Yeah, if he was smart, he’d get a leaf blower and relocate the leaves to the other side of the fence 🙂 We just have palm trees, so need to worry about raking here!
I knowalotta better ways than the president and this congress. For example if they would institute my “If you sell it here you have to make it here” policy. That would allow foreign investment here for profit(I think Toyota has a factory in Kentucky for example) but keep the jobs here and cut imports creating 20 million jobs practically overnight. As more money becomes available even more people go to work because more services and products become affordable to a larger and increasing financially empowered population.
Lemme tell ya. Here in Miami the best place for an avocado tree or a mango tree is in the next door neighbor’s yard. This way you get some fruit and none of the messy cleanup those trees deposit. Another good thing is if YOUR NEIGHBOR OWNS A FISHING BOAT so you don’t need that either.
