Reply to Boston could be first municipality to require stores, restaurants, and hotels to donate leftover food by bostondotcom
This could either be good, or it could be costly and open the businesses up to legal liability.
If the government makes it a law, it's almost certainly going to be the latter.

End-of-life decisions are medical decisions. You don’t get to pretend that they’re not. And since you are not interested in arguing like an adult, I’m about finished wasting my time.

Don't tons of store and restaurants in Europe do this?

No.
>It IS a right, and you do not get to strip someone of their dignity because you don’t agree with their medical choices.
I don't think it's a medical choice, I think it's killing oneself. The burden of proof is on the one making the claim. If you're saying it's a right, you need to show that it's a right.

First of all, this particular WPA project wasn't silly, it was an effort to inform the American public of the poverty in the Midwest brought about by the Dust Bowl and therefore show the importance of the New Deal, which is why it is different from the Jerusalem of hipsters putting the TMNT on a manhole cover.
Second of all, the WPA was an effort to get every able-bodied American to work to revive the faltering American economy which, I reiterate, is quite distinct from a piece of government-sanctioned fanart.

Sentimentalizing human life is connected to being anti-choice and if you can’t see how, you’re absolutely anti-choice.
And the fact that you think that there would be no psych eval or screening process in place boggles my mind. What, did you think doctors would just blow terminally ill patients’ heads off with shotguns if they decided to die with dignity?

So both you and the conservatives will take refuge in being wrong to own the opponent? Sounds anti-intellectual to me.

So many municipalities are afraid to try anything new but happy to be copycats. This could be the start of something big!

In order for your argument to make any sense you would HAVE to be talking about at-risk groups, because otherwise you WOULD be talking out of your ass and there’d be no point continuing this.
And “No it isn’t” is something a child says when they’ve lost the argument. It IS a right, and you do not get to strip someone of their dignity because you don’t agree with their medical choices.

If conservatives are going to constantly try to appeal to emotion, it’s time to play to their level.
A microscopic embryo is not special, it is not a person, it is a parasitic clump of cells.

Now let’s go through the dozens of WPA projects that seem a little silly today.

I thought 95 went East/South, then changed to North/West, then Sourth/Weast.

The kids will be better served by cool art than whatever 20 grand worth of education and food will do.

You do realize that you cannot be sued over any food donation made in good faith, right?
