The real cost of hiring people to do stuff for your house is it's actually hella expensive to get licensed and bonded legal employees with references that attest they aren't thieves, and if you don't eventually they steal your shit or they get hurt and sue you for a billion dollars.
I could easily hire people to do it, but I sweat bullets everytime I am guilt tripped into letting a neighbor kid mow the lawn because I know if he gets hurt I'll lose everything (renter's/ homeowners insurance usually doesn't cover unlicensed contractors).

- ty6853 1y agoDon't worry, we made qualified immunity so the government employees, also of whom are the people that enforce the lawsuits they are immune from, don't have to eat their own dogfood. There is some seriously crazy stuff in America. Like guys who go around asking mom & pop shops to use a normally private bathroom "for an emergency", then sue the shit out of them because it's not considered handicap accessible and now that they let the public use it it is now a public bathroom. The effect is a lot of places would rather you shit yourself than open themselves up to lawsuit.
