...heroic officials keep dangerous women from selling their stuff on the street.

"Julie left the fair in tears".

there ya go zenman...

Zealous and mindless bureaucrats are the reactionaries' best friends.

I'm not one for politics but if I were a Republican running for office in Oregon, I'd make Julie the face of my campaign. Just look at this picture:



How adorable is that?! That picture, along with the story about how the health inspectors made her cry and some hyperbolic talk about Democrats taking control over everything, even a little girl's lemonade stand, should be all I need to win.

That would be a good set up. Have the mom create a scene with the health department officials so people gather around. Then the turkey leg guy comes over and offers her fifty bucks to work at his stand. Great word of mouth and profits all day. Later, they meet up at the campground, he slaps the girl and grabs his fifty back. Fucking gypsies. Can't trust em.

Progressives and their over layering of bureaucracy. No wonder this country is falling apart.

Although this is a heavily Democratic area, therefore the inspectors most likely had been expecting a little something extra in the $$$$ department to let this stand thing go.

$0.50 for 12-14oz of lemonade is pretty steep. The girl is racking up high profit margins on her lemonade.

Nobody is forcing anyone to buy her product, Alexei T34.
