Has anybody considered the emissions of millions of unregulated leaf-blowers? I thought not, since it is the tool of choice for a protected group of imported laborers. What ever became of hiring the kid down the street to rake leaves?

If that kid ever showed up on my doorstep, I’d hire him in a heartbeat. But I think that kid died around 1969.

Leaf blowers are know as Mexican bagpipes around here.

” What ever became of hiring the kid down the street to rake leaves?”

My son had his own lawn service business in our subdivision. Was making over 200 a week doing it which was pretty good for a 14 year old. And people were calling him left and right to have him do their lawns.

One day some very nice people came by to talk to us about his business. They casually mentioned that some of his customers weren’t too pleased with the quality of his work and chose to go with a lawn service instead. They also said the quality was suffering because he had too many customers and by their “analysis” 5 customers would be enough.

Meaning. If your son doesn’t stop there could be problems.
