IDC walks along the sidewalk. Hoping over cracks in the cemented walkway. Nothing seemingly happy going on. Just the same old birds chirping and night stars shing. What a nice ice cold January day to just sit down for a minute. He drops to the floor and sits crisscrossed. Staring down at the road real quick. He takes a sip of his booze before looking up around the neighborhood.

"Why does everything seem the same. Same old speakers, same old leaders, and even same old faces. Nothing new around. Nothing really real happening.. Huh.  I guess thats just what it is... I guess so Bud... Heeeh." He says to himself quietly before smiling. Time to move on.

IDC good points.  I think this is why we need a Leaded of the Streets, and the ñreturb krì⁹⁹⁸ì

OK, let's get this moving 

Your accountant makes note that $8,000,000 has been wired to Tommy_Vitale from your account. The note "From WhyIsTheToaster - let's get the gazette going" was included.

Now we are in business! Finally!

The Toaster takes a seat in a lovely leather, Victorian style chair. He leans back in comfort with his suede robe dangling off his body. A single testicle hangs out. He lights up a pipe - the classy kind - and begins looking over his notes...

"So Tommy, it seems no matter how much pressure you receive from mobsters across the nation, you simply refuse to put out another issue of The MR Gazette. I've heard rumblings about another project you have in the works. Care to discuss the details?"

Tommy_Vitale I don't support this idea of centralising the power of newspapery into the hands of one head-editor, and I am still in the camp of starting back up the MR Gazette.

Do you even know what you're advocating for?

If we continue down this road then before long we'll get another news tyrant like the late and infamous SaddleFlashing (thank fuck that clown was a genetic dead end), who tried to buy up all newspapers so he could personally curate all news and ensure there was at least one mention of Lobster Ravioli in each and every article.

If we centralise the newspaper industry, then we might get into a situation where news articles about post office robberies get censored. Or where asking for tips becomes a BANNED practice.

Do you want to write newspaper articles without getting any tips, @Tomme_Vitale?
Do you want to experience what it's like to be Transistor that badly?

Is there currently a newspaper being actively published? Or are they all defunct? Where is a man supposed to get his news from? Would 300 million dollars bring you out of retirement, Tommy?

Gary you don't know what the fuck you're talking about you knuckle-dragging ape.

What prestige, Gary? Journalists are among the most unfairly persecuted and hunted groups around here, if not the most. Where is The Saddle Flashing? The Cyraxx Tribune? Systematic Immolation of Gnus? Banker's Digest? Shuttered, out of print, their editors violently murdered. Journalists have a right to be compensated fairly.
