San Francisco has a reporter who found that people getting free food at the food banks were going a few blocks away & re-selling the food for what ever they could get. They got video footage of this & broadcast it a couple of nights ago on Fox station.
Free food is handed out to people with no proof of residency or ID of any kind.
Another San Francisco Liberal mistake.
If the objective is to give food to the poor, and you have people take it and then sell it to others, the question is did the poor get the food?
Or, were those wealthy matrons from the Condos who were down there buying donated food?
It's entirely possible the "resellers" actually improved the performance of the free food market.
Do we have any "resellers" on Free Republic? They can tell you how this works.
Quite frankly capitalism is a good way to distribute goods and services in the most efficient manner.
There was a woman selling food at her sister’s flea market stand. People marveled at the low prices of the stuff. Turned out it was bought with free government money.
In the old days, private group homes for the retarded would ask for donations of things like Christmas decorations and return them to Walmart for cash.
