I work in logistics and I’m bored so I did a little math to show you why you probably won’t entice a driver at $75 unless your path and theirs align pretty closely. Delivery joints running the kind of route you’re looking for stay afloat through volume.
Let’s assume you did this run yourself with a pickup truck. You can rent them from U-Haul. Rates for RVA are $19.95+$.89/mi(200mi)+$3.10/gal(10gal)=$228.95ish for a day rental. The equipment cost of $.89/mile is a pretty average reimbursement rate to account for the maintenance cost incurred by using the car. Minus the $20 U-Haul is charging on top of that, you’re still looking at ~$200 trip without the cost of someone else’s time and labor.
Edit: actually, let’s call it ~$170 trip. I should have subtracted the cost of gas to account for the mileage rate U-Haul is charging.

He loves it when a plan comes together.

My personal favorite DIY is a compressed airhorn. When it gets loud outside your window/door, it's highly effect in sending a stfu announcement for you. And your neighbors who are equally annoyed by the screaming will be tapping you on the back the next day, laughing at the ingenuity.

To be fair... Have parents ever taken responsibility for their kids at movie theaters? I was in middle school in the nineties, it was common to ditch the kids at the local Regal, and show back up after a couple of hours. By no means was that a new thing at the time.

No one should be nice to racists.

What would that accomplish? Most likely somebody who has nothing to do with what you’re angry about having to clean up that mess. Find constructive ways to vent your anger where the people who actually deserve it are the ones affected. Also don’t litter or be a petty criminal if you want to accomplish anything, all it does is sow further division and give them ammo.

You can move to a communist or socialist country and stand in several different queues for hours on end to buy bread or milk or vegetables. You will get plenty of socialization in whilst standing in line, comrade.

I think they would be better served by building a metal fence around their property than their current yard nazi antics

Went for some metal bands, I thought it was perfectly fine. No problems getting drinks, no issues with the show. It was a good time

I get that rowdy and stupid kids are the reason this is a thing, but it does kinda piss me off as a high schooler

I had to drive to the Norfolk airport this past week for the Global Entry interview. There was nothing in Richmond, or even Dulles when I looked for appointments.

it has always been "we are working on it" or "its in the works" or "we have done everything we can" since October.

That's a good idea. Meet you there in an hour.

Don’t see where this is really that strict. In my experience the next to last screening of the night starts between 7 and 7:30. That means kids are having to leave about 9-10. The last show is 18 and up.

If we use diamond axes I think we can harvest some lava down in the netherworld.

This is the worst state in the country to speed in. Jason Serth did jail time for a similar crime. He made $24mil that year.
A lawyer is a must for a reckless here. It’s not like other states.
