    No, you see, you just get every citizen to pay a little bit into the bridge, and then everyone can use it. Maybe we put some of that money aside and establish a group of people to care for the bridge, upkeep and whatnot. It wouldn’t be fair to just pick them arbitrarily, so we should probably hold some kind of vote. And, well, I guess the money will run out, so maybe we take a little more from everyone every year, just to keep it in good shape

    Huh? That sounds like what? Gov–

    Oh fuck wait shit i mean DONT TREAD ON ME

      I live near the projects (no judgement, I had my stint in the pjs) and there’s a dude who lives there who flies a “don’t tread on me” flag. Guess he doesn’t mind treading so long as it’s paying his rent though. 🤔

      He recently upgraded it to the “thinly veiled let’s overthrow the gubmint insurrection 1776” flag. It makes me want to drop a note in his mailbox asking who will pay his rent if he overthrows the govt?

        Yeah but he’s just a temporarily inconvenienced billionaire, the rest of these welfare queens are out here collecting rent and sitting around all day. They don’t need the money like he does. As soon as he gets a job, he’ll hustle that first billion in no time.
