The moonies. Apparently they don’t sell flowers anymore.

Ah, the Moonies. They bought one of my grandfather's houses outside of Chicago in the mid ninties.

Y’all know they sell flowers at metro stations before weekend/holidays too, right?

They steal them out of people’s gardens. I used to have a beautiful, expansive rose garden, but I pulled them all up after catching the roadside flower vendors cutting the blooms off for the millionth time.

What about the people that park their truck on the side of river road and sell fruit out the back? What's up with them? Also mules?

I don’t think that’s true. You see them with many bunches that are all the same - don’t think that’s coming from cemeteries.

What are all of these naive questions. Voters in this area vote for lenient immigration policies, sanctuary cities and towns, and roll out the red carpet for illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants cannot get jobs that require I9 and often have minimal amounts of education, so how do you expect them to feed themselves and make money? They work under the table selling flowers, fruit out of the back of the trucks, stand around the parking lots of home Depot looking for day labor, etc. Etc. Are y'all really this naive? You voted for it, now you get it. There are millions up on millions of people living in this country illegally who are working a black market economy outside of the govt's radar. They work all cash jobs to avoid paying taxes, and also because they have problems getting bank accounts and social security numbers unless they commit identity fraud. It's a gigantic black market economy dodging appropriate income taxes.

Are you new here? It's a street hustle.

I hate when people beg in the median, I hate when people sell water or flowers in the median, but I ESPECIALLY HATE when people make children stand in the median to raise money for sports or whatever.

I hate it, but tragically I am not King. So I have to just make sure I don’t hit anyone, keep my windows up, and move on with life.

I'd rather them sell something than beg. Yes I've bought water and flowers. No I do not give out free money. But I will support a person standing in the rain or sun selling a product that I buy.

Selling flowers by the side of the road is part of the “walkability” code word scheme.

Lol talk about naive. Hello history recreationism.

Most undocumented people use ITIM numbers and pay taxes with that, others use SSN's from people that can't work and use their identity. They also pay taxes through sales and property tax.

Everybody has voted for this, blue states do not have a corner on the market for this. So do red states who need cheap labor on farms, in warehouses and restaurants.

If you want to hear what NON-MAGA republicans think of this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsmgPp_nlok

Blue states and red states have the same # of immigrants and most people republican and democrats believe that they need to work, they need to be educated and they need a path to citizenship. That is not a red/blue thing. Now MAGA, that's totally different.
