They'd rather throw out food, incinerate clothes, products just so the poor don't get to it

Instead of helping your neighbor too you'd rather support the bloated institutions.

The money people have worked for years for whether it be for food stamps, insurance, social security other people see as "welfare" and laziness but I put hundred of hours in at work and I know damn well all the people that have worked deserve what little help they get.

I can't believe how many people here at glp and other places shill for these corporations and the fucked up society we live in.

I truly think that zero's cash for clunkers program was to make sure poor people don't get to have used cars for a reasonable price.

They are exclusive brands marketed to specific income levels.

They have a right to protect their products.

Give everyone a Prada and you’ll eventually have no Prada.

Feeding the homeless is now a crime in a lot of places. Thats what really sad!

What kind of nation are we that put people in jail for feeding and helping your fellow man or woman?

It is disgusting.

Seems some people didn't learn how to share in kindergarten.

There will be a price to pay for it.

It is what I personally count on.

I totally agree!

I know people that won't recycle cardboard because someone is making money off it.

When you hear that people starve but they throw unopened food away it boggles the mind. It's sad. I give away free stuff all the time as long as it is in good condition. People really appreciate it.

Honestly though the things in this post people will call you a communist/socialist. They will complain about people wanting $15 dollars an hour while some people have billions. I know a lot of hard workers that will never get ahead.

My favorite is when people here say well go get a better job. Ah yes because everyone can be a CEO or have a skilled trade job.

I worked for a retailer long ago who would shred the clothes that wouldn't sell and the reason is not what you think.

The reason is because the poor people who were given the clothes would return them to the stores and try to get money for them as a valid return.

Sad but true.

Leviticus 19:10

“And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.”

hell i remember they wanted to bulldoze a THIRD of the houses they'd foreclosed on just to keep the housing bubble going.

but they just got everyone to agree to fix prices which is even better.

thats why you see hotels with two people and 98 % vacancy wanting 100 a night. they aren't allowed to charge less via price fixing agreements.

same with apartment conglomerates.

they price fox wages at all the local monopoly chains too

I don’t think I like your politics, but the point about the food is very real. Have you ever been to a restaurant in a big city in the winter. There are all the homeless people out side suffering. Inside, they are throwing huge portions of food in the garbage. There has to be a way to organize this so all that good food can be distributed to the homeless, but not in a way that attracts them and hurts business.

Quit blaming capitalism when you are not living in a capitalist society. Your society is mostly socialist/communist at this point.

The free-market capitalist society installed by the founders of America has created more wealth, raised more people out of poverty, and increased the standard of living more than any other society on earth.

Corrupt and paid for corporations are not the fault of capitalism... it is the fault of your communist politicians who have drastically increased the size and power of government over the past 100 years. If the government was small as the founders indented it to be then they would have little power/money to give out.

In a truly free market capitalist society corporations/banks which are completely mismanaged and gambled away all their money would be allowed to go bankrupt.... which would allow banks/corporations that acted more responsible to take their place.

And it explains the vacant houses we all see while you have houses that are like flop houses where 10+ people have to crowd in to afford it.

You meant privilege level.
We exist in a crony capitalist system.
Have to be in the club to thrive.

^THIS^

and ^THIS^

Supply and demand.....

Control the supply and people will be demanding more....and gladly paying the inflated price for the privilege of advertising....


That's why the poor won't get any.....poor does not drive demand and piss poor advertising choice....

Look to the city government......Now in order to give away food to the homeless, a registration, inspection, and permit is needed.....oh a fee is involved too....

Back in the 80's my family owned a restaurant in midtown Manhattan and gave away food to the homeless every night....so did the green grocer on the block that had veg and fruits that were bruised or ugly....

Most things go to shit when the gov't steps in....

YOu can start a non profit and get licenses to feed the homeless legally.

They don't want random idiots food poisoning the homeless, so the ER gets overloaded.

Well if you have been here long enough

Will remember the guy somewhere out in

Ohio in the back of Wal-Mart

He was standing in front of cart after

cart after cart of food and non perishables

They were trashingperfectly good

food
