It's a great metaphor, as long as the context is dice gaming rather than leaf burning - you pick a bunch of components (or a complete machine where someone else picked a bunch of components), install SteamOS*, and hope that they all work well and work together well

That way it will be easy to read for everyone, especially those with poor vision (through larger fonts), no vision (through screen readers), or using mobile devices (probably the most likely device someone would use for finding a restaurant, actually. Definitely the most likely device someone would use from within the restaurant if they don't have a good view of the board).

So, you want them to stop "leaching [education, etc.] off society" by.. discontinuing hiring people here?
