tschu Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 The next part in tschu's continuing series on nearly incomprehensible stupidity comes from New York, recently ravaged by hurricane (superstorm, w/e) Sandy. Mayor Michael Bloomberg has done something so mind-boggling that blood may shoot out your nose just thinking about it. He has banned the donation of food to homeless shelters. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/03/19/bloomberg-strikes-again-nyc-bans-food-donations-to-the-homeless/ The reason: Because the city can't assess the salt and fiber content of some of the food donated. That's right, we can't give the starving people this food because it might have a few too many milligrams of sodium! The horror! I'm totally down for food being as safe as possible at these places, but seriously...come on. And this comes from a guy who was voted to lead the greatest city in the country. Shaking my head, Bloomberg, shaking my head. 1 Quote Link to comment
