I planted, weeded, harvested and managed a 3/4 acre veggie garden at our neighboring small village United Ministries Center for 3 years. The first two years I had some volunteer help and had a broad spectrum of garden veggies which was a lot of work. The idea was we hoped to get enough donations from those visiting the resale store to at least buy the seed. That never happened. We hauled over 6,000 lbs. of fresh veggies through the store and could not get $200 in donations. The last year or 3rd year I planted the whole thing to sweet corn as that was lower cost and much less work. I can remember people with 40K SUVs sitting in the parking lot waiting for the corn to be brought in and take a couple dozen and drive off. They could not even help pick the stuff. I had some very low income families help in the garden but not any with nice vehicles.
I plant enough stuff in two gardens yet to give away some food items but that is my choice. We thought that this ministries garden would at least cover the seed and gas cost to work and rotor till the garden but it could not.
This is in a very rural area and not influenced by large metro centers.

Not all airports have TSA. Some do their own security. Unfortunately there's too many gutless wonders that let the TSA takeover. First they came for the Jews, but since I wasn't a Jew it wasn't my problem, Then they came for the....... repeat!

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich; a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan." All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the third test rolled around, the average was an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
To their great surprise, all failed and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
It could not be any simpler than that.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
