Expected police to forcefully shut her lemonade stand down for operating a business without a license and using child labour.

I'm wondering what is so great about living in america if only a small number of people actually experience the American Dream.

I can't deal with child cancer patients, probably one of the more depressing subjects to talk about or see IMO.

Welcome to America. Where a 7 year old has to get money from a lemonade stand to help fund for her surgeries.

Big Corp seething right now.

Every time one of these "heart warming" stories gets shared it just makes me more and more annoyed. It's not heart warming when a modern country exists that forces a child to do this to get medical attention they'd get "for free" in any other modern country.

Why do news outlets keep doing these stories as fluff pieces without any self-awareness of how distressing they actually are?

Yep, it's so heart-warming when children have to beg for money to not die. People who don't seem to see the horror in that just piss me off.

Your assuming they don't know how this is making you feel.

"7-year-old funds her own brain surgery with a lemonade stand" can make people re-evaluate America's healthcare system in a way that a report detailing the benefits of improving the healthcare can not.

I mean it is basically an Onion article, except for the fact it is real.

No one is claiming it is.
I can't actually read the article as it doesn't let people from Europe do so, but that almost always seems to be the theme of these types of articles I've found. If it's calling America's shitty healthcare out then it's not so bad.

They're claiming the actions of the people are what's heartwarming because of/in spite of the situation.
Then my original point remains. It's not heart warming people need to do that but a fucking disgrace.
