Next year the most popular crop will be weed.....
Nah- it will be gorgeous, perfectly tended- and supply jobs for hirees to keep it so..Not.
Alot of dynamics here- I do not see those that have never taken an interest before jumping in at this point.
One might argue that the freebee was never quite free. Seniors contributed their time, labor and, I'm guessing, the aesthetic beauty of thier husbandry.
If this revenue raising scheme works, good. If the older folks disappear, guess who really loses?
But, you're right. Now that we've become a third world country, why not go after the old people?
"They need money and they are trying to get it on the backs of the seniors," said Alfred Rosenblatt, co-chairman of the Senior Garden. "How are they going to have a family garden? The kids are in school. You can't just do this on weekends, the weeds will eat you alive."
“You can’t just do this on weekends, the weeds will eat you alive.”
He’s got that right. If you don’t keep after those weeds a little daily, in a week or so they’ve taken over.
Well, sounds like the free market is back in style then! Thank you very little socialist democrat party.
I still feel bad for the seniors, but they are an emerging market ~ have been really ~ maybe if they did small fees they could keep a good number of seniors coming through the turnstiles and bring in some revenue, which they need to run their facilities??
