    Tell that to the 10,000 federal employees that have been fired so far. Listen, do you want to save some money or not? This is the quickest way to do it. Or are you just in it for the politics.

    You’re using the whitehouse.gov as a source? That’s hilarious. The hole in the pentagon budget has been displayed in audits consistently every year. Need a source, google it, it’s widely reported, consistently in the mid 60% unaccounted for funds. Doge could make a unilateral budget cut to the...

    Start with the biggest hole in the budget. Common sense. We absolutey need to balance the budget. Hasn’t been done in my lifetime. They’ll say they’re doing it to reduce our debt but then they’ll cut wealthy taxes even more and won’t move the needle on the debt.

    If you want to have an earnest discussion about auditing the government, let’s start with our biggest line item, the military.. Pentagon Can't Account For 63% Of Nearly $4 Trillion In Assets There. I’ll save us all some money. You can pay me my day rate of $8M and I’ll be on my way. Look, I...

    My friend was at our local library today with her toddler and there was a nazi in full uniform. So thanks to all you nazi apologists on here thinking it’s no big deal or it’s not happening. I know we all have enough plastic in our brains now to make a plastic spoon but none of you can really be...

    Working on a topped tree questions.

    lol thanks for that. Does this mean I can stop waiting at the DMV and posting on tree buzz? I'm astonished at how long some severely pollarded Silver maples can live around here. And I suspect they live a longer life pollarded than in natural form. Maybe I'm turning to the dark side but I...

    Brooklyn hardened me. My folks were hard to please too. lol It also helps when it's not your business, you don't have that little touch of desperation and need. You're there and then you're not. Que sera sera. Psychedelics help too. The ego is not a very useful tool most of the time.

    Yes, I do sales. I work for 1) the trees 2) my employer 3) the client and 4) the crew and sometimes in the middle of that venn diagram we are all happy. The client needs a lot of therapy. Glad we are past the lockdown days when boomers would talk my ear off for an hour about nothing. I try to...

    Stupid stitches-Cut resistant gloves?

    In Brooklyn I was using pole saws in trees a lot. And every once in a while it shows up for me. I like taking a loop runner with carabiner and girthing it below the blade, and that will hang on my harness below me, and using the basic weaver scabbard with belt style latch while traveling. When...

    Not within the same government, maybe. From the Declaration of Independence- “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to...

    We can do better. The richest man in the world, hopped up on ketamine cheering on the neo nazi party? And the 22 year old manbabies that make up his ace team of experts? Give me a fkin break. That crew probably doesn’t even know how to make a box of Annie’s noodles

    Yesterday I spent the whole day driving around a reporter from the Guardian to talk about tree damage during Helene and survey the damage. Pretty interesting conversations. At one point she had us pull into an encampment in Swannanoa which turned out to be this stronghold of a far right group...

    Congratulations Brando!! Big doings. I passed mine this fall. Dirr- Manual of Woody Landscape Plants has been a staple in my house for many years. I frequently have a question and take it out and learn a thing or two at a time. I scored quite good in those categories. (Terribly in abiotic and...

    Street tree selections?

    I’ve seen them in the *landscape* but not as a street tree. Can be phenomenal in the middle of a lot of things.

    Critique my "treehabilitation"

    Do these codoms actually tend to break apart? Am I getting the sense we aren’t crazy about planting these due to the management required?

    Street tree selections?

    They need full to part shade. Have a lot growing wild in the holler here. Such a beautiful form, but the best ones are deep in the understory. But I have also seen them do ok in full sun. And they hedge beautifully if you’re into that kind of thing. There’s a courtyard around here I worked on...

    Street tree selections?

    How big is big? There are some dwarf varieties out there. The regular ones max out probably around 50’ here.

    Street tree selections?

    Honeylocust and Kentucky coffeetree were both popular choices in NYC when I was doing some street tree plantings. I don’t know about root lifting, but a few not huge trees that come to mind are Carpinus, Mulberry, Black gum, and Osage orange, and dwarf chestnut oak. Chicago has some really...
