Calm down, MNJohnnie.
This is not the end of the world. Cutting your own grass and cleaning your own toilet is good exercise and enobling work. And soon you might be able to find a parking spot at the 7-11 when you go to buy your Slurpee.
As a long-time suburbanite, I long for the good old days when we all did our own yard-work. Saturday morning used to be a community event. I remember going out at 9:55 in the morning and seeing all the men with their lawn mowers, checking their watches. At 10:00 AM, it was "Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!"
The condition of your property reflected your own labor and commitment to the work. Some people had showplaces that they could really be proud of. I was always more on the kid-friendly, but neat side of the scale. Nowadays, every house but mine is manicured and perfect, but I am the only one still doing it myself.
And last weekend, the landscaping crew on my neighbor's yard started in at 6:45 on Sunday morning. The social compact has been well and truly shattered.
LOL.
Kill this bill, put a stake through its heart, and urinate on its ashes. I hope it’s dead, but I wouldn’t count on it.
