Too bad that happiness is banned in the USA..

What a silly thing to say. It's merely prohibitively expensive. I mean, reasonably priced and readily available for those that deserve it.

All in a monthly subscription service.

I thought it was a pay-per-smile subscription..

Oooh we didn't think of that. We just changed it to a subscription that you then also pay an a la carte fee for. This is somehow better for the consumer because of reasons.

Happiness breeds self esteem, self esteem breeds confidence, confidence breeds learning. Education, confidence, self esteem, and happiness are all antithetical to fear and obedience. We're much easier to rule if we're stressed out. Plus, the real reason for return to office is real estate value. It has nothing to do with worker morale or productivity.

Yea sucks, they banned compassion and kindness too

To be fair the pursuit of happiness in and of itself is an uncatchable carrot used to push the capitalist agenda. Happy moments are like sprinkles on a doughnut, few and far between. Contentment is what we should really be shooting for.
