It would be great if it could be a voluntary effort. Unfortunately, people SUCK when it comes to volunteerism.I could see it as a voluntary effort. My question is with how it'll be done. That's usually the problem with Progressive policies is that the implementation is poor. Going around and collecting from restaurants, groceries and such perfectly good food that would be tossed and will be used immediately? Yes, I can see that. Pretty much anything else is unworkable. Instead of forcing this, why not let businesses or whatever contribute for a tax write off or some other incentive, instead of doing it to avoid a penalty? After the jab and mask mandates, I'm starting to have a poor opinion of ANYTHING which is mandated.
The current proposed legislation appears to be required by previous legislation that was passed to address something seen as a problem. Thus works the bureaucracy.
