I swear to god, they're the chuddiest of small business owners and every single one does that shit where they have a huge truck and a huge suv for their stay at home wife and a boat and a ridiculously tacky mcmansion and an absurd amount of debt.
Like, is there some sort of grift where you can just walk into a bank and say you want to start a landscaping business and they just let you borrow an infinite amount of money even though you're only going to have income for like 5 months out of the year?
In my area it’s mostly underpaid minorities, even the ones who own their own business. From what I can see they work really hard for not a ton of money. These are the general neighborhood landscapers. Maybe there’s another tier that does bigger commercial stuff that is like you say. There’s no shortage of big-truck, overextended chuds here.
