Yeah, how dare we live in an even slightly collectivist society! I should only have to maintain/pay for the infrastructure I personally use!
Comment on Heavy snow when you're a kid is a dream come true, heavy snow when you're an adult is a nightmare.

What sucks is being legally obligated to shovel or else be open to lawsuits if anyone slips and gets hurt. Also, if you wait and let snow melt a bit, you’ll have a sheet of hard, frozen snow that is much more difficult to remove. That, combined with other responsibilities and places to be means you’re stressed and busting your ass to hurry and get everything shoveled.

Yeah and I’m a power plant engineer. So no matter the weather I need to show up on time for work. That means getting up at horrible times to shovel/clear snow then make the trek to work. It gets real hairy in blizzards and I’ve actually had to sleep at work a few times.

Thank you for your service. Critical personnel like power and other utilities, medical and the rest that keep the lights on and save lives are undervalued.
