>street vendors are some of the most chill people i've know
yes, your people in your country are some of the nicest people you know
but these guys are uninvited guests in another country crashing on some dude's driveway? in what world do they have the right to do that?

@rlier23 @ImperialAgent @bronze @deprecated_ii as a former door to door salesman I can tell you there is no absolute right to solicit on someone else's business without their consent and in fact is a criminal offense in most places.
No wonder your country is such a shithole

>le street vendor is worse than fuckin cartels
glad to see your priorities are fucking straight
nah there are some serious issues with at least half of the population here and that just drags everyone else down.
but street vendors are some of the most chill people i've know, most of them sell what they grow in their land, sadly most of that money is stolen by the government and narcos :reimu_sigh:

Here's what happens:
You get asked to leave
You refuse
You get charged with tresspassing
"Do you have a license to solicit,sir?"
"No."
You get fined for that as well.
Some places don't allow any solicitors at all and will fine you a few hundred bucks if caught.

@Terry @rlier23 @ImperialAgent @bronze @deprecated_ii you get treated like this because you're a lesser class of citizen - a taxpayer. Brown people are your betters and they don't have the boot pressed on their neck in the same way it's pressed on yours. The fundamental problem with the guy in the OP is that he's being uppity. He's a miserable peasant that's sperging out and waving a pitchfork at some people just because they're displaying some privilege that's forbidden to him. What's a guy like going to do next, complain that rappers can use words he'd get fired for using? The state needs to stomp on people like this as quickly as they reveal themselves, to encourage the others.
And for the record I think street vendors are cool, and the every time I ever saw a rule enforced to put one of them out of business, it was a dumb act of self-destruction
1. little on-base barista got chased out by jealous pizza vendor, who thought that their shitty coffee could be sold to the same people. Instead, people stopped showing up for good coffee and also stopped buying pizza to go with it
2. taco truck got chased out by owners of campus snack machines - that people still didn't use because nobody wants expensive candy over real food.
I just wish I could set up shop as freely, too. I could make some easy money plopping down a cooler with ice and bottled water in it, while working 'from home'.
This is very similar to convenience stores which tend to be owned by brown people who are conspiring with other brown people to perpetually qualify as "new immigrant business owners" with massive tax breaks that make it not worth it for anyone else to run convenience stores. The owners are all cool people. But, man, it'd be nice if it were a little bit more disguised how much my government hates me, just because my family's been in this county for a few hundred years already. I can't even do anything about it. I was born this way!
