Pretty happy. There’s universal healthcare, there’s decent investment in infrastructure and when there’s corruption, people tend to go to jail. There are two main parties and although things are bitterly contentious between them, neither one seems to be radically rewriting the social contract. It’s not perfect of course, but seems like paradise compared to the country I moved from, which sadly has fallen to the fascists. Of course, there’s a giant authoritarian country next door that keeps saying they are going to invade us, so it probably won’t last.
