It also makes little sense to donate to orgs to limit who can adopt when so many kids need homes, and are stuck as wards of the state.

Foster homes are a thing. It's not like they're all just in giant kid prison camps or anything. Plus, as a general rule, most people looking to adopt want to adopt either babies or very young children who have no problem being placed. It's generally the older kids that are more likely to have problems finding permanent homes and get stuck in the system as a result.

And that's excluding the wards of the state that are taken from their biological parents where there may be logistical issues making adoption difficult.

On the subject, my cousin -- for whatever fucking reason -- wants to adopt. However, as I pointed out to him, he's a single male -- there's no way anybody would let him adopt. The adoption system has an almost-universal scorn for single males. And up until maybe the 1970s, it was just straight-up illegal for single people to adopt in most states and even now it's far harder for a single male to adopt than any other demographic.

How can something else be at the bottom too?

McDonald's hardly has the worst chicken, or fast food in general. And the biggest reason it attracts the criticism it does is because it's the largest fast food chain in its niche (technically Subway has more locations but, other than its history of hiring sex offenders to represent the company, it doesn't seem to attract much criticism for whatever reason -- and honestly, it's probably the worst of the major sandwich chains)

The biggest chains are rarely the worst chains overall because, if they really sucked, they wouldn't be able to get big in the first place. (And some smaller chains aren't so much hindered by quality as they might just lack exposure or good business practices. And, of course, a lot of mom&pop fast food places have owners who lack the business sense to create any kind of a successful chain.)
