Samoyed 高三下 (2024/04/21): Though food trucks’ current popularity began with the Great Recession in 2008, food trucks have been around for decades, and their lineage goes back even further. During the first few decades of the 20th century, street vending was viewed as a legitimate business that provided work for a growing immigrant population. But as private stores became more popular, small-business owners and the business elite across the country saw ridding the streets of immigrant vendors as a way to modernize their cities. __11__ Dubbing vendors the “pushcart evil,” these established interests lobbied— often successfully—for increasingly restrictive regulations on street vending.
雖然食品卡車的當前流行始於2008年的大衰退,但食品卡車已存在了幾十年,它們的血脈更是可以追溯到更早以前。在20世紀初幾十年裡,街頭攤販被視為一個合法的行業,為不斷增長的移民人口提供了工作。但隨著私營店鋪變得越來越受歡迎,全國各地的小企業主和商業精英們認為清除街上的移民攤販是現代化他們城市的一種方式。 11 這些已建立的利益集團將攤販稱為“推車惡魔”,他們成功地遊說政府對街頭攤販實施了越來越嚴格的限制性法規。
(AE)Many brick-and-mortar businesses also resented the competition vendors provided.
許多實體店面企業也對攤販提供的競爭感到不滿。
