@quixoticgeek less than it would cost to prevent it, apparently

Of course we're all measuring it in terms of rich people yacht money

Sneeuw is een flinke kostenpost, maar oplossingen zijn niet altijd het geld waard

Voor logistieke bedrijven lijkt het logisch om meer te investeren in manieren om infrastructuur sneller sneeuw- en ijsvrij te maken. Toch loont dat niet altijd de moeite.

@quixoticgeek probably more than if we had prepared, and that would have required spending money and no penny pitching liberal would want to spend €1 in preparation, where we could spend €2 in clean up
