I also think some further clarification is needed here to clear up some misunderstanding.

When you are using the word “state”, it is not meant to mean each of the states, as in Vermont, New York, etc.

Rather, you mean the word “state”, as in the phrase “state of the Union”.

If I am correct in the above stated thought, THEN, we agree!

Yes, that was it! Thanks for clarifying.
