      Using a rake for 12-14 hour shifts, 5-6 days a week in the summer sun? Get real, my dude.

      What a creative way to tell me you’ve never worked a day of physical labor in your life, without telling me you’ve never works a day of physical labor in your life. Raking leaves by hand all day every day would absolutely destroy your shoulders and forearms.

        And I hope I never will. And having to work those kinds of hours to make a living is the really fucked up part of your story.

          I don’t work labor (edit: anymore) but that’s the reality of the world we live in, my dude. Landscaping sucks, and doing it without a leaf blower would suck even more.

                  How far do you have to walk to touch grass? How many flights of stairs?

                    You seem to be seriously fixated on this specific topic, it doesn’t seem healthy. Maybe lay off of grass for a moment
