Rant About Whatever

DeebieSkeebiesIts no longer worth the money it makes nor has it ever been. Park City is in the Top 5 rankings of Wealthiest Places to live in the Country, according to a Forbes article I read like a month ago. We've never ever been strapped for cash, this is a town literal billionaires come to play so we've never been worried about cashflow. Not to mention, we have an Ikon Pass resort and the largest ski area in the US that gets tons of both domestic and international travelers. The resorts are doing fine, and even did well during times of recession. While I can't speak for the local business owners of the town, I know at least they already have an overwhelmed workforce. Is there any reason to make it much worse and possibly lose more employees just for a fat check you get for two weeks?

City council honestly just dips the fuck out and lines their pockets with this shit. They're so dirty, and they never get anything done. These people who run this town honestly have no idea at all. They're the same fucking assholes who go out on the town with the rest of these shitheads.

Titus69Almost just followed some pos 23 year old to fight in the bmw his dad probably bought him with the girl who probably was bought too, going from PC to SLC in the new 4 lane part, guess he forgot to see the sign at the summit where it says his lane would merge into 1, swerves behind me when he sees the semi in front of him merging into its one lane, then gives me the ''what the fuck?'' face then proceeds to go 60 on the 65 in the left lane (utah drivers this means you go fast in that lane) while traffic behind me is mad im going slow, so i rode his ass and he got a whopping load of my brights in his rearview then he moved then got a nice view of my middle finger, ive seen shitty utah drivers but haven't witnessed a little bitch boy get mad he fucked up without knowing it

PeppermillRenoYou should have followed him home and got him scared properly. I'd have tapped his car at the very least.

The referenced post has been removed.

DeebieSkeebiesDont know how it is there, but this seems like a huge issue on top of stagnant wages and rising living costs not just in ski towns but everywhere. I give resort towns maybe another decade (assuming nothing gets done) before shit hits the fan and businesses cant stay afloat anymore

OregonDeadSo many people go for the waiting in line culture though. While this situation will drive us out we will probably just be replaced by even more people that think life is all about bumper to bumper traffic and waiting in line.

CLQThey need to make it so public transport can skip the line, give people an incentive to take the bus in. Its a win-win for everyone because it would mean less cars on the road.

OregonDeadI think most places to this to the extent they can but there isn't enough room to put in an extra lane or bus bypass everywhere.
At Mt. Hood they close Timberline road when the parking lot up top closes then they let buses go up an down while cars have to wait and line up at the bottom Pretty good system but they can use a couple more buses on the peak days or a bigger bus. As a bonus you can get extra vert and ski down. Worked pretty good for me on Saturday there is a free bus and a $2 bus and I think everyone that wanted to was able to fit on the 9:30. NYE was a huge wait for the bus though like 2 hours though.

CLQYeah that sounds like a good set up. Like if they close a road due to avalanche work, buses should be the first to go up.

Titus69At one point I was probably 4 feet from his bumper going 60mph, I've seen road rage but I've never seen a whiney little bitch

toastLol sounds like you're really the one raging, wtf you doing tailing someone 4ft at 60?

Titus69Cause the speed limit is 65 and he was in the passing lane, I was raging over him being a dick, he was raging cause I apparently fucked him over when he wasnt paying attention to the fact that his lane and the one to the left were merging together, I didn't even instigate the ass riding part, I was behind him 3 car lengths then he saw it was me and decided to start shit at 7pm rush hour after we all went through Sundance traffic hell.

toastJust take a breath and cool off, you can't control how he's gonna drive and you're just making it way more dangerous by raging back. Have a lil patience and get home safe mate

ronders_Fuck campus security at my school. First day of school when my bike got stolen, at 1am my friend took a picture of a dude and a (my) bike in the middle of the street outside my dorm, surrounded by campo. They cuffed him and put him in a car, but let him go on my bike ten minutes later. When I inquired about this multiple times they didn't do jack shit "we'll look into it."
Fast forward to this past weekend. Campo illegally detained me and my friends in a small room, when none of us had anything on us and we were doing nothing wrong. One of these fucking pieces of shit then told my friend to "keep your hands out of his pockets and walk towards me." When he got to within about two feet, this shitlord shoved him backward over some chairs. Then campo attempted to cuff us, which they were not successful in doing. We threatened to call 911 at which point they all started acting super sweet. When the real cops got there, we were cuffed in the lobby for half an hour. Two of the campo were still sticking around, but the one who originally assaulted my friend dipped, and was nowhere to be found. We kept asking for badge number 8******* but he never showed his face among the 10 cops that were there. The cops then started thinking this was a little sus and so they took off all our cuffs and let us go. Best part, we got it all on video. So, you old ass motherfucker who never had fun in college and likes bullying kids under a false pretense of real authority, good luck catching a new job (after you catch a case).

