While he's eating pb&j, you and I can be having Serrano ham and manchego on fresh baguettes.
ETA: I'll bring some special brownies, too.
And here you have why I'd rather go to the Alps..... Or Japan.
Why not just New Zealand??
I ski for free at JH and Targhee, if not, I wouldn’t bother.
A friend of mine who teaches economics at Yale (and I know just because he comes out here to ski some big peaks) moved to the us from germany for that job about 5-6 years ago. He actually did a full breakdown on what it costs for an american to ski in the US vs traveling to the alps. It was pretty interesting the way he broke down ease of reservations/transportation/food etc but it was fucking cheaper to Europe and ski........ridiculous.

Jesus christ, I remember remember when an "expensive" lift ticket cost 40 bucks. Sierra Ski Ranch was usually just fine for me, but Kirkwood was the same price and better terrain. When I wanted to feel like a high-roller, I went to Heavenly and 40 bucks...View attachment 165001
I'll meet you in driggs with two snowmobiles, give you some shuttle laps and make it patently clear why I don't go to ski areas anymore
Thank god we are making 4.5x more now...

A worker in Florida applied to 60 entry-level jobs in September and got one interview
Joey Holz, whose experiment went viral, told Insider he specifically applied to businesses that were publicly complaining of a worker shortage.
But Holz said the construction company instead tried to offer Florida's minimum wage of $8.65 to start, even though the wage was scheduled to increase to $10 an hour on September 30. He added that it wanted full-time availability, while scheduling only part time until Holz gained seniority.
Construction work, outdoors in Florida is fucking brutal 9 months out of the year.
It just goes to show what kind of infrastructure is setup to provide a mythology of victimhood to the smallbidnssownrz™ we're all supposed to ass kiss.
Fux news et al provide an easy narrative of being the govt's fault, gives them something to complain about and absolve responsibility, and the cycle repeats....

‘The Great Resignation’ Misses the Point
The phrase has come to describe record levels of job turnover. But it overlooks the bigger story: a radical rethinking of our relationship to work.

"fuck the rich"
or
"maintenance de routine" (perhaps a future name)
That "labor shortage" is just insufficient wages. There is no shortage of people or man-hours.‘The Great Resignation’ Misses the Point

Pay enough, and people will show up.
100% shortage of people here, there is nowhere for them to live.
same as the bullshit housing shortage
plenty of structures........just all fucked up in schemes that have little to do with housing
......IE: not paid enough, which is what he said
You sure about that? I bet there are a lot of folks hanging around town not working who refuse to work at Subway. They just don't consider themselves 'labor'.
"The liesure class exists at both ends of the economic spectrum"
What is 'reasonable'? $30 an hour? As westy said, there is a amall percentage that won't work service for any price, but they obviously arent sweating the rent.
Maybe because people cant afford to live there on the wages paid?
The correct price is that which fills the open jobs stably. Clearly we haven't reached that point of equilibrium.
