The stupidity of our world

Hello,
The prison for having recovered food in the bins of the super markets!
http://www.rtbf.be/info/societe/detail_ ... id=6053723
Another stupidity, in Poland, a baker gave his "old breads to the poor: the VAT fell on him, and he had to close his shop, given the arrears to pay on the bread he gave ...
What world ... :?

I do not believe it !
Better and better !
Those who should go to jail are the supermarket managers who guarantee the waste of food!
I worked in a center leclerc, and I was scared of all that they could throw!
I myself have recovered stuff put in the trash, including a beautiful mountain bike aluminum suspended!
Just thrown because one or two screws of the front brake disc was running empty ...
He just replaced the wheel, and I have a brand new bike!
When I asked them why he did not give that noice instead of throwing it, it's as if I insulted them !!!
Hallucinating!

Not looking for: the responsible is Europe: hygiene, traceability, etc .... At least when you're flying in the container, they're not responsible if you're sick.

This event is not isolated: a few months ago, in Belgium always, a manager of Liedl was dismissed for serious misconduct for having distributed goods (very little: a few kilos of fruit) (here a union source, among the many sources of press: http://www.cne-gnc.be/index.php?m=&n=309) to the staff because they would fall out of date the next day (Sunday). the procedure being to send them back to the plant for them to be officially destroyed.

You also need to know that in Belgium, you do not have the right to remove goods from selective collections or to recover stuff at the container park: you would deprive the collector of his resale income.

Two other phenomena to pin on the stupidity of our excellences.

1) In Brussels, there is 2000 homeless

2) Minister Courard will order a study to understand why the number of students who benefit from the "insertion income" has tripled in a few years.

One of the common causes is very simple: we have enacted very strict standards for small housing, in particular to fight against sleep sellers and fictitious domiciliations. So, no more way to have a roof over your head for 150-175 euros. Hence the homeless and the students who "leave their homes" to be "without resources" because studies have become too expensive.

Hello,

this fact makes me think of that http://www.numerama.com/magazine/14992- ... vient.html
The garbage cans are full of treasures but it does not seem to everyone that there would even be stores that burst packaging before throwing in the trash with bleach or dishwashing liquid to be sure no one will live on their trash.
At least if people are starving rather than intoxicated it may be less simple to designate a culprit or may give better conscience.
A few months ago the TV seized freeganism in front of the scale of the phenomenon, by filming these people who queued at the exit of the bins, the world could finally be afraid to fall in this alternative of survival.
At the same time it is "monstrous" these people who take advantage of the trash cans for free while we are causing a scandal and that supermarkets are forbidden to sell repackages, if the thieves are robbed then there is no more. justice!

Well I'm a little bad language some banners have taken the opportunity to make their pub or their good heart and spin their remains to the association against hunger (which by the way help people who have the papers to justify their low income).

I liked this show if not for those who have half an hour to lose, a real lesson in life http://www.franceculture.com/player?p=r ... te-3586841
