Yeah, this is no news, this is snitching on a 5 year old ‘entrepeneur'.
I'm sure they totally did all of the non-profit paperwork for a lemonade stand.
How is this uplifting? This is more depressing than anything. A child has to raise money for victims of the fire? How disgraceful of America. The government should be giving out money to the victims and kid should be able to enjoy their childhood.
Orphan crushing machine
is there an orphan grinding community we can hashtag on lemmy yet?
Joyless loser
There's zero joy in one of the richest countries of the world not helping victims of a fire while a singular child has to raise money for them, there's no logic either.
The US is awful.
The real issue: how do you even screw up that badly at writing an ampersand?
Seriously ⅋ to think they screwed up three times!
