I have always suspected that the target audience for the “Great Society” is not the poor. Let’s face it after fifty years on the dole what is left are the dregs of the dregs. We’re talking a population where a 70 IQ is considered really smart. Where the average suburban pet has mastered more social skills and has a larger vocabulary than the denizens of the inner city. These folks are incapable of grabbing a better life, because they can’t conceive of anything else. Drivebys, incarcerations, drug overdoses and car accidents are all features and not bugs. 

The real recipients of the Great Society are the bureaucrats who oversee the denizens of the ghetto, barrio and public housing. Just like the news stations get all excited when the aquifer drops, the bureaucrats get excited about the pool of welfare frauds to support the welfare bureaucracy. What if The One’s eight years was devoted to increasing the pool of deadbeats so that there can be a corresponding rise in bureaucrats?

It tradition for community members of Kansas City, Missouri. Since 1899, the event has attracted the most talented barbecue chefs from all corners of the state, who gather annually to show off their skills. With so many BBQ experts in one place, there tends to be a fair amount of leftover food once the festivities come to a close.

Hating to waste such a vast amount of quality barbecue, some of the event’s BBQ gurus got together and founded the charitable group, Kookers Kare. Partnering with the Harvesters Community Food Network, Kookers Kare has made a tradition of donating the leftover food to local homeless shelters at the end of each annual event.

This year, the two groups collected over 3,000 pounds of meat and 1,200 pounds of sides, all bound for a local nonprofit organization called Hope City, where it was to be served to over 3,000 homeless citizens in need.

State regulators stepped in and put a stop to that nonsense. They ordered all of the collected food destroyed, because it came from an unapproved source. I’m sure if each entrant had paid for a kitchen inspection everything would have been fine.

According to the article, Harvesters Community Food Network and Hope City are a nonprofit organizations plugged into free food distribution.  Kookers Kare are competition BBQ cooks competing on a national level. Excess competition ready meals, not sold or consumed during the competition are funneled into an existing distribution network already approved by the state. The food is good enough to compete or sell but not good enough to give away.

It appears that not all welfare cheats are getting a check. Some will take cash under the table.
