I just looked up ski passes for Val d'Isère, a silly expensive resort in France. 426 bloody Euros for six days!
So of course I checked this place mentioned here. Same time of year, same six days - $1590
Yanks sure love just handing their money to millionaires π
Wow that is a huge difference! So in the states they don't take care of their employees while simultaneously asking customers for ridiculous prices
For $900 in Switzerland you get year access to most of the main ski resort.
I got my season pass for les porte du soleil for $570
I looked up sizes too. The US has only two resorts in the top 10 size-wise. 9 and 10 of course
They also only list their size in total acreage, not km of pistes
I know that Portes du Soleil is around 600km of pistes (I can see it from here!)
Only info I could find on the resort OP posted is that it has roughly 250km of pistes
Fuck me, I wouldn't even bother, you could do that in 2 days
Idiots pay stupid prizes then cry that daddy price gouged them.
This shot is 100% discretionary spend.
That's the game the whole way down, happening with engineers and corporations right now, except the scabs are immigrants wanting a better life and willing to take a lower pay than they are worth for the opportunity. So they refuse to raise pay for engineers as our pay slips us into lower class, then they bring in immigrants to replace us at less pay thus showing they won against us needing a reasonable quality of life in order to support their incompetency. This is not capitalism, it's how capitalism is used and why capitalism is useless, but it's not capitalism, capital is nothing without talent, finding people willing to do a job for peanuts and live in poverty for the chance to live where they don't need a nebulizer to breath is some captain planet villain shit. Capitalism may not stop it, which is why capitalism is broken, but this is not capitalism. This is slavery with extra steps. . . .
Yes, I was reeeeeal popular in college. /s

Thing about being a scab is you're in an even more precarious position than the original worker. Your job goes away the minute the strike ends, and your right to be in the country along with it.
What you've taken is a zero hour temp job with more duties and virtually no training, specifically to undermine someone else's effort to win a raise.
This is slavery with extra steps. . . .
The end goal of any capitalist enterprise is to maximize profits. And zeroing out labor costs is part of that.
And this is the real reason Elon is pushing to increase H-1b's
happening with ~~engineers~~ office wagies and corporations right now
Deny.
