sure... that's why I bought all those tamales... totally selfless

Right? It wasn't cause they're tasty AF.

You can't eat them all. Give them away. Socialized tamales is one big step to socialized housing and healthcare. Do it!

Anyone running on a "Socialized Tamales" platform would eternally have my vote

Tamales to 'em all, eh?

Read the article. The second sentence. That's what they're doing.

Read the article? You crazy!

You could just immediately hand them out to unhoused folks to do two acts of kindness in one.

Wouldn't that result in the original owners being put out of business permanently... Possibly creating a cartel?

You'll need someone to audit the carts, and a mechanism of checks and balances so that person can't be paid off.

the largest amount of tamales i have purchased from a trunk at one time is ~20 (its usually out of a trunk instead of a cart around me). they were delicious, but 20 was a bad decision. share the wealth : D

As a latina, tamales are made to be shared. 20 is a good amount. Share the love
