Why would you drive dangerous shit or truckload of mulch yourself? Don't you people have delivery services over there?

Yeah I'm a homeowner and I got my dirt and mulch delivered by a REAL truck. All my equipment for yard work is electric and fits in my van/suv, and any dirt that is left is vacuumed later.

So, your solution is to just be rich? That is so helpful, thanks, I hadn't thought of that. Hell, now that I am just going to be rich, why even save money by doing it myself? I'll just pay my new yard guys that I can suddenly afford, to do it for me.

Wut? Delivery is much cheaper than hauling yourself. Are you bloody nuts?

So paying someone extra money, above and beyond the cost of an item, is somehow cheaper than not paying them that money?
You must be a lawyer, or in finance, because they're the only ones that I know that can come up with crazy math like that and fully believe it.
