wojak-nooo um aktually he was arrested for not having a food license and could have made them all sick and might as well have been killing them and thats why only licensed businesses should be feeding the homeless during charity drives so they can write off their taxes and take donations and pocket like 80% of the money and and and and and and..

    This was literally the reasoning they used to shut down my local food not bombs free kitchen. Not only were we more rigorous than most local restaurants about food safety but we were also distributing sanitizer and masks in covid safety packages back in 2020.

    Fuck this fucking country anything else I have to add is illegal-to-say

    yeah it's infuriating. i worked with a local Food not Bombs (ex and a friend were occasional volunteers) a long time ago on the supply end never on the actual food distribution but even back then they were getting chased all around the city

    it completely upended my entire worldview on homelessness