QuaffGirl on tinder simply "liked" my pick up line and didn't reply until I said what's up. What am I supposed to run the whole fucking convo by myself you shallow shit for brains?

Xx_Ac1dTr1p_xXShe's just not that into you bro, sorry :/

Titus69Lol honestly besides being a very scenic place to be this place blows, I pay 700 bucks to ski a good ass park and decent pow runs lol that's it otherwise fuck pc

Young_IPMC700? That’s way too much. DM me before you get your pass next season and I’ll get you a discount.

safarisamI’ve applied to so many jobs and not one has called me back. I need a second job or one that doesn’t just pay $11 an hour. I can barely make rent and loans, never mind food and gas. How the fuck am I supposed to survive? I couldn’t afford to move to another city even if I wanted to— not that there would be any jobs elsewhere. My boyfriend (and I) are priced out his hometown.

mystery3Just curious where you live? I feel the squeeze but I live in one of the most expensive parts of the world, silicon valley.

Here if you have a pulse you can get a second or third minimum wage job at whatever $15 or $15.50 but it'll take more than that to pay rent/housing, food, car, etc.

safarisamI live in Bozeman. It’s become very trendy within the last five years, and the university is rapidly expanding because our president accepts anyone with a pulse.

Its pretty hard hard to come by a job that isn’t engineering or requires a business degree. Got a renewal for my car tags today and I started sobbing because I can’t afford it, but live outside of town so a i need my car. I’m applying food stamps tomorrow and going to the food bank so we’ll See.

Silicone valley is so insane, i can’t see how one can afford to live there.

Al.Capone700 bucks really isn’t that bad, how old are you?
I pay 750 for a season at Alta(18-25) and it comes with 2 days to the bird, 2 days to tude, and 2 days to deer valley. The day passes alone add up to $780. Plus I already have around 30+ days at Alta so my pass paid for itself a long time ago.

BigPurpleSkiSuitJob hunts:
Loans: are you paying interest? If yes, use a balance transfer or free balance transfer to transfer the whole thing or a portion of the loan into a place you dont have to pay interest on it. Often times credit cards have introductory 0 percent rates for almost 2 years and if you make payments, it helps build your credit. Banks have these, and so do credit unions sometimes. This is all assuming you or someone willing to cosign with you has good credit which I dont know. That's what I recommend to people struggling with debt IF THEY FEEL RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON TIME AND OR HAVE THE ABILITY TO. If you don't, don't get involved with credit cards since the interest will ruin your life.

TLDR: I just wrote a semi decent budgeting list, so if you want have a look

Xx_Ac1dTr1p_xXIt feels like I am stuck on an island
My job is killing me
But the money is too good

McNocheAlllll you do is complain about being broke or how shitty hostels are. Get a fucking clue pal

safarisamYou work in banking right? Would love to see your budget list!! Loans will be done by May of this year, thank gosh. I ended up getting cut off and haven't seen any money from my owned and managed property so times are a bit rough right now.

PoikenzNot trying to butt in, but I survived on min wage for 3 years and paid off my student loans at the same time without feeling a struggle (sub 25k a year). I'd buy bulk food and cook it all at once to save costs (get a wok) and I'd never eat out, this includes coffee, if you must have it make it yourself (approx 80/week at the time). I will say that I didn't own a car for that period and got around via public transit (~120) and renting cars on the weekends to go skiing (~40 per weekend). Other than that, ski passes (~500), and rent (900) I didn't make any large or unnecessary purchases, so no new phones, electronics, clothes, etc. just because I want them, there needs to be a reason for replacement, and if I'm not replacing something then I can probably live without it at this point. Oh and try to avoid paying for entertainment as much as possible, as that can add up pretty fast. I found that doing that I still had enough to afford to do other activities in the summer and attend events with friends, so it's not like you have to stay at home all the time either. But yeah, the car is a huge hit to the budget for sure.

You can make $$ at car rental places, but there is a good chance you will end up hating life (it's easy to get hired by them too). Talk to friends too, sometimes they can hook you up with side jobs that can pay out really well.

Titus69Soooooo why the fuck is PCs park crew closing 3 kings even though the world cup is on the park next to it? Itd be kinda cool to see a triple next to you while going up the lift then skiing a fun park lap down all inspired...but oh well I guess I'll ski the canyons park
