We are fucked.
Some people out there in our nation don’t have maps!

I’ll be real here for a moment. I can’t find New York state on a map and I live in it. My East coast geography is pretty bad. And I had a map of the United States on my bedroom wall as a child.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m all for calling people stupid. I do it all the time. But what has geography done for you lately?
