay at home with the kids. And as you noticed it’s stuff mainly for the kids. Of course some things parents can enjoy as well. But the main thing about being a parent is that you can’t just do what YOU what, especially not spontaneously.

    And the post was about vibe and chill, which is definitely something parents do a lot less than they would like to.

    I don’t trust the statistics of a state that let millions inhabitants starve to death.

    How exactly was the normal worker in control of production? Wasn’t it more like production was in the hand of the state, which in fact was very hierarchical?
