excellent and SO relevant to so many places! and love the term "worklessness!" a truly respectful term that does not implicitly blame those without work, i.e., "unemployed" for their difficult and indeed dire circumstances. Yes, unemployed people, rates, etc. are used and understood widely for research, statistics, programs -- but worklessness makes one think/realize that being without work, without income, is not at all a simple condition! thanks, Walter!

We should be doing this in some areas of the US, including California where we have lots of exotic, invasive plants, and not enough water. I include private gardens where those who can afford it water excessively. Thanks for another thoughtful article.

A brilliant solution, sans corporate siphoning of funds.
