"Old Town Road" Parody written by Remy
Shot and Edited by Austin Bragg
Mastered by Ben Karlstrom
Track production by Wxsterr
LYRICS:
Sir, we’re gonna take these funds for the old town road
We’re gonna buy a ton of black asphalt
Right, we’re gonna take these funds for the old town road
We’re gonna pave and also fix potholes
or we could take these funds for the old town road
And maybe build a brand new stadium
Sir it’s our entire job to fix the old town road
We must ensure that -is he even listening? I’m thinking no.
This is so exciting
Look, the roof is shiny
So touched by this project
I named it Joe Biden
Sir, this is dismaying
Taxpayers are paying
Studies show these never create economic growth-
La la la la la la can’t hear what you’re saying
Can’t nobody tell me nothing
You can’t tell him nothing…
Can’t nobody tell me nothing
You can’t tell him nothing…
The roads are all unstable
We should fix them if we’re able
How broken are we talking?
Think month-old iPhone cable
We should not be subsidizing
A billion-dollar guy that
Will subsequently leverage moving
Look, our mascot has a trident!
Can’t nobody tell me nothing
You can’t tell him nothing…
Can’t nobody tell me nothing
You can’t tell him nothing…
Sir, the neighborhood’s complaining
Eminent domain it
Toll road, gas tax
Let’s call it a day then
Can’t nobody tell me nothing
You can’t tell him nothing…
Can’t nobody tell me nothing
You can’t tell him nothing…

"What about the roads?" -- Reason 2019

@marshaul 5 лет назад

If government is going to usurp the road-building market, it damn well better do it right. If you actually understood shit, you'd realize that criticizing bad government roads is part of the argument that government is not the _sine qua non_ of good roads. Holy fuck you pseudo-libertarians are retarded.

@marshaul 5 лет назад

@Steve Timmons Yeah but it's a dumb joke, and it's part of this more-libertarian-than-thou crap directed at Reason by pseudo-/non-libertarians whose primary goal seems to be to discredit and sow discord amongst libertarians. I've been reading Reason for decades, and they have been and remain far more libertarian than 99% of the people who play this stupid game. And Remy's got infinitely more libertarian "street cred" than this punk. Fuck Pham, in spite of his cool name (I'm a big fan of Vernor Vinge).

To be fair, cities keep building expensive stadiums because the teams keep threatening to leave, because the leagues keeps restricting the number of teams, because the leagues have anti-trust immunity from the justice department. The problem isn't really the mayors, its the justice department. Without that immunity, every economically viable town could have its own team, and threats to move wouldn't be this effective at getting cities to fork over money.
