Government killing private charity

[Quantum Windbag]

Thus the OP thread title is a lie, government is in no way ‘killing’ charity; the program may continue once the zoning variance is obtained. And the program is allowed to continue to the end of the summer.

The City has a responsibility to ensure the safety and well being of all residents, children in particular. The City would be grossly negligent and remiss in its responsibilities by allowing food distribution of this sort to proceed unmonitored, it’s naïve and ignorant to maintain otherwise.

This is a non-issue, and the thread is a failed and pathetic attempt to vilify government when it is merely carrying out its responsibilities in good faith.

Why, exactly, does she need a zoning variance to hand out free sandwiches?

because it is in a residential zone.

Believe it or not, feeding children is not a commercial enterprise.

Hard to put prepaired ,eals into a Swiss bank account. She could just let the kids into her house and feed them. Word of mouth is already out there. If she had done it on the down low there would have been no hassle.

I suspect her house just doesn't have space for that many kids, not to mention that many kids would likely be a bit rambunctious, so there would be concerns about things getting broken.

I imagine that would be her problem, not the city's. On top of that, she is handing the sandwiches out from her driveway, not her kitchen.

Who the fuck cares where she's handing them out? Hungry kids in the neighborhood are being cared for and fed.

I've never seen a program with hands or a mouth....

No, but those administering such programs are human and just as prone to jealousy and fear of losing funding that also pays their salary.

I'm confident in saying, I'm 100% certain nothing this little old lady was doing was a threat to any goverment program.

anyone who breaks laws is threatening some government program.

The zoning ordinance requires payment of fees. Or did you miss that point? $1000 buys a lot of food for hungry children, or don't you understand that? She attended all pertinent food-handling classes required? Missed that too, didn't you?
Libs are not satisfied unless their all-wonderful government is doling out the goodies. Private charities and people who have a personal will to do some good should be punished. Always the claims that government only can provide for the common good, denying that private individuals and groups can feed the hungry, house the poor. I guess it would be just terrible to discover that your whole meme is a fiction, that your role is a farce...

I am quite sure liberals prefer the program that runs in my neighborhood during the summer, where the elementary school's cafeteria serves breakfast and lunch to poor children. Of course, that requires the expense of running the lights and air-conditioning, the cafeteria workers at the main branch who have to prepare all the meals for all of the places that participate in this program, the local cafeteria workers who get paid to serve the meals, the janitors who have to open, maintain, and close the schools . . .

No doubt they do. It gives them an opportunity to feel personally responsible for alleviating hunger...using your dollars and mine. Nothing makes a lib feel more righteous than having extorted hard-earned money from one citizen to foot the bill for another. Especially when it's "for the chillern".

Fiddle away but trust me---the government wants control.

Under pressure from the community, the local leaders agreed to let Prattis finish her mission this summer, but told her she would need a zoning variance to resume the operation next summer.

Oh yeah it all about liberal, socialists, communist, progressives. It is just so easy to throw those words out there and try to make them stick. If you are not aware those laws are the same ones that are similar in every city, township, megalopolises, etc. They were put in place when an area was under the planning comission, many laws have been on the books for 75 years or more. They were put in place by repubs, dems, indep., or whatever political affiliation they bought into. But your insistance that they are left policy only is laughable, cause buddy you are only showing your ignorance, and that is what we doo, laugh at fools to entertains us.

Your lack of ability to make a sound argument is duly noted.

That's probably a good thing. My parents raised 8 of us and would have been in violation, given current standards.

We have a new Nero.

 

[Moonglow]

yeah, those repubs, indep, anarchists want to throw away variances in their hoods. They want everyone to run a diner, auto repair shop, shop shop, body shop, tat parlors, strip joints, race tracks, right next door to you.

yeah, unaffiliated registered me is a partisan.
I merely pointed out the facts of the council, nothing partisan about facts.
Next ignorant statement from you?

No, dear, what we want is for common sense to be applied to the difference between a neighborhood lady handing out donated sandwiches and someone running a business.

Common Sense is dead and has been replaced by politcal rhetoric.

Moonglow would rather have an oppressive government than one with common sense. But what do you expect from one that can't distinguish between a for profit company and a charity.
Sad.

Sure, you were just pointing out a fact. I know I'm new, but do you really expect me to eat that line of bull?

even a non profit operation is considered a business.
