I sure as hell do. Mom should have kept the stand going and eventually sued their sorry ass. That is SO calif. And demlib.
We’re not sure who to be angrier with as we relate this next item — busybody bureaucrats or the well-meaning people who are only enabling them.
It’s a new twist on the familiar story of a kid’s lemonade entrepreneurship that runs afoul of one or another local ordinance — in this case, a “gourmet lemonade stand” launched by 10-year-old Anabelle Lockwood of Fountain Valley, California.
The Orange County Health Department got wind of her venture and informed her that between the proper permits and getting her stand up to code, she’d have to shell out $3,500. In 30 days. Or else.
Anabelle’s marketing-minded mom decided to turn to the crowdfunding site GoFundMe....
As of this morning, the effort has raised $3,270.
But no, we’re not happy with the people who contributed to this effort. We daresay they’re only emboldening the bureaucrats. After all, young Ms. Lockwood is hardly the only child in Orange County who might want to open a lemonade stand. The next one is unlikely to meet with as much fundraising success. If someone really feels passionately about the issue, why not raise hell at the next county board meeting? Guess it’s easier to hit “Donate” and feel good about yourself that way…
