Two cupcake trucks coming soon to Boston

From The Boston Globe : There will be no shortage of cupcakes on demand this summer when The Cupcakory and Kickass Cupcakes A-Go-Go Mobile hit the streets. “I’ll be baking fresh homemade cupcakes in the morning and loading up the truck,’’ says Diane DeMarco, whose itinerant Cupcakory sweetens the urban jungle in mid-July.

In everything I’ve read, you strike me as someone who appreciates fairness, competition, and above all, the power of the marketplace to improve everyone’s situation if it is left alone to work well. Given the choice between heavy handed regulation and deregulation, you strike me as a deregulation kind of guy, especially when it frees consumers to vote with their dollars. I’m sure it hasn’t escaped you that the wine and spirits distribution marketplace that you just bought into is seriously screwed up.
