i agree. hive mentality exists. thats how we get blue cities and red rural areas. it's too easy for college kids to spread horrible ideas which spluge all over the city. this creates a large number of people voting for horrible policies. at this point, without electoral college, we would only get democrat presidents. we would be stalin's paradise by now.

I have a rechargeable battery model. Use it mostly to blow grass off the driveway and sidewalk but I do use it to blow leaves off my garage onto the ground. I got up on the garage two weeks ago and was happy to make it back down. I have multiple rakes and tend to use those to get into a decent pile. It’s exercise for me as well. I bought another tool that sucks up and mulches the leaves into a bag and then I transfer those into a recycle bag. I know there are big models that are essentially backpacks that you are likely referencing. I could see how those could be bothersome
