    That would be weird, since the graph is about percentages and not absolute numbers. But it would also be weird if there is a 'hidden' answer which comes down to 'i dont know' or 'i dont want to answer'.

    Not in the US, but my mom works for a really bad union whose greatest accomplishment seems to be giving employees paid 15-minute breaks every 4 hours or so.

    The union talks big about protecting employees, but really only protects them the way that an HR department would.

    The one thing that gives hope about this graph is that people have so little trust in Congress. Democracy doesn't work unless you mistrust elected officials.

    Yeah, but this poll was from Gallup—who trusts them?

    That is a disturbing and surprising level of confidence in the police. I’m definitely in some kind of bubble.
