As it should be....I agree 100% with the City on health inspections.
No one should be allowed to sell food/drinks without the HEALTH DEPARTMENT INSPECTIONS:
No one should be required to get a license to open a business.
If anyone bothered to read the article, the mayors office won't enforce making "students" get licenses. In my opinion only children 17 and under should be exempt. If you are 18 and still mowing, it should be a business.
"Alabama teens need $110 business permit to mow grass"
This is one very very small example of how it's harder to make a buck these days. Things like this are where Millennials have a legitimate complaint, though I doubt many understand the "why". Thirty years ago we didn't have this kind of crap.
The ironic thing is when others have stated these reasons for lemonade stands in the past, everyone claimed it was whining and excuses. Right here it is being defended for protection and safety or vilified for big government.
That mowing lawn permit is exactly the problem. These kids need to make a few bucks. They're not actually going into business. They may need some extra to go to the prom or fill the car up with gas. Whatever. Why cut these kids ambition with all this red tape?

Call it whatever you want, but there is no reason whatsoever for government to license lawn mowers. Except that the politicians want to control the people and extort more money from them.

That's what government does. Protects the status quo and prevents low cost competitors. The result is more poverty and unemployment.
In the 2016 election Alabama was perhaps the nations strongest Trump supporting state. And in Alabama most white people vote republican. How could a racial separatist community in Alabama that's 88.4% white vote 95% democrat in elections? When it comes to supporting Donald Trump, is Alabama No. 1? | AL.com
This isn't all of Alabama. It is one community a suburb of Birmingham(that votes 95% Democrat in elections), Not the entire State.
Austin has the same laws, to deny children that want to work and make money during the summers.
Kids still mow the neighbors grass, because although it is a law, like so many "feel good laws", there is no way to patrol or enforce it what so ever.
Who is going to enforce it? NO ONE... That's who.
Gardendale is 88% white, suburban and southern.
You're REALLY gonna tell us that they vote 95% for Democrats in elections?
That's an outright lie.
