Description: Richer citizens of @@CAPITAL CITY@@ have been caught using blue flashing lights and sirens to bypass the laws of traffic and get where they want to go faster.
Validity: Not valid for nations where cars are banned, not valid for nations with unlimited speed roads.
Options:
[option] “What? Just let me go about my day.” Grumbles an overweight man in a tracksuit who is also wearing several gold chains and a gold watch, as he squats in a chair in front of your desk. “I’m a busy chelloveck! I've got to be places if I want to keep my, err, “@@INDUSTRY@@” company running strong. I don't have time to observe all the tedious and arbitrary traffic laws like the rest of the rabble! Besides, it’s just a product, and if someone’s got the money to get where they want to go on time, they should be allowed to!” [effect] CEOs can be seen weaving between cars on their way to work.
[option] “Are you kidding me? These sirens are a symbol of the pig-dog bourgeoisie!” shouts mad-as-hell student activist @@FEMALE NAME@@, who is also somehow an overly concerned busybody mom. “Think of the children!” everyone else present noticeably rolled their eyes when she said this, “And the common man! These speeding fake official cars are in danger of hitting stray children, and a sign of the hideous decadence of this nation’s wealthy! No one should be above traffic laws, for Violet’s sake! I propose that individuals with a net worth over a million @@CURRENCY@@s be fined more than the average person for speeding. That'll show them for being capitalist leeches who hate children and probably baby ducks and puppies too!” [effect] Millionaires have suddenly taken to riding bikes or having their butlers drive them places.
[option] “I’ve got an even grander idea!” cries your cousin Janine, who has suddenly burst forth from a pile of old and dirty coats in the corner. “It’s always cars this, cars that, I’ve had enough of the degenerate “auto culture” in this country! It used to be that only the wealthy had cars—they were symbols of high culture, power, and status! But now there’s nothing separating the aristocracy from the unwashed masses. I propose we force all people who make under a million dollars a year to go around in electrically powered pedal cars! That way, they'll know their place...” she recedes back into the pile of coats while giving you a knowing smile and a wink. [effect] The streets are clogged by ridiculous vehicles caught somewhere horribly in between electric bicycles and cars.
