I'm confused by these competing narratives:
> Plow the sidewalks first because of the social preference to protect women
> Emergency services are not impacted because snow is cleared from the roads promptly
Either we sacrificed men/drivers in favor of women/walkers or we just did more snow clearing.
- b112 5y agoProbably, people cleared the roads first (here in Canada this is at 4am typically, and again and again if it is still snowing). Then, as clearing the roads throws snow large volumes of and such everywhere, later the sidewalk clearers show up. So now they probably just had the sidewalk clearers start work earlier, and clean an extra time, problem seemingly solved.
- Consultant32452 5y agoThat seems like a very reasonable interpretation. I would add that they had. preference for making the roads safe because the roads have thousand pound death machines, and later increased the safety actions to improve the lives of people who might fall down. It was very weird to toss gender in, but this is the 2020s I guess.
- Symbiote 5y agoThe video said cars are better able to drive on a small amount of snow, so maybe they rely on that for ambulances etc.
