Someone tried to organize a street fair near me, did public outreach for months, and a week before the date a business owner a block away from the street fair contacted the city with a fake list of all the local businesses who said they hadn’t even known about this and it would destroy them, and the city didn’t issue the final permit. No event. (The list was known to be faked because some of the business owners listed were publicly supporting and advertising the event). So that’s the other problem with “just do something” - other people hate you and if you don’t already know the right people and how to be believed over the wrong people, you won’t get something done.
- inigyou 3mo agoSo how did your lawsuit go against him?
- lazyasciiart 3mo agoIs this a joke about how Americans sue over everything?
- inigyou 3mo agoNo? If someone does that to you, publishing a bunch of lies and defrauding the government to shut down your business, then suing them is the correct response.
- juliendorra 3mo agoSuing is very costly, takes year and is mentally draining. And in the end they wouldn’t probably not get much if any money, and may even loose or be dropped. So in this case I understand why they wouldn’t want to do it.
- inigyou 3mo agoMaybe you're thinking of a complicated case against a multinational corporation against an unclear law. This isn't that.
- lazyasciiart 3mo agoI live near the proposed event. That’s my entire connection.
