Called a guy to remove a tree from my yard
He charged $750
Asked how many he does per week
“Oh God, are you one of those morons who post about how easy it is to make six figures in the trades by assuming I’m fully booked and have zero costs? You know what, I’m actually going to charge you $1,750 for this job or I’ll just let the tree fall into your roof.”
Incredible.
$1,750 for just a few minutes of work.
Imagine if he does just 10 other jobs a week.
That’s $70k+ per month. Almost a million a year.
I need to get into tree trimming!
@ww_dasilva@maiamindel I remember in the early 2010s being horrified that the concept of doing something “for the lulz” was becoming mainstream. That feels pervasive in modern life now.
Could God create a BI dashboard so packed with data-driven actionable insights that even He could not schedule a meeting to touch base on improvements?
as i said, the guy who spearheaded the harassment of Scott Wiener at the trans march was really driven by his deep seated loathing of the idea that someone, somewhere, may build an apartment for someone to live in
"hey man, how are you? I noticed you weren't at Roblox church this week..."
"yeah I've actually been going to the Catholic Roblox church. Tradition is very important to me."
Let me answer honestly: I did eat your plums. I found them in the icebox, and I'm not going to pretend I didn't know you were keeping them for breakfast. I understand if you're upset by that. There's one more load-bearing detail I should mention: they were so sweet, and so cold.
