As the store’s proprietor explained during a press conference last night, the concept behind Dumb Starbucks was to wrap the store in the protective embrace of First Amendment law by casting the store as a “parody” and treating the coffee as “art”—thus giving Dumb Starbucks legal standing to use Starbucks’ branding and logo.

Fielder then had to cut the press conference short, as authorities from the L.A. health department were waiting to have a word with him. They apparently weren’t satisfied with Fielder’s argument that his store was an art gallery and thus didn’t need any health permits

Yeah... lets eliminate health codes and shite because restaurants totes wouldn't cut any sanitation corners to maximize profits.

I'm cool with that. i can cook at home
However, I didn't say we needed no health codes. I just said we need some deregulation. I just think we could cut away somethings.

There's a reason regulation is in place HBT. History has a sad pattern of repetition.

There's an epidemic in this country of cops shutting down little kids' lemonade stands because they don't have permits. The permits often are in excess of $50 a day.

That's not regulation. That's government taking "their" cut. Healthcodes are regulations, licenses are ways for the state to get a cut.

Red dots are lemonade stands that have been shut down by government/police. The number rises every year. Green are localities that have made statements/laws supporting child entrepreneur-ism.

I'm sure the little kids violated some health codes as well. the cops just heard some barks in the neighborhood and showed up first.

little motherfrickers need to learn to bribe the piggies. Cops just lookin for a cut of the action to look the other way

Look at all the ones in the northeast and California. That's why all their kids grow up to be communists

My favorite part

Fielder spoke to a sizable assembly of reporters outside the Dumb Starbucks storefront, telling the crowd that he had taken note of the “pushback” from Starbucks’ lawyers. He responded with a threat, stating that “if they keep the pressure up, they do risk losing me as a customer.”
