Luke takes issue with Joe's stance on No Mow May
Luke has expressed his displeasure with Joe's latest article on No Mow May, a grass-conservation movement.
Luke believes that permitting wildlife to flourish is preferable to a maintained lawn. However, he claims that some homeowners who practice No Mow May create messy, unsightly properties. Joe, on the other hand, argues that those who support No Mow May are living like uncivilized beings, likening their yards to "fentanyl dealer shitholes."
Despite their disagreement, neither party proposes legislation or calls for code enforcement on No Mow May supporters. Instead, they express their opinions and feelings about the issue.
