Pizza delivery is notoriously dangerous. More pizza delivery drivers get shot than cops. It took a long time for people to build up the courage and sense of responsibility for pizza before they braved those streets.
Everyday i consider being a cop, good overtime pay, life isn’t at risk, do whatever you want swap precincts if there are issues no biggie, its a legal mob that protects their own, no real risk, they just stand around let shootings happen, speed everywhere, free whip, my friends have seen cops from local areas doing coke in ppls houses, they’re corrupt af just havin a good time, no ones about to stop them like on tv, everyones in on it
This is America. People do whatever the f*** they feel like doing, you got a problem with that? Because they have a right to. And because they have guns and no one can f***ing stop them. As a result, this country has one of the worst economies in the world. When it gets down to it–we’re talking trade balances here–once we’ve brain-drained all our technology into other countries, once things have evened out, they’re making cars in Bolivia and microwaves in Tadzhikistan and selling them here–once our edge in natural resources has been made irrelevant by giant Hong Kong ships and dirigibles that can ship North Dakota all the way to New Zealand for a nickel–once the Invisible Hand has taken all those historical inequities and smeared them out into a broad global layer of what a Pakistani bricklayer would consider to be prosperity–y’know what? There’s only four things we do better than anyone else:

I honor our pizza delivery drivers. o7
I served in the pizza delivery service for nearly ten years 🎖️
Where were you stationed?
Thank you for your service, culinary logistics veteran.
Papa John’s, West Virginia 55th company. Still get flashbacks when I hear someone say “garlic sauce”. Can’t believe I made it out alive

Nothing personal, but ain’t nobody got time for Delta Quadrant Pizza delivery. That’s coming out of your tip, Kathryn.
I see the Trek reference, but I feel like I’m still missing something…
I was a part of delivery team six. We lost a lot of good men on that delivery run. 22 pineapple pizzas changes a man.
And I’M STILL WAITING!!! I ordered this pizza in 1997! How long does it TAKE???
I remembered your Diet Dr Kelp, though
This is more of a America problem than a pizza guy problem.

Unlike your coppers, your pizza delivery people don’t deserve even risking getting shot.

You read my mind.
Those skates!
This is the internet.
Pretty certain that stat is from America. Also, pretty certain my post was the opening to one of the most famous cyberpunk novels of all time.
