I propose the following New Challenger:

Honestly for a corporate chain, it’s not bad given the price.

I dont know where you live but Domino’s is probably the best national chain at this point.

i can assure you california roads are not the worst. come to the midwest and east coast where we have yearly freezing/thawing cycles.

The Deliverator’s car has enough potential energy packed into its batteries to fire a pound of bacon into the Asteroid Belt. Unlike a bimbo box or a Burb beater, the Deliverator’s car unloads that power through gaping, gleaming, polished sphincters. When the Deliverator puts the hammer down, shit happens.

I just pointed out that this was more Snow Crash, but you beat me to it by at least a minute...

This is more Snow Crash than anything Gibson wrote. Snow Crash literally starts with a pizza delivery.

No one gets in the way of the Deliverator ....

Same materials list.

Or you neglect the potholes in favor of employee pensions and bullet trains to nowhere.

... By reducing the amount of money spent preventing and repairing potholes. It’s not that big of a mental leap...

Nice try, but fixing a patch in the road doesn’t make it “your” road. By that account I could have saved a bunch of money on the house I just bought by putting a new roof on it before moving, then kicking the owners out because it was now my property. Come to think of it, I probably should have tried that...

They paving companies probably don’t want to set a precedent of working with private individuals. Private individuals like to haggle; municipal government just writes a check.

Devils’ advocate: they put the patch there, so there are within their rights to paint it. IOW patch+paint = one event, not separate events.

Like, not directly. There’s no pothole god who creates potholes in anger everytime a corporation pays less tax.

To be fair, most people who want lower taxes have absolutely no idea how anything at all works beyond their ability to complain about lower taxes. If you showed them a state, township, or even federal government spending chart their eyes would immediately glaze over and they’d be thinking about season 48 of America’s…

Kinda poetic actually. Tax breaks for corporations are part of the problem and now some of the resulting issues have landed back in their court again to fix.

I’ll never get what sort of reaction they expect from stuff like this.
I get that the game itself might not be a bad idea and might end up making them money, that’s fine. But why announce this during E3?, the big event that is mostly watched by gaming enthusiasts, many of which have strong feelings towards classic…

I think Nintendo learned from Federation Force when they announced Prime 4 BEFORE showing a brand new 3DS Metroid. Judging by how EA is the only company that hasn’t improved their conference in the past 5 years, I doubt they will change any time soon.

Opened that trailer just to immediately downvote it.
