I just watched a show set in present day where kids were allowed to leave campus during lunch, and I thought that privilege was dead as a dodo.

Were **you** allowed to leave school grounds at lunchtime in high school? (if you attended multiple high schools with different rules, vote yes if at least one allowed you to leave)

If you said **yes** , which decade(s) did you attend high school?

What color is the vehicle you drive most often?

Choices represent general color groups, ie. maroon or burgundy are both red. There are no multi-colored vehicles; pick one.

If you have single stream curbside recycling (in other words, all your recyclables go into the same bin, no sorting required on your part), what would you estimate is the majority of the contents of your recycling bin, by volume, on a typical recycling collection day?

I have become supreme ruler of the Earth. My first act as dictator is to ban all internal combustion cars from the road. I will, however, provide you with an electric vehicle of your choice, up to $60,000 MSRP. Which EV would you like?

See [this article](https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g32463239/new-ev-models-us/) for descriptions of the models. The poll omits cars with a base price over the $60k limit.

A tycoon has opened an enormous science museum in your city, the largest in the world. It has thousands of exhibits on every scientific and mathematical topic under the sun, along with thousands of desks and couches for quiet reading. There are IMAXs, flight simulators, replicas of spacecraft, a retired Boeing 747, food court, Starbucks. It is open from 11 AM to 11 PM every day.

Only problem is, admission is $60 for adults and $15 for kids. The tycoon defends such prices by saying he paid for the billion-dollar museum entirely out of pocket (no taxpayer funding) and the operating expenses are half a million dollars per day. Other problem: the museum is in a rather remote location and needs 40-50 minutes’ drive on even the best of days to get there.

How often do you go, with or without your kids?
