Isnt this is the broken window fallacy. For the rest of society, the loss of productivity and negative impact outweighs any benefit to the few.
Very true.
Your point is logical as the excess snow really is a negative to our area $$$ wise. Also schools have closed in some areas in the LML.
With all the extra claims our ICBC rates are going to climb even more.
Rates are going higher because of the high payouts in auto injuries.
Buses stuck or very late. Bridge cables having icing problems. A Shaw worker said the snow also can affect tv signals. He was inspecting some cables/wiring in our area.
Nevertheless the snow has given some a major $$$ bonanza. For these few they are making the dough.
People who like jogging or biking on a daily basis are hoping for some warn rainy weather.
About 10 years ago we had lots of snow & it stayed cold thus the sidewalks were very hard to use for at least 1.5 months here in Richmond. Old people stayed inside fearing they would slip & fall.
Sidewalks had 8 inches of hard packed snow. Crazy.
Those with steep driveways or who live in hilly areas hate this weather 10x more.
Also many taxi cabs have propane fuel problems when it's cold.
When Spring type weather comes we will appreciate it just that much more.
