New Jersey Teens Just Learned What Happens When You Start A Business In America
Submitted by Simon Black via Sovereign Man blog,
When I was a teenager, it was pretty common for young people in my lower-middle class neighborhood to find work.
I was a waiter myself… though probably one of the worst in history, as I may still hold the record at Tippin’s Restaurant and Pie Pantry for the most cups of coffee spilled on patrons.
A lot of other kids would do odd jobs like cutting the grass and whatnot. And some of them were pretty successful at it.
I remember two kids in my class, Ryan and Will, had a very successful lawn mowing partnership.
One of the reasons they did so well was because they realized how much more efficient and profitable they could be if they could maximize the number of clients within a single neighborhood.
Instead of wasting time driving around from neighborhood to neighborhood, they could focus on servicing as many yards as possible within a few blocks.
This was an extremely important lesson for them… and one they would never learn in school.
It’s obvious that doing things like this provides incredible and in many cases life-changing lessons for kids.
It’s the whole idea of having the freedom to start something from scratch out of your own sweat and labor, to provide a valuable service and to work hard, and stake your reputation on the quality of what you do.
This concept is at the very foundation of the American Dream. Or at least it used to be.
Case in point, last week, two teenagers in New Jersey were going around their neighborhood advertising their snow-shoveling service right before the big storm hit.
Seems pretty enterprising. But in the New America where security trumps all else, a local resident called the police to report about the teens’ “suspicious activity”.
It’s the starkest example of how “if you see something say something” is one of the most enslaving, destructive mantras in history.
Police actually came out to investigate since, apparently running a snow-shoveling business is something that only criminal terrorists would do.
Even when the police saw that it was just two harmless kids trying to earn some money, they didn’t let them go on about their business.
Instead they forced them to stop. Because in the Land of the Free, it seems you need a permit in order to offer to shovel snow for people.
And so these two entrepreneurial teenagers were sent home by the police for their lack of permitting after being suspected of suspicious activity by a local resident.
Just think about the lesson that’s being reinforced here: if you get off your ass, go out there, and try to take charge of your financial future, you’ll end up with nothing but a bunch of headaches, accusations, and unpleasant encounters with the government.
These kids just learned that in the Land of the Free, they’re better off staying home.
It’s a terrible thing to teach people, especially kids in their formative years, and it happens all the time; we constantly hear these stories now about little girls getting run off from their lemonade stands, etc.
Entrepreneurship and enterprise are good for everyone, creating successful businesses, jobs, wealth, and valuable products and services for an entire society.
You’d think that a government drowning in debt would bend over backwards to encourage people to get out there and hustle.
Instead they’ve done just the opposite.
Whether intentional or not, they’re waging a de-facto war on one of the last remaining cultural values that made America what it once was.

Doesn't everyone know you gotta bribe to stay in business?
They are just teenagers so give them a break. Soon they will learn that bribing city councilmen with "campaign contributions" is the American way. The mafia won't touch them after that.
Y'all do realize how hard ranching would be if cows actually tried to improve their lot, start up businesses, and work for prosperity, don't cha?
Same as it ever was ...

Why the fuck would anyone 'do' anything? I mean, I know two young adults -- mid-twenties -- with two kids. He 'works' part-time at a grocery store for about $100 dollars a week. She stays home to rear the next brood. The rest of their monthly 'income' comes from the state. They just got a $6,000 dollar refund check. The guy makes less than that a year. Why the fuck do I work?
I strongly disagree with the sentiments in this article. The truth is that regulations enforce high standards in business, allowing only top quality companies such as Goldman Sachs, GM and Verizon to serve Americans. Regulations are quality controls - they ensure that consumers get nothing but the best, and can safely spend their hard earned money, knowing that they're getting the best possible products and services at the best possible prices. Regulations mean that Americans don't have to worry about quality or choosing between 1000 different companies for the same product. Instead they are presented with a few established companies with proven track records.
When you need your walk shoveled immediately, service is only a few hours away. Kinda like the popo.
