Yeah it totally sucks when you were accustomed to externalizing your business costs onto others but now you have to pass those costs on to your customers. I mean sucks for the customers, not for you (you earn the same) or for the people no longer paying those costs (with their hearing loss).

Me? I don't employ anyone to blow my leaves so I'm a winner in this transaction.

Well this is pretty much the model of most industries, and especially with energy, the oil gas and coal industries.

As for one person’s choice, I wish all my neighbors would make the same choice.
