#^Florida man uses COVID stimulus to build garden, spread message of food independence - WMNF

Heâ€™s trying to share his produce with the neighborhood and teach others about food independence.

In some cities, if you try to grow food in your yard, they will slap you with fines until you stop.

For Utah:
According to Senate Bill 32 (2010), a person registered with the Division of Water Resources cannot store more than 2,500 gallons of rainwater. If unregistered, no more than two containers may be used, and the maximum capacity of any one container may not exceed 100 gallons (Utah Code Ann. Â§73-3-1.5)

Well, at least they can't arrest people for looking up during a rainstorm with their mouths open.

This reminds me of the old Donald Duck tale, "The Golden Helmet" by Carl Barks. In the story, Donald Duck and his nephews hunt for a Viking helmet that gives the possessor legal claim to North America. The helmet, an object of power, has the same effect on each of its successive owners: A cold glitter in their eyes betrays awakening greed and ambitions, as they become more ruthless, each of them in turn revealing the dreams of a would-be tyrant. Donald goes so far as to suggest charging for oxygen, with people wearing meters on their chests to keep track of how much they breathe, a sigh is even more costly than a normal breath. Maybe they read this in Utah too? ;-)
