Sounds like they've got their priorities in order, as is usual.
There's a scene in a ~10 year old documentary about a Greenwich Village hole-in-the-wall restaurant that's forced to change locations.
The name of the film is "I Like Killing Flies". The guy takes care of his business, killing flies in the process, and found the time and money to install a bug zapper near the ceiling to take care of the "high fliers".
It's a family thing, so the guy has a son doing stuff at the new location, including feeding the parking meter.
The guy shows up holding a ticket from their vehicle outside, and proceeds to ream the son out about the ticket, saying that "yes, you may be working and getting stuff done, but your most important task on the list was to feed the meter!"
Even an middle aged hippie knows how to get the important things done compared to practically any solon.
