Complaining about the prices at ski resorts and amusement parks is peak first world problems.
Just because something else is worse somewhere else, doesn't mean people can't complain or feel cheated.
Of course not, it just makes them whiny little first world bitches.
They're still free to complain, unlike many of the people actually suffering.
I think it's less the feeling of actual, serious persecution and more just an intense annoyance at the perceived unfairness of obviously skeezy business practices.
Nobody likes being on the receiving end of "Lol because I/we can, that's why. What are you gonna do about it?"
I've never been to a ski resort, never flown on an airplane, never went to a baseball game or concert. How are people affording these luxuries? I'm in the top 10% of earners and my money goes to housing and retirement. I'm still clipping coupons for groceries every week.
You should have been born to wealthy parents instead of trying to pull your self up by your own boot straps.
