  I just don’t like your class privilege being bandied about frivolously. You are in minority of people who could even come close to affording those things, and you don’t seem to even care

    dude, you are talking to fricking Pele… have some respect. (also a really wierd take to complain about using “we”, you could just assume that they are either talking about them or their family, who fecking cares?)

    We do things very inexpensively in real life so we can afford to go to Hawaii every so often. We have super old cars so we can afford to go to Hawaii every so often. I know you’re trolling, I just don’t get why. Last comment.

      I’m not trolling. Rich people just piss me off. Everybody else is doing things “very inexpensively” and and still not affording those trips.

        Let me help you then.

        • Hawaii flights from Seattle are less than going to anywhere else in the country, if you look for them on sale through Alaska or Hawaiian. Make sure you sign up for their miles account because that’s how you get the deals.
        • You can also find deals on small hotels or airbnb’s (in Honolulu only) for very cheap if you get the ahead of time. You have to do everything at least 6 months in advance.
        • I rent the cars usually through Costco and then watch them. Sometimes it goes down. If you rent on Costco, you can cancel at any time, so if you find a better price, take it. They also don’t do the scammy shit if you do it through Costco.
        • We eat out once and do lots of free shit, because Hawaii is awesome for free things to do if you like to hike or explore.

        This is middle class, nowhere close to rich. This is actually how most of the western world lives.

        It sounds like you’re a very bitter, miserable person to be honest.

    Oh fuck off, going on holiday is something plenty of people can afford.

      Not defending that fool, but, " plenty of people can still do it!” is a pretty fucking brainless tangential excuse and no reason at all. For anything.

      That’s the same shit logic people use when discussing what should be made illegal. “We cannot regulate corporations because plenty would still be able to do bad things!”

      OK then… Let’s ignore the accelerating economic crisis because some people still have money! Hooray! Everything’s easy when you can just ignore problems!

      Affordable to whom? People who have high enough paying jobs to actually save and are also able to take time off from work? That’s “plenty” of people, sure. But they’re all assholes. At least here in the U.S.

        You would’ve had a point if you didn’t label them all assholes.

        That’s a very interesting way to view the world.