Maybe we can unionize these folks as well.
Keep up the good work MDB
Is why I checked out long ago. I relish being considered a crazy in a crazy society.
I am Chumbawamba.
Now if they had said they were shoveling for free, they wouldn't have had any problems at all.
Why not just rob some houses instead, easier work and if you get caught you get 3 squares a day.
Don't worry be happy.
The squares probably taste about as good as they sound...
Well, this just pisses on the illusion that all young people are lazy and don't deserve the traditional low-end, entry-level jobs that the older generations have been forced to take, doesn't it? Time for new propaganda sessions at community college kids. High school obviously wasn't enough to brain-wash your minds.
These kids made the mistake of not being mexican while trying to find simple work, that's all. If they had been total beaners, the cops would have left them alone.
Best response to a cop asking you to stop mowing the lawn or shoveling snow... "No Habla Ingles."
This story has been in the local news/talk radio shows for a few days now in the Philly area. Most people are outraged, as I think any rational person would be. So, it's not like there's a lot of people on the other side of this issue.
Cops showing up and harassing them is only the front of the story. The township/borough were this takes place is WELL KNOWN for draconian regulation. It's a LOCAL thing and it starts with the town council/board of supervisors who just love to cause people grief with what are ordinarily pretty common and tame Peddlers/Solicitors ordinances (many towns have such ordinances). The cops were under strict orders to shut this kind of stuff down- even kids by the board of this town, however.
(To top it off, I think there are ordinances you must have your driveway cleared within X hours of a snow storm. So they're double-dealing here.)
My question, which I never got answered, is how could kids who are under 18 even be ALLOWED to sign a legal document (local business license) and have it be in any way binding, even if they had the $50 to pay for it?
NoDebt: They probably need to have an attorney look over the documents at $350/hr, have it notarized and stamped, and then send in their application for a business license to shovel snow . . . which should arrive by August.
MillionDollarBonus: Spoken like a true bureacrat.
Hire a kid to shovel snow?!?!? He slips on the ice, breaks his arm, next thing you know he owns your house, car and savings account....
At least they weren't caught selling cigarettes on a street corner, they might have been killed by the cops.
They should just stay home, play video games, go to Princeton to study economics, collect their allowance from their parents into their mid-thirties, then kill their parents for the inheritance money.
Instead, the entrepreneurs should have gone door to door and convinced everyone, shaman-style, that the homeowners were at fault for the snow because of their property ownership and if the customers wanted the snow to stop falling they would have to pay the shovelers a monthly fee.
Shit...How do these amateurs expect to be tooling around in their own private jets if they don’t learn to commit to saving the planet?
Sounds to me like maybe “Officer Friendly” has jackboots and a full US/Uke-Nazi gear-load on nowadays.
What surprises me is that the evil homeowners aren't being TAXED for the snow that is collecting on their roof.
Getting a job always makes my head hurt.
pardon me for bringing a foreign point of view
"The township/borough were this takes place is WELL KNOWN for draconian regulation. It's a LOCAL thing and it starts with the town council/board of supervisors who just love to cause people grief with what are ordinarily pretty common and tame Peddlers/Solicitors ordinances "
this is all about regulations on how to conduct trade and business
this is also about the experience, made everywhere on this planet, that local authorities can be... maddening, in their use of trade/business regulations. I have been a small entrepreneur for most of my life and can sing a song or two about this
one fantastic example is cup sizes in NY and another beer can sizes in FL
in the EU, we came to an astounding solution: make one damn trade/business regulation for a whole continent. sure, rubbish regulations will still be issued. that's human. but then, they are easier to shoot down then in such "whack a mole" situation where snow showelling gets prohibited in one borough, and by the time some media picks it up and they get thrown in the rubbish basket the next five boroughs have new ones
a kind of centralism? perhaps. nevertheless, I'm more confortable with this specific centralized approach. I call it the Cloaca Maxima Approach: if it smells badly, centralize. on the other side, if it smells of roses, decentralize
It seems to that it is error in thinking to judge a question of centralized vs decentralized without also considering scope / size.
