Maybe out of the ordinary from daily events cost a bit more?
Maybe everyone wants to complain so that they get some sympathy for being in a special situation?
Maybe retired people have forgotten about how the working world works, since we don't belong any more. . . its weird getting the same age as old people. . .
I have no idea if the cost is reasonable or not, but if the fronds are as poisonous / dangerous to handle, maybe the cost is reasonable and I aint doing it. . .
but I agree that its an inconvienence for living in near paradise. . and 💩 happens. .

Can’t be any different than where we’re from SG. Landscapers deal with poison ivy (most of them immune to it apparently) in our neck of the woods. Don’t remember ever getting an up charge for their exposure to what is a natural occupational hazard. As a finance guy (you..not me), you do know that there are some contractors that take advantage of customers during these types of events....and as I stated in an earlier post, price gouging laws are on the books but I’m sure rarely enforced in most vulnerable states. Otherwise, I agree with most of your post
