After searching for some one to replace my septic tank, I have come to the conclusion that in ten years there will be no more persons providing any type of handy-man or Jake-leg, services. Partially because of the stupidity of government regulations and partly because no one wants to actually "work" for a living. Most of the people in my area that have always been a reliable source to call on for any number of around the house and farm repairs, have all gotten to old or have passed away. You can no longer hire a kid or even an adult to do menial day jobs. And if you do, you'll find that often the desired pay is as much as $100 a day. I, too, have a tractor that needs a clutch replaced. Nobody local to do it. I have an older riding lawn mower that needs a little touch up to get it back to usefulness. No one to do it. The lure of big money, short hours, or simply, government handouts have killed the blue-collar work ethic. And, yes, I know there are exceptions. Government regulations and a throw-it-away society haven't help the situation either.