The larger the scope or size the central authority is attempting to 'control, coerce, cajole, manage' (use whatever term you like best) the lower the likelihood that the effort will succeed, long term, in any meaningful way.
There was a lot editorial flying around ZH a couple years ago that meant to draw attention to an inverse relationship between cetntralization and redundancy -- and by extension that redundancy is not at all a 'bad thing' when it comes to any sort of complex, dynamical system.
I found these articles to be thought-provoking, giving me a what I believe is a broader way of thinking about questions of centralized vs decentralized.
This happened right in my neck of the woods. Made it easy to start discussions on the intrusiveness of governments.
When I was a kid I ran a landscaping company. Every spring I'd drive around and stuff fliers in every mailbox within miles of my house (hundreds). Eventually, the Post Master called me in and threatened me with federal stuff that was plenty scary for a teenager. You're not allowed to put stuff inside a mail box without paying postage, apparently. Even if you do it yourself.
But they never said anything about putting stuff on the OUTSIDE of the mailbox. So I started tucking them between the mailbox and the little flag on the side of the mail box. Never a complaint after that.
Oh, and I never had a business license or insurance or paid taxes. I ran that business "naked as a jay bird" from a legal perspective. FOR 10 YEARS!
That was the best 10 working years of my life. I paid for a lot of my college expenses with the money and still had plenty of "party money". Fuck the government. They need us, not the other way around.
What you say goes totally against the wishes of the COLLECTIVE. According to the precepts of Agenda 21, your venture is TOTALLY UNSUSTAINABLE. I mean, your lawnmower alone is probably releasing VAST AMOUNTS OF CARBON DIOXIDE. At very least, I hope you paid your carbon tax and separated out your compost and kitchen scraps!
You probably had more take-home pay back then compared to now.
So when to the mass work stoppages begin?
This happened right in my neck of the woods. Made it easy to start discussions on the intrusiveness of governments.
If Internet Explorer can be given away for free, then snow shoveling should be free too. /sarc
Yeah but these kids actually work!!!
If they weren't terrorists before, they are well on their way to becoming them now....
That is the intent.
You must look at it from the perspective of the Local Government...
For every walk that these kids shoveled was a walk where the Township could not collect a fine.
The Government hates competition and these kids were undercutting potential projected revenue from fines levied.
The bottom line is about the buck and whom will collect them.
This is the reason why that behemoth Governments do not work.
This is also DEMONSTRATIVE THAT LOCALIZED GOVERNMENT WILL ALSO NOT WORK.
Shoot the politicians. Bomb them into oblivion. There are no solutions as the entire system has been corrupted from the core.
Wish more 'folks' would get this as There is NO Peaceful Solution left at this point, Fight or be a Slave, your choice,
There is no violent solution either.
What? Overthrow this and allow something worse to take its place?
The best option is to OPT OUT. Become as geographically isolated from this as possible.
If you choose arms then you will give them the excuse to become even more draconian.
There are NO SOLUTIONS. There are only outcomes but you can minimize your involvement.
I am not writing that you shall not protect yourself or your interests from aggression.
But offensive moves serve their interests. They want revolt. It works to their goals.
Windoze 10 is even going to be "free." The apps however, will be another matter.
Plus free medical care, education and fitness facilities.
If they were shovelling for free a team of lawyers from the company that already paid-off the mayor to have the exclusive shovelling rights would make them wish that the cops had just shot them.
Nobody gets it for free.
Well there's two things you can't complete with, insanity, and free.
Regulations are perfect vehicles to over ride the rule of law. So much easier to introduce with the consent of the majority mob, so much more conducive to global governance. Technocracy trumps sovereign law with a majority blessing and yelling for more regulation...this looks rather similar in Australia - no surprise, we need global regulations to order the chaos of the individuality of formerly sovereign nations.
