Idiots..........

I make it a point to buy from the mexicans selling oranges and strawberries on the street corners. At least they are trying to be productive. I doubt they have licenses, but I dont care at all. Much better than the bums on welfare begging for money

Every year or two I hear this same stupid story repeated.
The only thing different is the location.
Old dino recalls selling lemonade as a little hatchling. Sold some in paper cups and was not hassled at all.
People got uptight about other things back in the 50s.
I could even play without adult supervision in a public park without my parents being arrested.

I applaud the parents. Rather than just give them the money, or say the couldn't afford it, they allowed them to become businesspeople. Even in the face of regulation stupidity, they continued on their quest by doing chores. Hurray for them. Those girls , if they are allowed to maintain this attitude are the future. Or at least, the good part of the future.

By the way, I have imbibed several quarts of lemonade stand lemonade with no bad results.

The law is the law. Blind justice. Great!

Then why is Hillary still free?

Oh yeah, we live in an entitled state of unaccountable oligarchs... Can't understand why she wants our guns...

Hello Abaco,
Protection racket...
“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”
― Ayn Rand
Respectfully,
O.A.

I've yet to see bodies in the streets from drinking lemonade, but there are hundreds of thousands of bodies resulting from prescription drug deaths, even when properly dosed. The only difference is a license. Perhaps a license to kill.

the police force in Midway would have gone far in Nazi Germany...wonder if they would have thrown the switch to gas the girls if the law required it...

what these girls have learned is that you cannot open a business in the usa.

Cops could have taken up a collection to treat the girls to the water park. Instead the power-mad bitch closes them down. Worthless looting scum.

Think of the children! -- oh, wait a minute...

"We don't know who made the lemonade or how it was made so they have to shut down."

It isn't the government's responsibility to be nannies. That is for consumers themselves.

I also note that no one from the city council showed up to be interviewed...

Stinking bastard government drones........

I bet that the IRS is horrified that the police shut the lemonade stand down before they got their cut.

Who is the neighbor that complained. Someone, generally has to have called the authorities. Some neighbor that has nothing else to do or just contempt against these fine young kids.

I remember hearing about this. If we wanted to get from where we are now to a less intrusive place, how would you do it?
1) Have the police look the other way as long as it was just kids doing this on the side?
2) Create exemptions in the law for child-run stands like this?
3) Have the police do an"informal" inspection in lieu of having official permits?
4) Abolish all laws controlling food preparations. It's up to the customers to assess them.
5) Change the law so their only required to be independently insured so if they make someone sick, that person sues and wins, they will be able to pay the judgment.

The answer could be a combination of them and countless ideas I haven't thought of.

My thought is #5. I'm also for #1 and #3, but only to a small extent. I think when you give gov't power, it must use it consistently, as these police say. They can't show favoritism to their friends or the politically connected. The police seemed like good people who would be happy if the law were changed (by #2, #4, #5) to allow the kids to keep selling.
