How are the snow removal companies faring in this economy?
My guess is that this year will not be a recession or a depression for these folks. With the recent weather it seems that there is no end in sight to the precipitation.
When it does not snow, are the snow removal companies complaining that they need a government bailout due to the lack of snow?
I can see it now, Kris Kringle the head of the Federal Snow Bank asking Congress for bailout money to build and run snow making machines to assist the snow removal industry. And where will they get this money to support this bailout? Well the taxpayers of course. They should bear the burden of the lack of snow.
There would be a committee involved and you would have the snow removal company leaders driving to Washington D.C., plowless of course because of lack of snow, to meet with Congress and give them their sad cold story in an effort to get bailout money. We need money to have snow machines produce snow so we can keep our plows busy so that we do not fold. When we are plowing all is good. So as long as there is snow then all will be good. So help us make it snow.
Crazy right?
Well if the Big 3 GM, Ford, and Chrysler can get away with this why not.
My guess is that the snow removal companies do not have Ivy League school degrees like some of the Big 3 management does but it seems to me that they have the smarts to have other aspects of their businesses to rely on during slow times.
There is no guarantee it will snow, or is there?
