No wonder the liberals are pissed off at her, she should be teaching him about slinging dope, pimping out your sister and neighbor, and how to get government benefits

Mom set up a lemonade stand for her son. It was a hit and now he does it weekly.

She put a post up encouraging other young people to learn about business by joining her son for 2 hour shifts so they could do one on their own. She was going to pay them $20 ($10 an hour) while they learned.

Someone reported her for attempting to exploit minors and she had to cancel.

It’s okay, Mom. While your son will go on to lead his own company, these other kids will be asking, “Do you want fries with that?”

Few things as selfish in the miserable leftist existence as feeding the bears until they cannot fend for themselves.

Who in their right mind would go to a site named yayhoo?
YAHOO MSN and the rest are blocked from my network for my personal mental health safety. Just saying.

Heaven forbid that a Mom loves her kids enough to want to teach them how to function, on their own, in the real world. Ten-to-one the person who called in the complaint is a Leftist who hates the free market.

God bless that woman!

My son had a lemonade stand (built it himself) for 2 summers with his friend. Learned a LOT...and made BANK!

The city inspector even pulled up in his truck for a glass.

Have to admit I was a little nervous and was cocked to film just in case to send any altercation to local media. There was no prob....and told me to tell my relative “hi”. LOL!

Wow, mom isn't going to take this lying down! Good for her and her son!
“Although my heart was in the right place.. someone else’s was not,” she wrote Friday [on Facebook]. “That person is no doubt reading this message, and this is for you: You CANNOT stop what is destined to be! You didn’t win! All you did is make me figure out another way.
Way to go, Mom!!

Re: Post 11...Way to go mom...

A few summers ago, ConservaTeen was mowing lawns with his own company, someone called the number on his truck (Mrs Deplorable number), Mrs Deplorable said, 'Is he bothering you? MYOFB,B. He can do it and he loves it.' The lady calling wanted to know why he was mowing lawns on a school day. Typical liberal, never heard of homeschooling!! 🤓

“You’re allowed to tell us what happened.”

That would require reading the article.

To sell lemonade? Government bureaucracy or both?

Great books for a thorough hands on economic education

People will not agree with all he says, but what he says is important

Used them on some of my kids.

Enjoyed
