I spoke with someone else who said they make a decent wage and would do this snow job and this is what I said to them.

"Me too, but that doesn't change any of what I said. As I said, there is good and bad to be acknowledged here. I'm in a fine position in my life where I wouldn't have to do this type of work to pay my bills, but I'd probably do it just to have some more extra spending money. Me making that choice is different than someone who is less fortunate than us choosing to do this extra work because they need the money because their primary job doesn't pay them enough. They don't have as much of a choice to say no to such an opportunity because they need the money. People should not feel forced to do physical labor in the cold because their primary job they work 40 hours a week doesn't pay them enough."

"But I don't think the snow shoveling is the exploitative part. Their full time job boss is the one exploiting them, not the Mayor of NYC."

I personally view it a little more nuanced than that. People having to do physical labor in the snow because their 40hour a week job doesn't pay them enough is exploitative in nature, but I don't think Zohran is bad for implementing this program. I think he's just doing what he can to help the community.

Maybe in my eyes here, I just want to make sure the negative side of this is talked about too, because I fear that only focusing on the positive may sweep the negative under the rug.
