What should a retail store employee do if she feels uncomfortable setting up a gay pride display at work? Dennis answers this question, discusses LGBT+ pride, and asks why “T” for “transgender” is included in this acronym. He also shares his thoughts on a recent Harvard study about happiness, discusses how the states can save America, and invites us to read his column, “Who’s More Irrational — The Religious or the Irreligious?”: https://dennisprager.com/column/whos-more-irrational-the-religious-or-the-irreligious/ Donate today to help keep PragerU podcasts and videos free!

0:00.0	Hi everybody, Dennis Prager here with both dogs.
0:04.8	Otto who is going to leave early, I'm sorry to say this is the new Otto and here is Snoopy
0:11.2	who might stay for the entire half hour because he loves being rubbed. Snoop. Anyway, Dennis
0:18.9	Prager here, fireside chat number 273. 273. That's my chance to talk to you about what's on my mind
0:26.9	and take your questions completely unscripted. And I want to share with you a thought on one of
0:36.8	the most important things in your life in any of our lives. A new study has come out on happiness.
0:43.3	I always always get a kick out of these studies. You know my view of studies, I have said it,
0:48.4	I don't know if I've said it on a fireside chat, but I've said it for much of my life. Studies
0:53.5	are largely useless because they either confirm what is suggested by common sense or they're not
1:03.2	accurate. In my life, I've encountered one study that went against common sense and turned out
1:11.0	to be accurate and I believe truth is number one. So I acknowledge it was it is that couples that
1:20.9	live together prior to marriage have a higher divorce rate when they marry, which is counterintuitive
1:27.6	because you would think that couples that live together know each other better are more used to
1:32.6	living with one another, configure out. Are we compatible? And then and I'm not talking about
1:39.2	religious issues of premarital living together or anything like it just on the face of it
1:47.2	statistically, but the reason it gave was so convincing as counterintuitive as it is, it turned
1:56.8	out to be very common-sensical. So really as I say they do confirm common sense or they're generally
2:05.8	wrong and this was in a nutshell, people who live together, if things aren't great, it's much harder
2:18.0	to break up when you're dating someone if you live together than if you don't live together
2:23.9	because it's really as emotionally wrenching as a divorce in many ways. So people who would have broken
2:31.6	up premarital, don't break up or are less likely to break up if they're living together.
2:39.7	So I did not think of that on my own and that was a very good study, but otherwise they don't tell
