Wow, but look at all of the attention this girl is getting from this, too. There’s probably people trying to donate money to her, just because of all of the attention that this is getting. Controversy sells.
We can’t have children leaning capitalism! She might grow up and start her own business - yikes!
Capitalism isn’t permitted in a Socialist society, Comrade. Anyone that doesn’t want Socialism is obviously crazy and should be committed to a mental institution.
If I paid for a licensed and inspected vendor’s permit for a monthly public event like this and somebody dragged a table out and set up and started selling their wares, I would complain.
If they want to have public events and attract crowds and raise money for the neighborhood, then they have to ensure that the vendors come to bring the attractions that attract a crowd.
If they don’t license vendors and sell space, how are they going to have their event?
Or do you chest-thumping people here think neighborhood festivals just happen spontaneously?
On the positive side she's getting a firsthand lesson in big oppressive government.
What do you tell him?
Sad story. Then again, another Portland liberal begins her conversion to consveratism.
