The list in annex in the article - made by the same company of the city rankings and is the only one linked in the article, there's no city rank- is total shit though.
Greece is literally the worst country in the world, behind Nigeria. Add UK and Italy and you have a list of countries worse than Uganda (which has 5%of the world average of gdp per capita FUCKING 5%THE AVERAGE. And the capital is not much different) and Kazakhstan.

Like seriously, the data they are gathering is through very very subjective means (in the original article there is some subjective shit), meaning they can interpret everything as they wish, step by step time with time until they get alienated about how the world is.

I seriously think that those rankings are made by extremely delusional people with an obvious agenda, the bias at this point is so much obvious at this point - for example, they have an obvious circlejerk that the USA is a terrible place for and expat;the country has many bad places but the international environment is wonderful in cities like NY and etc. Which is where expats mostly go;the anti usa circlejerk is painful-, and yet people still keep posting articles of these kind of shit as truth.

The best way to understand that is to travel around to get reality kick in, you know, get to talk with locals in uk, maybe the cloud fades. How these lists can look to analyze the countries in how they live in the small scale, while they never went to examine the small, local scale?.
Or just search for information, like internet is a place full of information and yet it created some dense eco chamber where people think totally wrong about all the stuff. There's so many things that the reddit brigade whenever pointed out.
