It snowed the other day on Long Island, and driveways had to be shoveled. When I was a kid, my friends and I went door-to-door in Levittown offering our services for around six bucks a house. We did well. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Today, you have to look mighty hard to find that child labor. Instead, guys with plows show up wanting $150 to clear the way. That outrage offers a big advantage to urchins who could charge half. But there are no urchins shoveling snow. They’re all inside playing video games.
It’s a new America, and “affordability” is a real problem, no question. Price of homes, insurance, healthcare, recreational pursuits, all painful.
