1Jamaica: Let's Get Together and Feel…Miserable?Jamaika: Andao Hiaraka Ary Hahatsapa Ho…Mahantra?
2The Cato Institute recently released a list, ranking countries according to their “level of misery”.Vao haingana, ny Ivontoerana “Cato”, no namoaka lisitra ny filaharan'ny firenena miankina amin'ny “tahan'ny fahantrany”.
3The misery index is an economic indicator, defined as “the sum of the inflation and unemployment rates.”Ny mari-pandrefesana ny fahantrana dia miankina amin'ny toekarena, voafaritra amin'ny “fitambaran'ny fiakaran'ny vidim-piainana sy ny tahan'ny olona tsy an'asa.”
4For the 2014 ranking, Venezuela was ranked Number 1. Jamaica was ranked Number 5, thanks to “interest rates”.Amin'ny filaharana amin'ity taona 2014 ity, Venezoela no eo amin'ny laharana voalohany. Jamaika kosa eo amin'ny laharana faha 5, noho ny “zanabola” izany.
5The ranking has spurred discussion on social media: many netizens were not surprised, while others - even while acknowledging that Jamaica has many problems - expressed scepticism.Nahatonga resaka tamin'ny media sosialy io filaharana io: tsy gaga tamin'izany ny maro mpisera amin'ny aterineto - raha ny sasany kosa - na dia manaiky aza fa manana olana maro i Jamaika - dia mampiseho ho tsy resy lahatra ihany.
6diGJamaica.com tried to placed the ranking in context, even listing reasons for Jamaica being miserable:Niezaka nametraka io filaharana io tao anatn'ny vanim-potana iainana ny vohikala diGJamaica.com, nitanisa hatramin'ny antony mampahantra an'i Jamaika aza:
7Let us zoom out and look at the bigger picture.Andeha hejerentsika akaiky izany ary hijery ny fitambaran-javatra misy isika.
8We were at 75 on the happiness list last year, a steep drop from 40 in 2012.Tany amin'ny laharana faha 75 isika tamin'ny lisitry ny fahasambarana tamin'ny herintaona, nilatsaka 40 be izao oharina ny tamin'ny taona 2012.
9According to the 2013 findings, Jamaica is less happy now when compared to previous studies carried out in 2005-2007 (40th).Raha ny valin'ny tamin'ny taona 2013, mihena ny hasambaran'ny Jamaika raha oharina amin'ny fanadihadiana tanyaloha natao ny taona 2005-2007 (faha 40).
10Jamaicans have certainly perfected the art of using ‘kin teet' to ‘kibba heart bun,' so we are quite adept at tricking others into thinking everything is ‘irie.'Voafehin'ny Jamaikana tsara ny haikanton'ny fampiasana ny ‘kin teet' ho ao amin'ny ‘kibba heart bun' (fanafenana ny fijaliana amin'ny alàlan'ny tsiky sy hehy) noho izany, mahay mandainga amin'ny hafa tsara isika amin'ny fieritreretana fa ny zava-drehetra dia ‘tsy olana.'
11However, it is no international secret that we're dealing with several troubling issues, despite our ‘no problem' tagline.Kanefa, tsy miafina amin'izao tontolo izao fa miatrika olana maro mampiahiahy isika, eny fa na dia eo aza ny ‘tsy misy olana' ataontsika tsangan-kevitra.
12At Jamaica Journal, Kate Chappell argued that the measurement of “misery” is more complex than the study implied:Nanamafy ny heviny tao amin'ny Jamaica Journal i Kate Chappell fa sarotsarotra kokoa noho io fomba nampiasaina io ny fandrefesana ny “fahantrana”:
13It seems, not surprisingly considering the ideological bent of the Cato Institute, that economic factors are given the most weight.Hita fa, tsy mahagaga raha jerena ny firehan-kevitry ny fikambanana “Cato”, izay anomezana lanja kokoa ny lafiny toekarena amin'ny fanadihadiany.
14Of course, these are relevant.Marina fa tena mifanaraka amin'ny zava-misy ireo.
15There is no doubt that Jamaicans are experiencing financial difficulties, which spill over every aspect of one's life and affect its quality.Tsy hisalasalana fa miatrika olana arabola maro i Jamaika, izay mihanaka be amin'ny lafiny rehetra amin'ny fiainan'ny tsirairay ary miantraika amin'ny kalitaon'ny fiainany.
16However, there are intangibles that I assume the researchers did not take into account, such as how much family and community factor into daily lives here, as well as Jamaicans' ability to have a good time, no matter what.Na dia izany aza, misy ireo lafiny tsy azo tsapain-tanana no tsy nojeren'ireo mpikaroka ary tsy nampiasainy tamin'ny fanadihadiany, toy ny hoe: firy ny fianakaviana sy ny kasinga amin'ny vondrom-piarahamonina monia eto, hatramin'ny fahaizan'ny Jamaikanina miaina ampifaliana, na inona na inona mitranga.
17There are many other intangibles that are part of the culture here that contribute to quality of life.Maro ireo lafiny tsy azo tsapain-tanana anisan'ny kolontsaina aty izay mitondra ny anjarany amin'ny fahatsaran'ny fiainana.
18She added:Nampiany hoe:
19This is obviously a complex issue with as many factors as there are ideologies that are employed to assess big concepts such as a ‘misery index'.Tena mibaribary be fa olana sarotra io, satria maro ireo singa ao toy ny hoe misy ireo firehan-kevitra izay ampiasaina amin'ny fanamaritana zava-dehibe toy ny “mari-pandrefesana ny fahantrana”.
20Here again, to me, is an instance of over-simplifying and overlooking the millions of stories to be told and accounted for.Eto izao, amiko, dia karazana fanatsorana be fahatany indray io ary fanaovana tsinontsinona ireo tantara an-tapitrisany izay tokony hotantaraina sy hazavaina.
21Warren was not surprised by the ranking:Tsy mba gaga tamin'ilay filaharana i Warren:
22We seem to be creating records in all the wrong places.Toy ny hoe manangana tarehimarika amin'ny toerana tena diso isika.

24Just speaking to people around you on a daily basis, its desperation, hard luck stories and a sense of nothing seems to be moving forward in this country.Miresàha fotsiny amin'ireo vahoaka manodidina anao amin'ny fiainany andavan'andro, ny fahadisoam-panantenany, ireo tantaram-bintana ratsiny, ary ny fahatsapàna fa toa tsy misy zavatra mihatsara amin'ity firenena ity.
25What is interesting about this report is it comes one day after a poll was released suggesting that business and consumer confidence has rebounded.Ny mahaliana amin'ity tatitra ity izao dia izy nivoaka andro iray taorian'ny nanaovana fitsapan-kevitra nilaza fa nihatsara ny amin'ny lafiny fandraharahana sy ny fitokisan'ny mpanjifa.

46Reading the paper. Jamaica ranked fifth most miserable country because a Portia basically but them say interest rates.Mahatsapa io mpampiasa Twitter io fa nentina nandaminan-javatra fotsiny ny antony nanaovana io fandaharana io:
47- Dellano Blake (@Aggressive_Soap) April 30, 2014Mamaky ilay gazety aho izao.
48One visitor didn't pick up on an overriding tone of misery during her trip:Any amin'ny laharana faha dimy i Jamaika amin'ny firenena mahantra indrindra voalohany indrindra i Portia, fa nolazaina fa tahan'ny zana-bola.
