Chinese tariffs: I just bought a Chinese shovel for $7.99

[Bob Blaylock]

But what on earth is a spade shovel?

And really what do you call this?View attachment 263513

I guess some people just are not willing to call a spade a spade.

Both are shovels. A spade is a kind of a shovel.

The one on the left is a spade. The one on the right, which the meme identifies as a spade, is not.

It looks like a ditch shovel. I have a couple of those. A 'Ditch Witch' works a lot better but the ditch shovel is good for cleaning up the trench too.

Personally, when it comes to a tool I'm going to be hanging off, I'll spend the money.

But what on earth is a spade shovel?

Two different tools.

No, one is a shovel, the other is a spade. And I am a lowly woman who has been a Gardener all my life, but my Father was a Farmer.

And really what do you call this?

A short shovel, D handled.

The spade is usually used for edging a straight line.The shovel is used to dig holes.

Even my Landscaper uses a spade. But when planting something he uses the shovel.

Still sharp

Next you'll tell us you've never sharpened them in five years. And we'll believe you. Smh.

I've hung off the wrong end of both a lot. Spades are good for edging, true, but also for digging post and planting holes. Shovels are more useful for shifting piles of stuff. Shit, for example.

But post holes usually need a Post Hole Digger!

My neighbor always roto tilled his garden. It is very rich. After falling, his shoulder out, he has used his post hole digger to plant his small garden the last couple of years.

Democrats did not collude with the Russians, but many member of the Trump staff did. They tried to lie and were caught. N jai,or going there.

For anyone who remembers Nixon, the original crime was not the problem, the cover up was.

And anyone who bothered to read the Mueller report knows the cover up was massive.
