Glad you've never been carjacked.
Has there been an outbreak of carjackings by flower vendors at intersections?
Have you never seen groups of flower and water vendors? You may enjoy it when they all get near your car in the evening in a city. I don't. You don't know their history or their intentions.

I have never heard of a crime BY the flower sellers - there was an awful news report about a woman selling flowers who was grabbed and abducted in Silver Spring while in the road selling flowers. I don't know what happened to her

? what does carjacking have to do with flower sellers?
I think ^PP is stating that flower sellers take a much lower priority than carjackings, no?

if Trump can skip on paying millions in taxes for the past 10 years, I'm ok with a few street flower sellers who are poor not paying any taxes.
That’s why I cheat on my taxes as well.
? because Trump did it? I hope you have a lot of $$ to hire lawyers if you get caught, though.

And don’t forget those lazy firefighters with that stinky boot shoved in your face.
Oh please enlighten us as to what fireman are selling illegally at intersections and not paying taxes on. I’ll wait.
Neither you nor I have any way to know if any given firefighter or flower vendor is properly paying taxes. You are speculating just to justify your hate towards poor people. It is shameful for you to baselessly attack those with far less wealth than you have.
Because i’m suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure illegal flower vendors operating an unlicensed business alllllllllways file appropriate quarterly taxes for all of their cash transactions with a valid social security number.
All you have is snark rather than actual facts. It’s just a plain fact that you have no basis upon which to make assumptions about anybody else's tax status no matter how many emoticons you use. I could just as easily point at you and claim that it’s equally obvious that you do not file your taxes appropriately yourself.
Sure, you could try to make that claim, but it’d be dubious given that I’m a citizen who works for a real company with an actual payroll department that automatically takes out taxes from paychecks.
Totally comparable to an illegal under the table job involving cash transactions only. You’re a delusional clown.
Oh so now you’ve also developed the supernatural power of knowing the immigration status of random strangers!! Amazing!
Let me explain another fact of life. If you don’t have actual knowledge of a persons immigration status and you instead make assumptions based on class and ethnicity then you are actually just another run-of-the-mill bigot rather than a psychic prodigy.
What is amazing is how stupid (or obtuse) you are PP, if you actually believe all flower vendors have their immigration status perfectly in order and are not removable.
Here’s a clue: most of them are in the US unlawfully, after crossing our open southern border, and are present without authorization.
NP, btw.

You don't think they'd rather be doing literally anything else? You're a monster. A ghoul. I hope you miss every green light from now until you die.
It is not about a 30 second wait.
ok Phillis, how much time are we quibbling about then?
I'm saying it is not about the wait when flower and water vendors approach your car. It's about having people approach your car that you didn't request. It can be a safety factor.
Libertarian
How do you figure? Which law requires people to ask your permission before approaching your car on a public road?
The libertarian position is to let these guys do their thing. No need to follow government rules or regulations.
Those of you supporting this have found a new libertarian cause and can take a break from complaining that your girlfriend has to sit in a car seat.
Are you the poster who said that you feel threatened when people approach your car?
No. Just surprised so many on the far right post here.
