Toledo’s deputy mayor told the 13 Action News I-TEAM earlier this week that the decision to mow it all, and mow it often, came because of the complaints about the native look -- as some found it unsightly.

as some found it unsightly.

Suburban brain motherfuckers. Carpet bomb unsightly suburbia.

How weird in the head do you have to be to not only find it unsightly, but to have it bother you so much you complain to the mayors office about it?

How much of a fucking weirdo you have to be, in order to be Mayor and actually care about what some disgusting meemaw send via mail to you

I don't know about weird, it often feels like the systems exist to serve these people and only these people. I'd do this if it were like that for me.

The crucial difference here isn't "Why do people use a system designed to accomodate them" it's "Why is the system designed to accomodate these people"?

I'd be mayor and I'd tell them to kick rocks and then send every agency I have after them, but that's kind of precisely why I ain't

You could've just mowed the people who complained!
