    Also, letting the homeless and working class forage for the fruit would be way too egalitarian and compassionate. Totally unacceptable!

      Ideally the homeless wouldn’t exist in this scenario, and sure, the public can grab the bottom 8’? The public really can’t be trusted to safely use ladders, so that options right out.

      I’m all for it, but realistically it’s not a feasible solution? It’s to costly, wheter it be to collect it and give to public safely, or to provide ladders and medical care for the people who inevitably fall.

          … a non profit relies on donations, needs volounteers, or other source of income, so it’s either paid through taxes like I mentioned, or through money in the end anyways…?

          Sure I guess that works? Whatever makes you feel better, but it’s still the same scenario in the end.

      Free food that drops out of the trees? Get the fuck outta here.
