World’s Smallest Violin alert:

The neighborhood app Nextdoor is filled with people begging for gardeners and house cleaners.

“I can’t seem to find a person to cut my lawn…. I had someone for years, but I think he is too busy with estate job,” one post said.

Another issue, the article explained, is that the Town of East Hampton now restricts gas or diesel-powered leaf blowers. No more than two blowers can be used at a time for properties smaller than one acre.

“For the one East Hampton resident, the absolute worst has happened,” wrote Vanity Fair.

“I had to buy a lawnmower and cut my own lawn. I wanted flowers planted behind the pool. The landscaper didn’t show up. I had to do it myself,” this person whined. “My brother just showed me how to use the thing that trims the weeds. Yesterday, I finally did that. I had to take my $800 sneakers off first, but it was actually satisfying.”

That moment when reality dawns that getting rid of the “illegals” would not magically mean that “real ‘Muricans” would agree to work for slave wages.
