I love the smell of global slavery in the air.

The rest of the story

Mommy Marriott providing these kids with dozens of coolers is not a kiddie lemonade stand

“It’s for the chil’run” is not excuse to ignore a warning

“It’s for the chil’run” is not excuse to ignore a warning and then cry about the ticket

A license is a contract between two parties, because it has all of the required components of a contract. Children are not legally allowed to take part in a contract because of their minority age.

Legal eagles, whadayathink?

File this under "stranger than satire." I just saw this on a Simpsons rerun last night.

I wondered whether these kids were maybe part of the Marriott family. I know the family has always lived in that area since I spent my teenage years there. This is naturally Montgomery County, probably the most aggressively intrusive county government in one of the most horribly Dem states in the country.

“The message to kids is: There’s no American dream,” she said.”

The Dream is having an inspectors foot on the back of your neck while he says you don’t have a permit to live.

The story was careful not to actually name “an inspector”, wonder how many violations his home has....

You beat me to it. The name Marriott also sticks out, of course. I’m guessing they live in the same neighborhood, given where the company HQ’s were/

"Cute little kids making five or ten dollars is a little bit different than making hundreds," replied the inspector. "You've got coolers and coolers here."

"To raise money for pediatric cancer," Marriott replied.

The "it's for the children" excuse. Glad that finally came back to bite these Bethesda/Montgomery County libs in the ass.

The Marriotts live next to the Congressional Country Club. No trailer parks around there.

If this story does not exemplify what is wrong with this country, then I don’t know what else will. The government is anti-business and anti-freedom from the top down. Not even children are exempt from their evil. Damn them!!!

They should have paid that PGA franchise fee and given them a cut!

You mean the same PGA that donates more to charity than all other professional sports associations combined?

I really no longer recognize my own country. This is certainly not the country I grew up in.

No, I know that quite well. I had a short term job there as a trash picker during a golf tournament as a teenager.

Just proves that government is an elite club of communists that money for their damn pockets is more important than common sense.
