    The landscaping company my HOA contracts with is having trouble finding people to do the work, after, of course, many of their employees were rounded up.

    My idiot neighbors are whining about how their yards look like shit, because the landscapers aren’t coming around once a week, like they used to. The same idiot neighbors who urge everyone to “vote red” and are absolutely certain that only “illegal” immigrants are being “deported”.

      There’s a sketch in Family Guy where Abe Lincoln confronts his neighbor about his un-mowed yard and the neighbor says “yeah, I used to have a guy for that”.

      The premise of MAGA was always that we’d have a permanent impoverished servant class. But the message got distorted as it moved from the middle class liberal PMC to the lower class industrial/service sector serf.

      Turns out “Every Home A Castle, Every Man A King” doesn’t play out in practice so well.

      Probably thought landscapers were a part of nature. Like landscapers are deer but instead of walking through yards to eat berries they cut hedges into clean shapes
