"they have played us for absolute fools" and it's very sincerely about leafblowers and rakes
I am using the word "catastrophe" without hyperbole or exaggeration.
Leafblowers use a gas engine like a car, but without regulations around emissions. As a result they suck ass and are orders of magnitude worse about pollution. Like, using one for thirty minutes is as bad as a four-thousand-mile car trip.1
This would be comically bad except it's not fucking funny.
I mean it's a little funny. It's better to move a thousand pounds of metal from LA to New York that to push some fuckin' leaves a hundred goddamn feet. That's funny. But FUCK
