White Privilege in America

[Hazard]

I did that for a few years in my early teens too. We had a bagging lawnmower but my mom wouldn't let me use the bag, she said it didn't work as good so I had to rake it. No she would not even let me do both. That sucker and some of the neighbors had big yards.

Lol she instilled that work ethic in you..... My old man had me use the small mower wherever his 36" and 48" didn't fit. Then I'd weed whack and sometimes use the blower if he wasn't finished cutting.

15 lawns on Saturday, 15 lawns on Sunday, and about 5 each day during the week.

I hated my life lol and I got paid crap. Sometimes he'd hire his coworker to help and he'd pay him 3x what he paid me lol

I also once worked for a commercial landscaping company. I managed to work a solid 4 hours of my first day on the job before I hyper-extended my right knee trying to kick a stray dog. Long story short, I should have used the shovel that was in my hand at the time.

Manual labor is ok IMO, and I believe everyone needs to have at least one manual labor job in their lifetime. My landscaping career lasted a solid month. (Not being a smartass or racist, but I just couldn't keep up with the illegal employees and I was in incredible shape.)
