If Jesus was in Orlando he would get arrested for feeding the masses.

The City Council voted to prohibit serving meals to groups of 25 or more people in parks and other public property within two miles of City Hall without a special permit. wesh.com

You see when TPTB want to take pictures of the magical world that is Orlando they can't have large groups of folks that seem unable to leverage all the magical social and workforce policies & practices that Orlando is famous for now can they!


I can see how it would be an outrage for business and government in the main part of the city not want to have to deal with pesky problems, yet when others that do try in Orlando they are arrested. Are these folks in Orlando subhuman! And, I am not talking about the homeless or those helping them.

I bet they would really hate it here will all the do gooders.........except these two... Two of the city's five commissioners voted against the ordinance, including Commissioners Robert Stuart, who runs the homeless shelter Christian Service Center, and Sam Ings, a retired police officer.

The commissioner who pushed for the ordinance, Patty Sheehan, said it was not an "easy day" for her at all. wesh.com

I take it Patty has never been hungry and had no food, let alone homeless cuz if she had she would know that every day of her life is a walk in the park compared to what Orlandoians and many many others now face.



Here is some local flavor about this:

What level of carcinogens is safe for kids these days to be greedy companies.

Group finds carcinogens in kids bath products - USATODAY.com

Many children's bath products contain chemicals that may cause cancer and skin allergies, according to a report released Thursday by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.

Twenty-three of 28 products tested contained formaldehyde, the report says. Formaldehyde — considered a probable carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency, — is released as preservatives break down over time in a container.

PRODUCTS TESTED: Full list

Thirty-two of 48 products contained 1,4-dioxane, also considered a probable human carcinogen by the EPA, is a byproduct of a chemical processing techniques used to make petroleum-based ingredients gentler to the skin. Nearly two-thirds of products tested, including Johnson's Baby Shampoo, contained both chemicals, according to the campaign, a coalition of environmental and health groups that includes the Breast Cancer Fund and the Environmental Working Group.

Oh yea in the same article

Manufacturers have known for years that bubble bath, shampoo and other products contain small amounts of formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane, and have already reduced theses levels significantly, says John Bailey, the council's chief scientist.

Bailey says that preservatives make products safer by preventing the growth of bacteria, fungus and other potentially harmful microbes. There's no reason to take "extraordinary measures" to further reduce levels of these chemicals, he says, because there's no evidence to prove that low levels pose a risk.

See it's safe because there is no evidence.........Hey Mr Lawyerman Bailey does that mean tests were done or since none have been done there is no results? Not that the word of a major US corporation (or any for that matter, like the offshore international conglomerations) that been know to have a few kills under their belts all the while been takin our money. Mr. Laywerman has been proven over and over again and again.

Just fix the problem and try to make amends or go out of business your kind of company is not wanted here. Gone are the days of Corporation's with no SOUL killing us with only a concern of profits and damage control.

The people are rising up and it seems the likes of you are the last to notice.

Did the Boston Globe just slander a good man or just slither by on sloppy reporting.

New Obama technology chief on leave after FBI raid on old office - The Boston Globe

WASHINGTON - An aide to President Obama is on leave from his new job after the FBI raided his old District of Columbia government office yesterday, arresting a city employee and a technology consultant on corruption charges, a White House official said.

Vivek Kundra personal office was not raided it was the of the office space of the the acting chief security officer along with a contractor for a private company. Ya know the ones that were actually named in the suit.

The Globe is totally making it appear that Kundra's office was raided. However he did the right thing by stepping aside to allow the facts come to light as to his knowledge and or even involvement.

Now as to the rag it did the wrong thing by making with it's head line seem like someone at FOX made it up. Now take a mirror and get a look at the beast that killed the newspaper business.

WOW! talk about bad PR

Citigroup just gave 13 million dollars away to a bunch of insurance brokers WTF

Citigroup Said to Pay $13 Million for Scrapped Resort Trips - Bloomberg.com

March 9 (Bloomberg) -- Citigroup Inc., the recipient of $45 billion in government rescue funds, doled out $13 million as compensation to employees whose trips to resorts the company was forced to scrap, two people familiar with the matter said.

Citigroup paid 1,900 agents of its Primerica Financial Services Inc. unit $5,000 each for missing a three-day stay at a Bahamas resort, the people said, speaking anonymously because the amounts aren’t public. Some 2,000 Smith Barney brokerage advisers got debit cards valued at $1,000, $2,000 and $3,000 for various canceled getaways.

Hello, Regulators and Taxpayers

Primerica is a not even part of the main Citigroup it is a separate company that sells "Financial Planning Services" at least that is what they told me when I went to work there after college. Great sales training btw and one of the things I always remember them saying is that PFS was part of the umbrella of companies and it was something that was pointed out yet mentioned too often.

What is my point. That Primerica's annual conference is paid for out of the profits of Primerica not Citigroup. Another BTW each "broker" is an independent agent and more then likely wrote off the trip for this gig in years past. Not this year thou baby, for just being some how related to Citigroup banking operations these independent agents are getting thousand of tax payers dollars each.

I call on these agents of Primerica to give back each and every dime of that money. If they don't I call on the customers of these agents to not renew those policies when they come to collect those checks this year cuz it is pretty plain to see that the government is going to do nothing to stop this and will likely just give them more money.

How much BS are we going to put up with.....