I still think you need to pay for a permit, show proof of insurance and attend periodic State-mandated CE snow shoveling classes to keep your Free Service legal.
There is another side no one is discussing. Neighborhoods around me have had teens (aka gang members) ringing doorbells pretending to be young entrepreneurs. If no one answered, their business was to clean out the house.
Camera's are everywhere and the jails are full.
SUGAR LAND, TX (KTRK) --The city of Sugar Land is significantly expanding its use of cameras to help catch criminals.
Soon, if you drive through the city, there's a good chance police will have a picture of your license plate on file, whether you've committed a crime or not.
http://abc13.com/news/sugar-land-to-install-license-plate-recognition-ca...
Response to the soaring assaults on Chinese-Americans there by thugs who know they carry lots of cashola. What's this welt coming to?
<< ... ringing doorbells pretending to be young entrepreneurs. If no one answered, their business was to clean out the house. >>
Solid business model; when can i start !
Here it is a criminal offense to let your registration lapse, fail to get your car inspected, or to violate arbitrary speed limits.
The future? Welcome to it.
America? FUCK YEAH!
Once again, just because 5% (or whatever) of the population MAY break a law, we need regulations criminalizing the non-criminal behavior of the other 95%.
My won't people like you be shocked when your favorite things are all outlawed because less than 5% of the population MIGHT become sick or MIGHT abuse it.
I hate this place more everyday. Rationalizations like yours is why.
You CANNOT be legislated into security.
You CANNOT legislate away stupidity either.
Guess we are willing to try.
Wonder where your heirs will work? Hopefully the Solyent factory will still have openings for people shovelers with PhDs.
there i was sitting on the hopper cleaning my gun, when the door bell rang couldn't answer it, by the time i wiped off, one or the other, i hear the door crash open..
Somehow, Simon's little story post may be a watershed item for me.
Today I find myself actively hoping that Modern Urban Amurican Society collapses quickly and completely. Whereas before, I just didn't give a shit either way.
Maybe that story I saw yesterday about an entire brood of home-schooled children being taken from their parents by Arkansas "Child Protective Services" was the set up.
You can now color me "actively hostile".
Holy crap, I had to look it up. They removed the kids due to a non-FDA approved mineral supplement in the house that the father used to purify water for the garden.
In England we used to have 'bob-a-job' for cub scouts to go around the neighbourhood cleaning cars, yards and houses for a few pence to support the local group.
No cancelled due to people who sue the cub scouts if anything gets damaged.
Now if you are late to school the parents are reported to the council. Snoops can report you if they think you are not bringing up your kids in line with their views on the world.
The sooner this modern society of lawyers, government and banker thieves getting involved in what should be local community issues the better

It is why I left ZH quite some time ago ? 67 up signs for such moronic diatribefrom MDB ?
nott just MDB but the 67 that agreed with him ? WTF ? the insanity has permeated everything and everywhere ! Soon I will be back outside on horseback as the weather changes a bit for some fresh air and no such garbage intrusions to even consider !
I will be writing a new page at my site about what America actually needs and much of it will be from a horseback view/perpsective on 125,000 thousand plus acres of wild lands ! so some serious clear points of view from reality based perspective with no such bullshit at all ! HA HA HA !
anybody that thinks more government rules.regulautions are a good thing deserves a serious god old fashioned ass whoopin ! Most here at ZH are NOT capable of sucjh but I am ! Mostly just a bunch of fat , lazy, pussies ! QWake up assholes.
they are not agreeing with him
they are uparrowing the comedy(I didn't vote any eitherway)
btw, did you notice this one has a little _ on the name? hint hint...
or just take a chill pill, step back, and read it again...
..and get a good laugh.
Hell I uparrowed it...because I disagree with everything he wrote.
When it is so outrageous that it cannot be serious then you can reasonably conclude that it is not serious.
(They have not been around here much if they are reading him as serious.)
actually I have been gone since before you were here most likely ? but whos counting ?
MDB writes satire.
