Discussion: One Man Is Standing Up To Rhode Island Beach Town's Shave Ice Ban

Discussion for article #225615

They were considered the weird ones in colonial times. Basically if you got kicked out of the other northern colonies, you moved to Weird Island.

It’s the American way. Someone comes up with a way to compete effectively with local businesses, local businesses use their political muscle to pass ordinance against new business to close them down. It’s called the free market.
