        Yes, Information stays on the internet and you can read articles / posts that are old. Feel free to Google the numbers.

          The burden of proof is on the claimant, not the skeptic. Do your research.

              You mean, you looked and weren’t able to find anything other than a rando on reddit to support your opinion.

              edit: just google it bro

                  Your lazy ass seems to be struggling to (despite saying you didnt want to with a rando) support the opinion that there are more libraries in US than fast food restaurants. Fortunately for you, I am prepared to argue the opposite, because fucking obviously.

                  The number of fast food restaurants.
                  The number of libraries.

                  You should have tried (only just a very little bit!) harder.

      Didn’t you say there are more fast food restaurants than libraries? Less than 10% of the fast food restaurants where I live are McDonald’s.

        It seems to be McDonald’s in particular.

              I recently read that there are more libraries than fats food restaurants (in the US), so seems like libraries are doing just fine.

                Yeah, it was McDonald’s, which is still impressive IMHO.