You probably took Jonathon Swift's, "A Modest Proposal" literally too.
the wisdom of ZH , Hey ? and just what is accompished ? Most competely missed my point although just a bit tongue in cheek, but not much at all.
I relish being considered a crazy in a crazy society.
For years I have said, in order to be sane in an insane society one needs to be insane.
is there any question we live in insanity ? a sort of controlled insanity .
Liberalism - if you don't support big governement, your a tea party terroist. How dare these young men try to start a business and not file thier papers so the government can take its fair share!
Sigh...
"...so the government can take its fair share!"
so the mob can take its vig!
More accurate, no?
God, I LOVE your posts! :D
Indeed, MDB's hit the nail on the head again, but he forgot to mention how these teens were taking the work away from a working man who is probably trying to support a family, or at least the alimony payments, and also that they're undercutting him, and the market, harming everyone and building unrealistic expectations of deflated prices for services in the minds of home owners, and probably providing a far inferior service as well. The truth is you always get what you pay for, and if you want the job done properly you should use an accredited, registered approved professional, and pay a lot more for a better job. The police really should have gone after these guys here, and made an example of them, so others are not tempted to take on such selfish and anti-social initiatives.
The new Community College Degree: Advanced Snow Shoveling!
$5 says they train them on a simulator.
I guess that quality control was on a ciggerete break when I was at the market to purchase a pound of bacon and between the bacon and the wrapping was a hair about 6 inches in length clearly visible
You must be the one in the family everyone talks about behind your back ..
MDB - you have a proven track record. So no one should read any other posts....
Nah, it never gets old.
The chowder heads that down vote MDB should probably leave.......if you don't catch the sarcasam at this point you're way to stiff.
What about the chowder heads who actually post scathing criticism of anyone who votes him up? Like the ones who left a long time ago...
~"The truth is that regulations enforce high standards in business,..."~
I should know better than to buy into your trolling, (because you really are a riot), but your thinking is faulty, and I'll prove it with just one question:
Will it never snow again in the neighborhood these kids were trying to work in?
If they do a crappy job, they don't get to shovel snow for money. What regulations are going to enforce quality of service?
Lastly, it's been a while since I've seen anyone from Goldman Sachs, GM and Verizon out offering to shovel snow for folks for money. Maybe it's just my neighborhood, I don't know.
Uh.. Goldman and JP Morgan sell snow shovelling futures, and options on a snow accumulation index are coming as well. Perfect foir the teachers union retirement funds...
Not to mention hedging the downdrafts in GDP estimates
"The truth is that regulations enforce high standards in business, allowing only top quality companies such as Goldman Sachs, GM and Verizon to serve Americans. Regulations are quality controls - they ensure that consumers get nothing but the best" That is just comedy gold. it is so good to see you back.
Excellent satire, fucking die to the 23 morons who gave you a down arrow.
Back on your game, MDB! You really oughta run for public office.
YA Right, Look at the recalls from gm in the past few years.
Now how is it that GM cannot make an ignition switch after making them for nearly 100 years?
Are they driving the quality out for extra profit?
Or do they even care about the quality?
Didn't the CEO know about the faulty switches before they were forced to recall them and let them pass.
Or is it because the wages & benifits and CEO/Boardmember salaries and benefits have raped the companies profits for so ong that this is what's left.
No wonder manufacturing has gone overseas.
Unions play a major role in this.
I'm surprised you got so many thumbs down. Talk about a bunch of lemmings who probably didn't bother to read your post.
It still amazes me that ppl like you can't see that MDB is making fun of you.
He/She already knows you're an idiot who will draw "facts" from the mainstream and spew forth this propaganda.
GM has not given the first flying fuck about 'quality' since the 1960's
And you're too stupid to know why.
Pay attention son. To do otherwise can be fatal.
Hey MDB, Wouldn't be better just to buy a service that tells you the innovative companies are and who builds lemons?
Wouldn't that widdle down the non-proformers?...
....wow..wait a minute.............my head is starting to spin.....I am having visions of...
