    True! What's up with that? It is like a plague. Every year they return once the first leaf hits the ground.
    I think these things should be outlawed - fight me

      They actually are banned in wealthier communities because they’re loud and disrupt the nimby life. Omnibus has an episode on them it’s pretty interesting.

        As someone who had a stint running a leaf blower all day for work, they stink like a motherfucker too,. My coat reeked of mixed fuel exhaust and it couldn’t be laundered out

          And I bet they weren't willing to get you a new coat either? Did you at least have proper hearing protection though?

              Sorry you lost your hearing, but that is what the market wanted and we have to respect the needs of the market. :capitalist:

              But seriously, this is pretty fucked. Good on you for getting the hell out of there.
