Earth doesn't have any bills though, dues to the United Federation of Planets are set to start in 2161 at the earliest

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Why should we pay those dues when we're not even receiving any intergalactic highway funding?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, we don’t even need to worry about the dues. Our planet has already dropped to a “C” level rating. The odds of Earth being recognized are now slim to none.

We should have returned the Space Bucks.

If we’re not careful, it’ll get demolished in favor of a space bypass.

There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now.

Would you happen to be interested in poetry, by chance?

Under no circumstances should you ever allow a Vogon to read you poetry.