...free choice....caveat epmtor....darwinism....individualism.......no government...innovations.....
...what a concept! My mind reels at the possibilities.............Where I travel, there are no roads.................
The USA...the land where nothing is allowed.
It's high time for people doing perfectly lawful activities to tell our "betters" to kindly fuck off and maybe go find some real crime to stop.
MDB is correct, as always.
additionally, there is the risk of illegal activity: if they charge $10 to shovel someone's driveway, and they take 2 hours to do it, then they are only making $5/hr, which is a violation of federal minimum wage laws.
i don't want illegal activity to be going on, in my driveway - do you?
um...people...MDB is being sarcastic...
MillionDollar I need my daily laugh and you provided it. GM provided us with quality ignition switches, Ford with Explorers that roll over, and fueled Goldman Sachs with tax payer bailouts so they can migrate their downright criminal execs over to keep the US treasury staffed at the top level. Regulations are a tool to prevent open market competition. Just look how good regulation keeps the markets honest, and guys like John Corzine off the street (sarc.)
You forgot the /sarcasm at the end.
Boy, that's a disturbing number of downvotes there. I thought people around here were smarter than that.
You've outdone yourself. Fucking hilarious! Stop it -- you're killing me. </no sarc>
Co worker of mine: ~$20/hr. 27. Decent for a millenial with HS diploma right? Girlfriend, works fast food. One kid his, one kid another man's.
Classified as an UNMARRIED single mother. Two kids & two dads so no questions asked. EBT, fucking CASH allowance from the state, and free healthcare for the kids.
Free house inherited from the guy's father, no mortgage, no rent.
You'd think they could make ends meet right? Nope: alcohol, cigarettes, rims, nfl jerseys, movie a week, restaurant twice a week...you name it they'll spend on it.
Trash breeding more trash.
I'm also personally glad that we no longer have child-labor in the 21st century. Thanks to the efforts of political activists, kids are now free to study and learn about the world at top quality colleges, and then get a corporate job at a top company or in government. Instead of emerging as burned out and exhausted victims of child-labor, young adults are now entering the economy bright, eager, educated and ready to make a difference.
LOL. God damn MDB I actually have a tear in my eye reading the canned excrement with which you so reliably efface the boards. Makes me realize it has to be prepared in advance and you or the bot you are just pull the right canned phrases for any given situation. I really do think you are an expert system crafted by Kurzweil or one of his minions.
In any event in the fullness of time you will learn that the Government of the United States is the enemy of the United States and that the locals are just as bad, though at least they can argue that they actually have the police powers to abuse any way they see fit and you can fucking move somewhere else if you dont like it.
MDB is apparently human, someone figured it out and exposed him on ZH a couple years back.
And BTW, wrt "efface", I don't think that means what you think it means.
I am Chumbawamba.
Also a goldbug, which he admitted once,prolly drunk.
He actually went out of character, dropped his online persona, and became real?
Wow.
I think that he might be one of the Tylers actually...shilling...making for some good dialouge...
But he is entertaining and I look forward to his posts.
Now where is Liberal???
Where is Boris Alotovkrap? I miss that one.
But he is entertaining and I look forward to his posts."
Roger that.
yes you are right. smear would have been a better choice or some synonym thereof
also, as astroloungers pointed out is MDB really just super sarcasm? I mean it has to be. never mind. It must be
It's pure sarcasm, and fairly subtle. A true progressive libtard would buy it at face value, nodding in agreement, and not realize that he/she is being viciously mocked. That's what makes it so funny. Try reading his blog sometime. It's comedy gold.
It's accredited!

You just don't get it, do you?
Education in this country sucks, Plus if want to buy anything you have to do their homework or you will buy a defective product that is advertized as the best, no industry is absolved from this trend and I proved they were not.
That was a good one! Thanks, MDB!
Sadly, businesses are still suffering because the cream of the crop, as always, rises toward government jobs.
