Episode 336 - Is Theft

Welcome back HWIDG fans, it's sunrise and buck is on his way down, Tab is on his way up, and they're both working on problematic terminology, incorporating more of it into their daily vernaculars. You know stuff like...- People Who Don't Warn About Speed Traps- Thinking Taxes WorkIn this world of Defund the Police, the best way to defund them is to stop the constant highway robbery that is speeding fines. Not by going the speed limit, which as we've covered before is not about safety at all, but by warning oncoming drivers that there is a piece of garbage pig around this corner waiting to steal from you for the "crime" of going 5 miles faster than the crown has decreed. Yet there are NPCs out there who whole heartedly believe that you getting fined a few hundred dollars for inconveniencing literally no-one is somehow justice. We need another amendment to the constitution protecting our right to drive as fast as we desire. Remember my thin blue line friends, there is no law that a cop won't enforce against you.Speaking of highway robbery, you'd think after all the money stolen out of my paycheck, stolen from my purchasing power, and then stolen from me for riding my motorcycle the way Sammy Hagar would want, that I would be riding on the smoothest most amazing streets on the planet. Everyone tells me that if we didn't have government we wouldn't have roads, yet somehow government can't even do a simple thing like make a road that doesn't look like a 15 year old anime fan that eats tubs of fried chicken. Driving in a car it's a lot less noticeable than when you ride, my daily commute has me weaving back and forth in the lanes to dodge potholes, weird humps where concrete and asphalt meet, and the occasional manhole cover. Where is that money going, and more importantly, why am I paying any of it?All that plus we play a special version of the match game, player four calls in, and Uncle Buck can't read text messages.
