In this part of California, most yard work is done by small companies
run by guys named Jose or Pablo, who can charge maybe 2-3x minimum
at most before the competition undercuts them. And they have to
worry about blacklists also - "business licenses" and "immigration papers".

(Just because I don't believe in the concept of "corporate slavery"
doesn't mean I don't think corporations can be offensive. This sucks...)
