[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember as a kid loving snow because it meant we could go door to door and earn cold hard cash shoveling.  It was great earning $200 bucks for a few hours of work.

Now I'm reading in DC that it is a sidewalk apocalypse because no one shoveled their walkways. It is too late now because it is packed down into ice, but where are the kids going door to door to make loot?  It was a goldmine opportunity if they went out and made some effort. They even had multiple rounds of opportunity for shoveling due to the hours of snowfall and days off from school.  I bet they could have easily made $2000 going door to door all day.

What happened to modern kids?  Parent too scared?  Or are they completely demotivated because they're stuck on their screens the whole time scrolling TikTok? It is great exercise too. [/quote]

Maybe they are shoveling their own driveways? My kid was out there for hours yesterday and the day before and is out there again now. This stuff takes time. He also went to help our elderly neighbor did out (before we were even fully dug out), and no he didn't charge her for it. [/quote]
