    Leaf blowers are the ultimate petty bourgeois machine, producing a ridiculous amount of noise and air pollution, making life worse for everyone around you, and negating ecological cycles all to keep your ugly colonial grass yard clear of "debris"

      My neighbor has a fucking professional leaf blower that's gas operated and has backpack straps for a yard that's pitiful in size, so obnoxious, but they are nice people so land of contrasts.

        It's subconscious, like driving. They probably never consider its effects on other people and the environment.

        Sounds like mine

        He has 2 gas powered blowers, several edgers, 1 regular mower and and a pro grade riding mower for a plot that is maybe 1/3 of an acre

        Incredibly nice and he mows other yards in the neighborhood for older folks for free, but so overkill lol

        I know he's not a landscape contractor, the guy's retired and a former firefighter; just funny
