Pizza delivery

kevlar body armor was developed by a pizza delivery guy

Well yeah, but he was also an ex marine lol
Though he did get the idea after successfully defending himself in an armed robbery attempt while delivering pizza.
Yes it was
- Indeed
well now, how about that

It's also really, really easy to lose your job as a pizza delivery person.

- Turnover is already high due to shitty work conditions and low pay, but most franchises will also look for reasons to fire so they can keep wages low.
  A few minutes later than the customer wants but still within reasonable time? Oooh sorry they called to complain so we have to give you a strike.
  Customer doesn't want to pay? Tough shit, you shouldn't have given them the pizza without getting paid and that's two strikes.
  You were 30 seconds late according to the managers watch which is 3 minutes fast as proven by everyone's cellphones and the wall clock? Too bad, fired.
  And I'm not exaggerating. I'm just giving a real-world example.
- It's not so much about how pizza delivery drivers get easily fired. It's more about how cops get away with literal murder. If a pizza dude killed somebody who called for them, they wouldn't have a union and PR team fighting for them and showing that the murder victim was maybe kinda asking for it because they ordered pineapple on their pizza. That's a metaphor for a light criminal record, yes.
- pizza delivery guys don’t get qualified immunity
- "here is 6 months access to my onlyfans"
- Only if you have an order with extra meat. The same problem goes for plumbers.
- Know a guy whose friend murdered.a guy and didn't get paid leave or nothing. Straight up fired.

Not to mention the risk of being frozen for a thousand years.

I. C. Weiner?
- Here's to another lousy millennium.
- Crud.

Pizza delivery people have to get out of their car in any weather. Cops only have to get out of their car if they feel like it. Also, cops don't have to buy their own gas.

I feel like "The thin crust line" would work better than "The thin bread crust".

And it really does contribute to society

A pizza can feed a family of four. A cop could feed his family of four if his wife and kids hadn't left him for the domestic abuse reported amongst 40%* of all American cops.
40% is the self-reported figure. Unreported instances presumably would make the actual number much higher.
- Eat a pizza and you're fed for a day. Be shot by a cop and you will never be hungry again

I was robbed a lot when I delivered pizza.

May be you should have tried not getting robbed?

Tip your building superintendent this Christmas, they're actually on the top 10 list of dangerous jobs in North America, like 10 spots above cops. I've done the job and it's high risk of ergonomic injury, as well as accidents, and working alone makes it even more hazardous. You can get sick from the job, get crushed by garbage bins, electrocuted, poisoned, gased, burned, fall off a ladder or worse, and it's low pay.

Superintendent? Don't you mean janitor? Custodian?
- Custodian more like it, janitors just clean up. Many people call them building supers

And soon to be you will find them employed by the Mafia betting their own whole life upon the success of a 30 minute delivery.

And don't touch the Snow Crash.

Except at that point the Mafia are somehow supposedly the good guys?
- Uncle Enzo isn't going to let you down unless you let him down first.
- The best franchise!
- kinda hard to be worse than the police …
- No one is "good" just "good at" anyone saying otherwise is literally using religion to lie to you about being the very delusion of anyone that is "good."

Driving a car is why both are dangerous.

Edit: look up the most dangerous jobs BLS stats, and most common cause of death for almost all jobs is transportation related.

Other people driving is the dangerous part, hence garbage collection and postal delivery being near the top of the list.

You have to define danger and timeframe. Here are some calculations.
- Indeed. Iirc I contributed heavily to that thread with sources and it's simply not true almost any way you slice it.
  The closest proximity is using accidental vehicle deaths but it completely discounts the fact delivery drivers mostly deliver in town where speeds are low.
  Unfortunately there's no good data tracking for gig work yet which would be the nearest parable.
  E: I was not lazy and found my old comment for sauce.
- Police were more likely to be killed by violence than most other positions (which are almost always accident/negligence related), although somewhat ironically their most likely cause of death in 2021 was covid
  Just...WOW. In case anyone was wondering about how fucked the US police are.
- Yeah I'm just exhausted tolerating you cop hating retards. You're so far gone you're arguing in bad faith and using literally any bottom of the barrel numbers to say the dumbest bullshit.
