Comment on Nepal tells Everest tourists to take their shit with them
Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 1 month agoAs much as permits and stuff cost to summit Everest, we’re talking about people who have the kind of fuck-you-money that they’d probably just pay the fine rather than risk being seen doing any sort of domestic labor like trash picking.

That’s exactly what happens from what I understand. The fine is so negligible compared to the rest of the costs for the trip that it can just be paid off.
'“If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class,” comes to mind.

The fine should be enough to pay someone to go up separately and collect the garbage.
If someone is willing to do that for $50k then the fine should be at least $50k if not more.
