Whether or not you shovel your own snow is a simple economic question: If it is more profitable to shovel it yourself you will if not you won't. A person that has a day job that is demanding will probably hire a service so he can sleep in everyday and get out the door on time. A person that stays at home probably has a lot more incentive to do it himself. But it's pretty rude to assume that his neighborhood isn't "really" rich because other people do or do not shovel their own snow. Frickin' ridiculous asshattery.
It costs Bill Gates more money to take the time to stoop and pick up a 100 dollar bill on the sidewalk...
its not rude at all. do you really think most people in beverly hills cut their own grass or most people in aspen shovel their own snow? the rich pay others to do mundane tasks generally, thats a fact jack. otherwise, your post makes sense. regards, surf
It actually doesn't assuming his person was not engaged in some money making action at that moment. The opportunity cost of him picking up the $100 is probably close to $0 if he isn't doing something else that also makes money and requires his physical body for that moment which is highly unlikely. The money he is making per second is irrelevant because it will be made regardless if he picks up the bill (most likely).
Bill Gates still eats at Burger King. You can't assume that people are rich or are not rich based on a plow service.
does he, i have no idea, but thats interesting if true--thanks. im not assuming that at all, many middle class use plow services, but the fact is very few, if any rich shovel their own. surf
Now why aren't you folks listening to your leader speak? he is speaking now! shouldn't you be trading or something?
