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?
Working at one now, upscale residential and commercial, where the owner has a signed portrait of Reagan on his wall and plays religious music over the intercom. $18/hr and benefits to prune roses, listen to music, and bullshit with my arts degree partner who embodies the saying "it's great if you shit where you eat". On my resume it will say I maintained the gardens at multiple major hospitals and multi-million dollar homes. I can ignore the Reagan for that.
