Goal: Analyze real tangible differences in quality of life for American citizens

Goal: Analyze real tangible differences in quality of life for American citizens QUESTION ONE ChatGPT o1 Prompt: I want to analyze real tangible differences in quality of life for American citizens against government policies, economic conditions, healthcare system, prison system, mental health systems. There are no simple answers. I could also see how an analyze could get so convoluted as to be unhelpful. I have also learned that when it comes to data, we should ask smaller questions and then compiles the results of a lot of smaller questions, rather than trying to grab one sweeping dataset. That being said, before we worry about the status of systems or policies, let's consider what datasets could serve as indicators of quality of life, extrapolating out over decades?    Write this same answer but with links to each of those sites ChatGPT o1 Answer: Analyzing the quality of life over decades requires a multifaceted approach that incorporates various indicators reflecting the well
