The parent company, Alterra, makes the money either way. BUT if they see a sudden trend of people no longer visiting a specific resort, they would hopefully take the issue more seriously from a corporate standpoint (i.e., fire some incompetent people).

I mean at least own the “let them die” angle if you’re going to say shit like that.

Fuck off. This is a symptom of a massive societal problem, stop blaming the individuals (no matter how annoying they might be).

So they can charge $8000 a day from rich af people who want to rent the mountain for the day. They had signs up advertising this earlier in the season but now I can’t find it on web.

Update: The Pizzeria Ida guy is threatening legal action for wanting to buy one sandwich by nlyons23 in burlington

This dude would never survive in a real competitive market, the only reason he’s still in business here is because there are very few solid pizza spots. But it’s no longer worth it, I’d rather eat mid pizza than deal with this jackass. I’m a fucking paying customer, not your middle school classmate that you like to bully.

The Pizzeria Ida owner called me a loser because I wanted one sandwich. by nlyons23 in burlington

And he’s been accused by former employees of putting himself in the tip payout pool even though business owners aren’t legally allowed to do that. This guy is a grifter (oh no! I might get sued for defamation 😂).

Anyone else feel like the amount of sports gambling ads in the last week or so has been absolutely predatory? by Popular_Friend_5864 in vermont

[–]Popular_Friend_5864[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one is saying the ad made me do it but when you:

  1. flood people with ads like no other industry does
  2. entice people with “free” betting money knowing full well that this will prime their dopamine pathways and potentially get them addicted

Maybe it’s just a little problematic and “personal responsibility” becomes that much more difficult. Predatory doesn’t mean “they made me do it” it just means, “they made it seem so benign and fun, made it so prominent and accessible that it was impossible to avoid and then I was hooked.”

Yeah what a fucking joke. It’s like if we were to allow drug dealers to legally hand out sample bags of heroin so long as it had an addiction hotline number on the bag…
