Kind of reminds me of when my dad wanted to take a team of draft horses and a stagecoach to the local fair and give free rides around the grounds- thought it would be nice for seniors to get around the grounds and for kids without money to pay for rides. Well, you can imagine how that went over- first, he had to have a million dollars liability insurance, plus a bond in favor of the fair- and no one was going to be giving away anything, as it would unfairly compete with the concessionaires. He would have to submit his proposal for a reasonable amount to charge (less the required percentage of vigorish to the Fair, of course)- and the board would rule on what his price would have to be. His response to them was, "Well, I guess a guy can't just do something nice for the public anymore, if he wants to?" He never really got a response to his question. Needless to say, there were no stagecoach rides at the fair.
