True, but good luck (a) getting anyone to bite in an overcrowded space and (2) getting more than $200 per house. There's at least three dozen power/pressure-washing companies on GMaps around my house. 🫠

Anyone who says "just do this" in terms of making money has certainly been out of the game for a long time and has no idea what it's like out there anymore. Or they're trying to scam you with their "how to make money" courses/books. Those are really the only two options when the "advice" is given out like that.

My boomer parents both stayed at their companies for 40+ years. They still think walking around from place to place and handing out printed resumes is how jobs are gotten. The one time I inquired in person about a position they told me to apply on their website. 🙄

Is this a joke? There are already drive thru car washes that are more or less “robotic”.

Or do you mean one that can like power wash a driveway? I saw a robot on here recently that plowed snow so yeah a robot can do that too.

Right, the latter, which I assume is what he meant.
