How to Rake California

How to Rake California
What would it cost?


There are 33,061,888 square miles of national parks in California, this does not account for road sides, county vacant lots, private ranch land, and other wild brush areas. It would take one man approximately six months working 40 hours a week to rake a flat square mile. Assuming half the terrain is rugged, it would take nine months, with no vacations. Paying him $40000 and buying nine $12 rakes, as they wear out. We have to provide uniforms, a trailer in remote areas, water to meet OSHA requirements and porta-potties... Okay 3 trailers, 3 water tankers, and special color uniforms. I’m picking lime green uniforms, so they can see each other, and the bees won’t attack the employees.

Cost 1,078,227,968. – one billion for just some raking under all the dead trees and three foot high dead brush.Raking doesn’t get rid of brush that is three to four feet high.We need some weed whackers first, and those create sparks, use gas and are about $ 500 for a commercial one that works maybe six months and the guy needs safety gear. Then we need goggles, snake pants, high boots, ear hearing protectants, and dust masks – throw in four hundred dollars a head. Cost of some of these items must be replenished monthly; therefore, annual cost of one million dollars. Add in another billion for laborOh, wait, we need a dozer or three or fifty at $120000 each plus the licensed guy/gal at $90000 a year okay that’s $6,000,000 + $450,000And lots of management that costs four times what the workers get, throw in two billion for them.California must cut down all the billion dead trees that the borer beetle, bad sucking moths and critters killed. We can’t move them, as it spreads the bugs. We can’t burn them, that gets out of control. Ah, yes, we’ll cut them up and bury them with the dozers building Hugelkultur compost piles the size of small mountains. This will nourish the earth, so the Sierra Club won’t protest my ideas. Anyone who protests, hand them a rake (20000 rakes at Twelve dollars each).  The brush is not green as in the above photograph.
My conclusion we need four billion dollars to rake up California’s forests. We may need to the raking and cleaning program every other year.

Make me rake czar and I can do it cheaper, maybe half price, as I will hire those prison gangs that work fires and pardon everyone on marijuana possession.
Please advise what I missed in the comments.We don't need to ask the Finnish President Sauli Niinisto says he never toldPresident Trump they rake their forests, and don't to prevent fires. "No raking cleaning and doing things..."
