In that case it's probably smart he's doing this as a non-profit rather than a business. A business might go under if the sargassum stops, a non-profit can just wait or just go to other localities where they are getting sargassum

I'd love a lazy job so I can do all those things during work hours instead of after the workday and commute. (except piloting airplanes or cleaning pools, I don't need to do that)
