bullshit. my extremely annoying neighbors who run their landscaping business out of their house swear by hiring students. they know english and can take direction, they'll sometimes have their own truck they're willing to use, they often have trustworthy friends they can recommend to replace them, they are a practically infinite labor pool of legal, low wage employees.

I don't doubt it. I don't feel at all sorry for the landscapers in this story. What they're doing is taking advantage of the 'illegal' labor pool. Paying folks under the table and at low wages. I like your neighbor's idea much better. There still are folks out there willing to work.

people who say younger generations are lazy are just making excuses for poor parenting.
