Income inequality on the ski hill
The locals and our goofy, Sen. Ron Wyden are up in arms about the new "fast pass" which Powder Corp (owners of Bachelor and many other resorts) started this year. Pay $49.00 extra per day and get to cut the line.

So, same thing as the Disney "fast pass" for Disneyland.
-
The logic against seems to be that a resort like Bachelor operates on US Forest Service land, so there's a bit of a egalitarian thing going on here. Disneyland being private property can gouge the fuck out of everyone as much as they want. Shit I spent like a $100.00 alone on blended margs at California Adventure this past August.BleachedAnusDawg said:So, same thing as the Disney "fast pass" for Disneyland.
Speaking of Disneyland, what can we do @UW_Doog_Bot to get them to start selling drinks in the OG park? -
One great thing about California is the fast track. Pay to use one or two separate lanes from the riff raff
Some are pay only, some are carpool or pay
Most vehicles in the Southland (iltcit) are single occupancy

I do love that San Joquin Hills toll road.RaceBannon said:One great thing about California is the fast track. Pay to use one or two separate lanes from the riff raff

So in August I had my first experience driving around LA using Waze. Some of these short cuts they had us taking on surface roads to avoid 405 bumper cards were fantastic. -
Everyone in all politics hates airlines and shits on them for political points.
Airlines have had rich class and poor class for 80 years.
Time is money. Always has been. -

Titanic and airlines are more analogous to the Disneyland in regards to being private businesses. Bachelor is MY hill but I don't have a strong opinion either way. I get both sides but if I'm buying a lift ticket, I'd upgrade to the fast pass no problem on a busy weekend. Mid week or during shitty weather, there's no need.YellowSnow said:
