This might surprise you, but you can give food to homeless people right now. You don't need to wait for some peach-related mishap in California to do so.
Why would that surprise them? What a weirdly confrontational response to someone you ostensibly agree with...
You can't truly be a good person, unless you're smug and condescending about it.
Wait, i don't understand, in what way would giving food to homeless people help the shareholders? Are the shareholders homeless?
This guy gets it.
Aw, gosh, thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't even considered your point among my disdain for huge amounts of food going to waste that could otherwise have helped people. You can pat yourself on the virtue signal now.
