you need a license, bad apples ruined that for people by causing environmental damage by catching rain water, again license in a lot of places, the last 2 ill need context for
you dont, you need a licenses to feed people. you just cant gather water at all in a lot of places.
the reason you cant gather water is because people have on many many many many occasions fucked up the environment around them for miles and miles by gathering so much rain water that nothing got into anything else and fucked the plants and fucked the soil which fucked everything else.
I don't know the water situation, but for the homeless some justifications (valid or not) are A) it lets them get handouts from people instead of being incentivized to go to a shelter where homelessness can be better addressed but requires more effort (eg. helping someone break a drug habit that's been keeping them homeless), B) well-meaning but poorly-trained people who don't know about food safety can make homeless people sick with their meals, C) if they can rely on the kindness of strangers, homeless people will stick around instead of going somewhere else and being some other city's problem, D) for the amount of money and effort it costs you to make a meal for the homeless, a charity organization could make several meals, so feeding the homeless by yourself is a waste of resources that could be multiplied if you volunteered at/donated to a charity organization. These are the most common arguments I've heard. I'll leave judgement to others as to how good the arguments are.
No but I mean legally. Guvem them free stuff and they getting used to it is more of a priciples thing. But legally maybe the food safety or in some states you need permits to hand out food? But the water, I can't come up with any legal concerns.
As a Florida resident, it’s a bad idea to collect rain water: mosquitos live off of rain water. So buckets of collected rain water become breeding grounds for those pesky critters
Ok. I can see this, I'm from Venezuela so Dengue was always an issue. However if it's sealed or if it is just collecting to then safely store it why is it illegal?