OK MDB, I've come to the conclusion that you are not human. I'm thinking you are an Archon or maybe a some reptile.... even a govt shill can't be that full of shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib_5nnWbb_4
MDB, your sarcasm is delicious! :-) :-) :-)
It's simple really, Simon and peeps. It's about conditioning the sheep and reinforcing the mindset (Jedi Mind Trick) as to "WHO'S IN CHARGE: THE ELITE"
The minute people do not challenge it openly and strongly, it reinforces their Jedi Mind Trick.
yeah forget any grunt work in joisey u need to find jobs where u can shut down bridges and control traffic flows, they are the power positions in that state
You can get big hugs if your a dallas cowboys fan as well
Sounds like those gov-statists are shoveling more B.S. than those two teenagers could ever shovel in snow...
No snow shovel ready jerbs?!
if they were 2 mexicans shoveling snow, the white folks would have not even given it a second glance...but a couple white kids and we got serious threats. I bet a further investigation would probably lead to a local landscaper/contracter that was just marking his territory
The 'Mafia' probably called the cops in the first place so that the teenagers would not appropriate market share for snow removal
which the Mafia typically controlls all over New York City, BuckO.
The American way is the way of the Mafia and always has been
since the Mob took over BIG government and the entire USA Ponzi.
Hell, even Ponzi was a Mobster. Al Capone is as American as apple pie and baseball IMHO.
It's New Jersey, liberalville, they regulate everything that moves along with NY, IL, and CA.
Saw a kid on my street shovelling driveways for money, guess we forgot to call the police? Should've nailed that kid! He should be doing drugs and running with gangs instead.

Why didin't they just go ahead and ignore the "cops"? If these teens were white, the cops won't shoot them. /s
They were probably shiffty looking nigs.
Some journalist should ask Chris Christie about this at a news conference, get his take on it since he aspires to be emperor of the US and all.
on Charles Bukowski's tombstone are two wise words:
Don't Try.
"Doesn't everyone know you gotta be tribe to stay in business?"
there fixed it for ya filthy dog goy
Go across the river to Manhattan and steal from people legally (or don't go to jail if you do it illegally). Moral of the story? There are no morals anymore.
What do you expect from that parasite of a commie state called "The Peoples Republic Of New Jersey". Same across the river in New Yawk.
The point is that we live in the "Permission Surveillance State". Name anything outside the walls of your home that you can do without government permission and a thousand pages of regulations?
You need authorizations, licenses, certifications, documentation, passports, proof of insurance, tax receipts, Form 1099, etc. documents that say the government has reviewed your activity and approved it.
But they would never look inside your house...
Oh wait.
I should hope the police took what moneys they had under civil asset forfeiture since they are operating an illegal, unregistered, unincorporated, tax-free business. Beyond that I hope the IRS conducts a full audit and hits them with back taxes for all possible prior operation of the illicit enterprise.
This is America, people, not 'Nam. There are rules!
Why wern't these free market terrorists choked to death ?
They could not have been illegals becuase then the cops wold have had to let them go.
And why didn't they shoot their dogs? 'Murica!
Damn straight, rum_runner ! Give em hell !

Call it for what it is a permit is a tax to work but could be worse they might need qualifications to wield a deadly shovel that would cost also.
Here's a Darwin Award winner who decided to do exactly what you just implied.
(Hint to criminal morons: If you're going to attack a cop with a shovel, try using one that isn't made of plastic.)

I met a man today at the Pawn Shop below my place. I was proud to shake that man's hand. His name was Paul.
Paul is an American Indian, probably Navajo, from his appearance. He even has served in the US Military.
Anyway he was arrested in Maricopa County, Arizona, for being an "Illegal Alien".
Since I attended University at Northern AZ University we had quite a few Navajo attending NAU. They were here before the European.
But it seems that Sheriff Joe Arpaio, while Paul was wrongfully and illegally incarcerated for being an "Illegal Alien" cannot differentiate American Indians from "Illegal Aliens".
