somewhat good in some ways, and very bad in others.
I originally had "What is the state of the union" as the question, and I anticipated so many responses along the lines of "it's a speech" that I decided to change to a less compelling but more clear wording.
Unfortunately not as clear as you might think, at least in some of the other 190+ countries. 🤷‍♂️
The European union is doing fine overall
The countdown to the debt default continues which is why I went with “Very Bad”. Blowing up the world economy seems to be on track as extraordinary measures will run out this summer and there is no draft legislation filed.
Still way better than the CSA did. And for longer.
Oh, after voting I realised you didn't mean the United Kingdom. What union is Canadia in?
Well, that's disappointing.

I'd say somewhat bad.
76 people who happened to respond to a very ambiguous poll aren’t changing my mind. The union is good and getting better and the next two years will show exactly how much progress this administration has made as the major spending bills get implemented. The need for instant gratification fed by social media today leaves little room for understanding how government actually works.
also somewhat bad. I’m not sure it’s disappointing though, it seems people are being honest with themselves.
