#MentalHealth
Poll: The U.S. hasn’t been this bummed out in nearly 50 years.
Just 14% of American adults say they’re very happy, down from 31% who said the same in 2018.
Other findings include the public is less optimistic today about the standard of living improving for the next generations than it has been the past 25 years.
About twice as many Americans report being lonely today as in 2018, and not surprisingly, given the lockdowns, there’s also been a drop in satisfaction with social activities and relationships.
#7Eleven
There will be no 7-Eleven day where customers get a free Slurpee this year because of the pandemic.
This is the first time it has been canceled in almost 20 years.
Every July 11th, the chain celebrates their birthday by giving out the treats but since it attracts millions of fans to stores, they want to make sure customers are safe.
However, there will be a way for you to still get a free Slurpee.
In July, all 7Rewards loyalty app members will receive a coupon for one free medium Slurpee in their account.
It will be valid all month long so you can slurp at a social distance.
