This is terribly sad and I'm sorry for your family and your neighbors. You have somehow trained yourself to see your locality through the abstractions used by organizations that reside elsewhere. Instead of seeing the child, the water, the table, the lemons and the sugar you see an indistinguishable member of a data set called "street vendors" or "foodservice" or "business establishments." Ironically the ability to use one's senses to observe one's surroundings helps one to create better laws, so your interest in regulating lemonade stands helps in a small way (as you only vote and talk to people) to create poorer regulation.

Strangely enough, I'm not seeing them either. Edit: that's the picture Forbes used to illustrate the article. It's not my fault it doesn't match up with the described ideal.
