so I share with you this very interesting story
I'll josh is real reporting over the Center for American Progress his blog
Think Progress
who is our walking down the
down the street near Washington DC e couple 23 days ago was beautiful some
summer afternoon in
kinda cool summer afternoon in fact seventies
beautiful day and it was lunchtime
and there were these trucks lined up
along whatever Street we were on things are on 15th and K or something like that
it belongs Park
and wanna had falafels and one had Indian food in one had
jerky jerk European food in there was like you know
680 these trucks and the smell was great
and the menus look grey one said gluten-free on and I'm like oh this is
really cool
now there's a bit of a war brewing here in DC in this is happening all over the
country
between the brick-and-mortar restaurants particularly those the neighborhoods
where these trucks park
that used to serve the lunch traffic and these trucks
and then there's also the concern that
the people who are driving the trucks the people who are serving the food
it's been very unregulated
and so you don't know if that food was actually washed you don't know if there
were maggots in the me
you don't know if if the if the oils and fats that are used are
are the you know if recycled fry in oil or is it you know high-quality olive oil
you have no idea
although I think typically you can guess is the cheapest junk they can find
and it's the oldest vegetables if it's going to be cooked so nobody can see it
anyway
and you know and then they put so much salt under the covers up the taste serve
the have the bad stuff which is not to trash the trucks I'm sure some are just
do a great stuff but he
those are the concerns right on the one hand you get the people who are these
herbs small entrepreneurial ventures
which I salute on the other hand you could have food poisoning
so there's this discussion going on but by and large young people the
Millennials
love the trucks right because hey it's cheap food
and it's a wide variety of food is that cool
and it is so David and Charles Koch
who you know have an oil
empire and they have a paper empire and pay making paper is a very
produce a lot of water pollution and
a you know georgia-pacific in all this and Koch Industries Co coil
and it but you know they're the
big funders have these efforts to
be the libertarian stop big-government
deregulate things so you can free capitalism of course if you deregulate
things then they can throw more poison into the air
at their well refineries and they can throw more poison the water at their
paper plants they can make more profit so they're trying to get as many
Millennials as many young people
signed up on their Facebook pages and you know trying to get their information
get the email addresses get their physical addresses get their phone
numbers so that they can text about men
and get get them friended on Facebook dollar stuff
so they have created this group called generation
opportunity and they get all these different
front group run by operation opportunity
that are based on things you ask you to like things you know they've got
one called Millennials who love freedom and
I another one a generation opportunity is doing
where to go here
I'm trying to get together the worst here
2222 are on a petition okay well though the latest
oh here we are one about being American
they create a Facebook pages for being American like this paper his Facebook
page please
selig they capture your stuff another one but Constitution
like Constitution yeah give us your information another one
gas prices are too damn high and gas prices are too damn high
like this one and these are the things a generation opportunity was doing
and now they've got a new one free the food trucks
that's what's called free the food trucks the subtitle is together we can
free the food truck sign the petition now
a generation opportunity petition a free the food trucks
all sounds really cool right well what it is as if you're in your twenties
or your late teens the Koch brothers what your information so they can then
send you
anti Barack Obama anti-government anti Obama care and in particular
anti-regulation
messages
incredible have you been sucked in by this
for the food trucks have
do you know anybody who has
