merica’s infrastructure is in a sorry state. Bridges are crumbling, airports and seaports are falling into disrepair, and our roads are covered in potholes. This sucks for everyone, but especially Domino’s, which is so tired of potholes ruining its pizzas that it has taken to fixing them itself.

so it’s begun repairing these potholes in a handful of American towns. Already, the company has filled potholes in Bartonville, Texas; Milford, Delaware; Athens, Georgia; and Burbank, California.
Domino’s is also asking its customers to vote on which town to repair potholes in next. Customers can submit requests to pave their town’s potholes at Domino’s new pothole-related website. Any potholes repaired by this project will be emblazoned with the Domino’s logo and slogan.

This initiative is undeniably good for the towns where Domino's shows up. But the fact that a private company has to repair roads is a delicious indictment of the country’s infrastructure problems. Unless Domino’s wants to repair all the nation’s roads and bridges, we need to find a better solution than this.

>>317910 You mean pay more than they are legally required to pay under the current rules? Sounds like a good way to give competitors and advantage.

>>318797 it's not Dominos specifically. You know I'm talking about how corporations make nearly all the money in the economy, yet pay a far smaller percentage of taxes per their earnings than do individuals. Someone link that chart with what % of taxes are payed by corporations from years ago vs. now.
I just don't see a reason to go "wow good job domibro what a chill dude!" When solving this problem directly impacts their earning potential. They're not being nice, just practical.

>>318797 You realize large corporations continually lobby to lower taxes on themselves and deregulate the markets they participate in, so as to maximize profit.

>>315220 I mean at least for the iraq: the government also destroyed it, for the sake of companies interests (oil, military-industrial complex). If the US-government leads war, than it's not in the public interest, but in the industries.
