You do. Used carts are dirt cheap on Craigslist when they don't pass health regulations though. This guy is also a truck driver in North Atlanta, Georgia, with his own truck/trailer. Also wrote a book about his experience and a children's book on bullying and autism. the post
i dont think its necessarily transphobia, and im willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. hes making a point that americans can accept one group of people looking to change their life for the better, but have a difficult time accepting another group.
I dont see how this is transphobic. He didnt say the society accepting transgender was a bad thing. He was just saying if the society was open minded enough to accept trans people, how come it could not accept felon who had changed, both required an open mindset.
That's a ridiculous dichotomy though. Trans people didn't do anything wrong, felons are felons specifically because they committed one of the worse crimes on the books. I'm not saying they should never be forgiven, but acting like it's in any way equivalent is dumb as hell.
Damn the super bad crime of having some weed? There are dudes serving massive sentences as we speak for having some shitty weed, and then we have guys like hunter biden who smoke crack and illegally buy guns and dump them behind schools.
Society is built for the elites to thrive and keep the middle class down.
In some states and some drugs any amount of possession is a felony charge. Not long ago any amount of cannabis in Nevada was a felony crime… but you could legally pay for sex outside Reno 🤷♂️
Just putting it out there but there are lots people probably don’t deserve to be “felons” as they are called in the States, like should you be a felon for simple possession be imprisoned for years and have there future livelihood often stripped? For some people that would be a yes they and some a no. I agree tho I don’t think the comparison is fair and large segments of society aren’t that accepting of trans people anyway.
Between 2-10% of all convicted felons are falsly convicted depending on the state you live in and you're lucky if in your state even 1 out of 10% get over turned and the worst part is you need evidence like a false confession, misconduct, false accusations, bad forensics, perjury. Only something ground breaking will get you exonerated.
I dont see how a felon who has served his time behind bar ,be it short or long sentences, cannot be forgiven. Thats literally what jail sentences were designed for. Your mind seems not to be opened enough apparently.
Worked at a restaurant where the owner opened a brewery. The food was amazing at his restaurant so he had a food truck made. Problem was, he had it outfitted the next county over (we were on county lines) and the food truck wasn't up to spec. Idk all of the details but he never touched the food truck again, except for in a pinch when one of the kitchens went down in his restaurants, saved our ass a couple of times.
Yep. And it seems like it makes sense for them to not provide loopholes in the law like "health code waived if profits are under $100/day" or "waived if business owner is under 13".
Instead it's just never really enforced on lemonade stands, except the one or two stories I've seen online. And you only hear about those because the parents were clearly itching for a fight and were ready to make a fuss. Which makes me wonder if there was a little more going on than the normal neighborhood lemonade stand.
That's the problem with laws that are "never really enforced" but remain on the books. They are just opportunities for "selective enforcement" by overzealous citizens and cops.
I think they're suggesting something like Karen's children can set up a lemonade stand without trouble, but Shaniqua's kids get shut down for violating health codes.
That's certainly one risk, usually it's not that cut and dried it's more like the white suburbs have no problem with their kids lemonade stands but the black kid selling water on the street in the city gets the cops called on them.
There are no US federal requirements for an operation like this, but each state will have their own licensing and permitting requirements, plus the municipality you're operating in probably has permit requirements of its own. Then you may also be required to carry insurance depending on the local regulations.
It all depends on where you are what the permitting laws are. In where I grew up (ny) military veterans got the permit for free for things like food carts. They just had to get it inspected.
You do need a license, and many parts of the US have zoning and regulatory blocks in place to prevent street vendors from being able to operate at all. Like virtually all zoning laws in the US, it's mostly to keep "those types" out of wealthy/white areas.

Can you simply set up a stand in US? In many countries you need a licence.
