  • If you go into someone else’s house, you need to be respectful of their space.

    Many Chinese and Indian tourists regularly trample the alpine flower fields at Mt. Rainier National Park for selfies or just as a shortcut when they get tired of walking on the hiking paths.

    When confronted, instead of being apologetic, they get defensive and diminish the impact of their actions by demeaning American culture and spaces.

    “It’s just some flowers. They’ll grow back!”

    Yeah, maybe. But that will take eighty years and it may not even happen due to climate change.

    These kind of behaviors are what sours locals against tourism, especially when it is consistent across a cultural tourist groups.

    We all need to do better when visiting each other’s spaces, and that starts by owning our cultural shortfalls and poor behavior, with the goal of personally improving our own.

    Ironically, I’ve never heard any complaints about Japanese tourists, as they often arrived well-educated about local customs and behave respectfully.











  • Native Americans and other indigenous groups do not subscribe to exploiting the masses and ruining the environment.

    Discounting these groups, and people working hard to protect the planet as simply “outliers” is disingenuous.

    Saying that all humans are cancer or corrupted is basically emotional immaturity-- it’s a very childlike world view that chooses to ignore reality.

    Humans are animals, neither good or bad. Their actions may be helpful or harmful, but that is a choice each every single person makes.

    And if you actually bothered to look, you’d find that most people just want to live a peaceful and quiet life.







  • Tell ya partner to slack and steal as much time as possible from his employer, make careless mistakes, and cost the operation valuable time and money.

    That’s how ya fight capitalism: by making it unprofitable.

    Worried about getting fired?

    The truth is that boomers are dying or retiring, and there’s not enough people out there to do the work.

    Hiring and training new people costs a lot of money, and a new hire would want a salary just as high as a current employee, if not higher, due to inflation.