So Sherrif Joe got in Paul's face and began to rant at him about how he could be so bold as to invade the land where Arpaio's grandfather lived.
Well Paul just had enough of that shit and smashed Joe's face. He broke bones. Of course he was beaten by the Sheriff Joe's deputies.
At least Sheriff Joe did not press charges as he deserved to get his face smashed for his big mouth. (Actually I do respect that. I really did not expect that from Joe Arpaio.)
And this American Indian, this Navajo, well...He is going to get some really big bucks. I hope that he sues Maricopa County into bankruptcy.
Yes. I was proud to shake that man's hand.
Strayer College has a course which will teach you how to become a "Housewives of New Jersey Shore" contestant...
Sign on the dotted line... [Obama.gov will approve the loan].
What could possibly go wrong?
Ought to be good for about $50,000.00 in student loans!
centrally planned entrepreneurism OR
oligarchic, (shadow) nation-state capitalism (status quo)
Wouldn't be surprised if one of the cops' relatives was in the plowing business.
I call BS. There is no license required for kids with snow shovels. Anywhere in the Country.
You cannot go door to door soliciting without a permit. It is that way in many towns in America.
the way the local paper reported it, kids under 18 get a free ride adults 18 or over need the permit
They can't do that without a proper license and the state certification. Starting this year, the new and free 2-year public universities will offer a 2-year snow-shoveling curriculum with the proper license and the graduation certificate. Thank you for the opportunity to clear ut this issue.
Under water snow shovelling.
This shows us how fucked the US future is. RIP America.
They might be able to open a snow cone stand (with the proper permit).
In a normal uncrazy US, the police would have ripped the complainer a new one.
Door-to-door posing as a service person looking for work (snow shoveling, lawn mowing, gutter cleaning, painting, whatever) is perfect cover for ringing a doorbell to see if someone is home or not. If the residents are home, they size up the situation and either home invade or offer their cover services. If the residents are not home and no dog is barking or other deterent is present, they consider breaking in. Boom.
It's also perfect cover for a fascist, out-of-control, dictatorial government to convince you to relinquish what few Constitutional Rights that you might have left.
Amerikans have become frightened little mice who freak out if they unexpectedly catch sight of their own shadows. A bunch of paranoid weaklings who call 911 if their neighbor farts too loud.
This country deserves what's coming.
But...but...but...If you SEE something, SAY something! ;)
Hope they shovel after they leave to remove traces of their footprints.
New Jersey police would rather kids break the law ,it gives them work so as to justify their unholy pay ,pension and benifits ....
so they found a new way to criminalise kids
one of many news ways - don't leave your dog in the car for 1 min is summer; don't let your kids wonder too far on the beach while reading a book; explain why you need a little cash from your bank.........
Thats Jersey. You'd better grease some palms if you want to start something there. Ill bet if they claimed they hurt their backs they could get disability...
Oh, and if you try to leave Jersey...there's an exit tax. They've got you coming and going...ba da boom.
There is a HUGE overhead of regulations, laws, taxes, fees, and permits required in the US to do anything. And each step of the way costs the productive worker more money as that level of non-productive worker collects the money needed to pay their own wages. The losers in this are the old folks who would otherwise be trapped in their homes until the snow melts.
The kids need to change their strategy if they want to prosper in today's world: Go to a doctor and complain you hurt your back and neck while shovelling snow. Then go apply for Medicare Disability. Live a lifetime in your parent's basement drinking Pepsi and playing Xbox!
>>>>Go to a doctor and complain you hurt your back and neck while shovelling snow. Then go apply for Medicare Disability.
The above info should be widely publicized, wherever young people and disability attorneys congregate. A "disability" allows the victim-patient-client to enter the Medicare system, after a two year wait, and thereby achieve lifetime exemption from the purchase of Obamacare "insurance". In addition to freedom from other nuisances, such as having to "earn a living".
And believe me, I've met enough "disabled" cops trailering their jetskis to the beach to know that staying in your parents' basement will NOT be a requirement.
