You don't feel like you should pay more?
Like when I buy a new car and the dealer tells me what the model I like costs, I rarely tell him, "That's not enough. I want to pay few thousand dollars more, if that's okay." Dumbass...

You had strong feelings about tipping at a fast food restaurant.
When I pay the student worker handing me my food he doesn't get to keep the money. The restaurant gets that money.
I like to add a tip (which you've said you refuse to do) so the young person gets a little extra money for waiting on me.

what is the market rate to mow an acre sized lawn that takes an hour and a half plus landscaping in the US
ChatGPT said:
It depends a lot on region, terrain, obstacles, quality of finish, what “landscaping” means (edging, trimming, blowing, cleanup, etc.), and your local cost of labor/equipment. But I can give you ballpark ranges and a framework so you can estimate.
What “market rate” looks like
Here’s what I found from recent data:
The average cost to mow 1 acre in the U.S. (for a standard, relatively simple job) is around $125 (range ~$50 to $200)
MOWRATOR
Many lawn companies charge $50 to $200 per acre (or $0.01 to $0.06 per sq ft) depending on conditions.
Angi
A more conservative (but realistic) estimate for basic mowing and trimming is $60–$100 per acre for weekly service.
HomeGuide
For plain, flat, open land with short grass, you might see $40–$100 per acre for mowing alone (before factoring extra services or difficult conditions).
Keith's Tractor Mowing
Estimating for your scenario: 1.5 hours + landscaping
You said the job takes 1.5 hours and includes landscaping tasks (so more than just mowing). Let’s walk through an estimate:
Base mowing portion
If the “flat, easy mowing” rate is $50–$100/acre, for your 1 acre that gives $50 to $100 just for the mowing.
Because it's only 1.5 hours, you may want to translate it into an hourly labor rate basis.
Labor rate + overhead / profit
A typical “contractor” or landscaper might charge $40–$100+ per hour depending on skill, region, equipment, and overhead.
For 1.5 hours, that’s $60–$150 just in labor.
Then add equipment wear, fuel, transport, etc.
Landscaping / extra services
Trimming, edging, blowing off, cleanup, maybe flowerbed work, minor weeding — these increase time and cost.
Could add 20–50% (or more) depending on how intensive.
Putting it all together: ballpark for your job
Given 1.5 hours + landscaping, a realistic market rate in many U.S. areas might range $100 to $250 (or more in high-cost regions) for the entire job.
If I had to pick a “typical” mid-U.S. estimate:
$125–$180 — as a “sweet-spot” estimate for a job of that size and additional work
In high labor/real estate markets (e.g. metro areas), you might see $200+

Do you tip at a store when its a college or high school kid helping you?
Yep, almost always.
You'll tip at a store but you're going to pay the already under market price for your lawn work with no tip, for people you obviously feel bad for/look down on because you felt the need to share their story........ right.

If its not an establishment with a server that brings you the food and does drink refills, that is pretty much the standard practice here in the US.
Sorry if that was too much text for you to read, I'll ask ChatGPT to write a response as if it were a Dr. Seuss book next time so it will be more your speed.
Dr. Seuss is a famous children's author here in America, btw.

So, it's going to take another year and a half to take the remaining part of a region they already have 85% of.

Its clear at this point that until Ukraine experiences severe personnel shortages to the point where some areas are just left undefended, Russia isn't going to break through in any meaningful way. So the point becomes when do those shortages begin, and can Russia survive until we get to that point?

Yet the Russian bots here keep pumping that’s it’s all going to plan.
It’s obvious that this isn’t the case, but every day it’s the same old things. Russia bombs civilians, Ukraine attacks an oil facility, and Russia is on the verge of another breakthrough. On occasion Trump says something, but at the end of the day little of consequence happens.
There will be no winners.

There is definitely some of that, but also I think there is a bit of talking past each other as well.
"Things are going badly for Ukraine"... well yeah, they are.
"Things are going badly for Russia".... well yeah, they are.
So both people are correct, just saying separate things. And both believe if you say things are going badly for one then it must be good for the other... not necessarily.
Will probably shock a few people by saying this, but things are going a bit better for Ukraine than they are Russia right now. And have been for a while. I just believe there is a time limit on that, and who knows when or if we will hit it.

It’s like a tennis match. Things go back and forth.
I’m just surprised Ukraine has held their own since their failed counterattack over two years ago.
