Don’t know why

I have been thinking the same thing here all year! Our Sunday weather news is dismal at best on Sundays...

At least 18 years old
Eligible to work in the United States
Able to perform heavy physical labor
And bring the following documents at time of registration:

Nor those without 2 forms of ID

Sheetz, the gas station pays 21 an hour if you work in the kitchen and I think 20 for the cash register.

Shoveling snow needs to pay a lot more.

you'd expect the government to actually obey the law as written and engrossed--both federal, state, and local.

Otherwise, "We're a nation of laws" becomes equivalent to "We're a nation of lies." Granted, it's just a simple change, having that offglide go forward instead of backwards, but it's a bad look.

A lead by example type, I expect.

I don't see why he can't just pay city workers overtime. He's not going to be able to get people off the street to run snow plows. And, if you ever shoveled snow with a shovel, you know for a fact you're not going to be doing it for 40 hours. Especially if you're not in great shape. You're asking for a permanent back injury or a heart attack.

Doesn't want to get blamed again for the response

This looks a bit too seat-of-the-pants and showy. You don't want to innovate in a big showy way right before a big storm. The snow doesn't care.

On the other hand, it could pay off, either from a PR perspective or legitimately. If the snow storm isn't that bad and he gets 100 volunteers, he can take credit for the weather. Or, if he gets 10,000 volunteers and it's a brutal snowstorm, and they save the day, he wins there too. So he does have an upside. But I think it's risky.

was elected mayor, they had a big snowstorm soon after, IIRC, and there were millions of people who never forgave him for not getting every snowflake off the streets.

Every hurricane Ive been in, and there have been many, every able bodied person picks up a broom, leaf blower or something to clear driveways, sidewalks and makes a path thru the middle of the street for vehicles and evidently, the trucks that come and haul debris away. It’s neighbors helping neighbors. The mayor is right..if ya can help, then help and quit complaining about 💩 no one has control over. It’s winter and it’s a real good chance it’s gonna snow

vs. MAGAts on this is silly and lame. Extreme weather can be deadly, and a traveling ban is in effect for NYC.

And the blizzard hasn't even happened yet.

They put out the call for shovelers, and they show up in droves. Nothing new with this concept!
