This week’s blizzard turned into a windfall for intrepid teenagers who discovered the old-fashioned rewards of shoveling snow—for big bucks due to a flurry of demand.
Kyle Barreto, a 17-year-old in Brooklyn who started shoveling this winter, said he used to be addicted to lounging with videogames and television. But after months trapped indoors by the pandemic, he jumped to join a friend seeking snow jobs during the storm. Working from dawn until 11 p.m. in temperatures that dipped into the 20s Monday, they made about $500 to share. They were at it again on Tuesday, despite sore backs and arms. “I used to sit home all day,” Kyle said. “I finally have something to do.”As the storm pounded the Northeast, homeowners scrambled to find help digging out via friends and social media. Many weren’t ready for such a rapid pileup.
That's a damn lie. Snow shovelers only knock on your door when it's a half inch to an inch of snow on the ground. Ain't nobody knocking on your door when them big snowstorms hit
Somebody tell the hedge fund douchebags that just went bankrupt. Bootstraps, motherfucker.
Just like you guys...count this as a job...can you feed a family of 3 or 4 off this? Who wrote this article?
We obviously need to raise the minimum wage to stomp out this nonsense
Get this deadbeat to pay his BACK taxes and then let his ass get to shoveling some snow
Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about Michaelthomas_2 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation
those teens are taking away jobs from undocumented migrants
Good job, kids! Remember NOT to accept any kind of USD. Silver bullion is best; $Doge and $ETH are great alternatives.

Live a few towns over from Chatham. Used to pay 💰 for shoveling. Moved to a condo and I just watch the plows and grounds men clear the paths. It’s delightful. Of course I am 69.
Supply and demand. Fewer kids doing it. Less competition.
My best pal and I used to shovel when we were little, 9 to 12 or so, circa 1968-70. We used to charge $10 to $20 a house, depending on property size and snow depth, so $75 to $150 today. These kids are getting hosed!

Well done, young shovelers!
Kids have been shoveling snow for decades. Obviously rich people never knew this because they overpay others to do it for them.

And its also tax free!!
I hope he has paid the relevant taxes on the earnings
