Fuck Pew Research Center

The Pew Research Center did a poll with the question: "Just for fun: Would you prefer to live in a place with more McDonald's or more Starbucks?" Thank you to the 22% of us who answered "no preference". If you are wondering about the group "no preference," it's true. We are an older group. In fact 34% of people 65+ said no preference. And we're not really a Conservative or Liberal group, but we are definitely not moderate! 81% of moderates answered the question compared to only 22% of Conservatives and 21% of Liberals who had no preference. Yes, the Conservatives did beat the Liberals. I blame the Libertarians for the "Conservative" category winning. Come on, Pew! You don't remember the revolution? Happily for me, a Southern transplanted West, the region I live in improved from only 19% in the South to 25% in the West. It doesn't surprise me that so many Southerners have opinions on fast food since it is indigenous to the region. The East and West tied for the most no preference. College dropouts shamed themselves. 82% of them answered this horrible question. Maybe not shockingly given this essay, people with no preference are less happy then the people who answered, but not by much.
