What if it was Jim Jones poison lemonade?
. |
I think the bigger picture is who the hell wants to be hit up by kids to drink their lemonade anyway?

Secondly: lemonade stands, hotdog carts, hamburger carts,... none of those would stay at any location for a long time if no one was buying their products. The fact that people were buying lemonade or the fact that people at other events were buying hotdogs and hamburgers proves that people valued the services (the sale of cold lemonade, hotdogs, hamburgers,...) that were being offered otherwise people wouldn't be willing to hand over their money in exchange for those products. It's a great thing, it's called the free market. |

how much did they make? im guessing they just jumped in. their are rules from state to state on charity.
|
50 lemonade stands and I'm calling it a night.

$500 is cheap. Try setting up a lemonade stand up here at Yonge and Bloor and see how much sympathy you get.
Event or no event, you can't have people setting up shop wherever the fuck they want. The idiot parents should be bitch slapped and possibly investigated for exploiting their own children. Are their no applicable child labour laws? UBob - that good old "free market" is working wonders : http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2...s-out-of-money (Random link - there's millions more...) |
I don't see what the big deal is. Although as an inspector, I'd probably just quietly ask them to close rather than to issue a fine that can't be enforced against a child anyhow.

The fine was given to the parents. It was also later dropped. |

Q; should those kids be allowed to set up their lemonade stand in front of, let's say, a restaurant? What about in front of one of those burger and soda stands? Where do you draw the line and enforce the rules? Let me put it another way. If you don't like an existing bylaw, change it. The legal way. Petition elected officials to do something about it. You'll at least if anything find out what reasons they have for keeping it in place. But to just flout the law and set up shop wherever you FEEL is okay to, then ignore warnings to move by local officials, then cry about getting fined? Sorry, no sale. Maybe I'll go set up my family yard sale at the entrance to the mall this weekend. :D |
now the $500 goes somewhere...
|
Its not just in the United States this silly interference in peoples live is happening, its all over Western countries and its getting worse. God fuckin knows how bad it will be 100 years from now.

apparently the kids are grandchildren of the Mariott (hotels) Augustine (Lockheed Martin) families. They had a 10 foot by 10 foot tent with coolers and 50% of the proceeds went to charity.
county waived the $500 fine after the parents agreed to move the lemonade stand 100ft from where it was http://www.wusa9.com/video/default.a...=1001342238001 original report: http://www.wusa9.com/video/default.a...d=997423496001 |

the free market: Voluntary exchange. People who produce products and deliver service other people value and are willing to pay for. Producers who can only increase their market share by either lowering the price of the products they are selling or by improving the quality. the free market is a system where people who produce goods and service other people want are rewarded and where irresponsible wasteful behavior is punished. In the current mixed economy the irresponsible get bailed out, corporations are allowed to violate other people's property rights, oil companies are encouraged to take what otherwise would have been unnecessary risks because now the government just forces the taxpayer to pay for the damage when there's an accident,.... etc :) |
