Re: Smoke
i smoke for medical reasons. its discriminatory. i could take all the xanax or oxycodone i want with a prescription and thats perfectly legal and id have no trouble passing a DOT test with those drugs in my system. but weed? automatic fail. regardless of if im high or not, if i smoked that day or week or not.

Drink gallons of water and sweat as much as you can. 3 weeks under normal conditions, not 3 months but I agree mostly. it's ridiculous but discriminatory? Against who? Stoners?
*maybe* some testing will be developed showing current level of stoned-ness,(dui type stuff) but until then, we're losing a good bit of an otherwise qualified workforce willing and able to perform. heavy drinkers, 'tweakers' as mentioned and on and on, all good evidently. evening pot smokers, nfg. it's ridiculous. but i'm pretty sure you know that dt, so just ranting really.

i dont want to be fired for my leftist views or my general hatred of the lead brained baby boomer generation who refuse to give up power and have been leading us off a cliff for decades now, using younger generations to fuel their retirements through the social security ponzi scheme and buying up property as an "investment" and then price gouging the generations following them. all the charts are there, all the data is there, the generational robbery is obvious, but point it out? youll get fired.
edit: f*** it. so sick and tired of the f*** disrespect of local workers who are struggling to get by yet make skiing possible for rich entitled assholes. sick of being gaslit about "not working hard enough" or "making bad decisions". when you enjoy the millions of dollars of capital improvements just know that i was barely surviving paycheck to paycheck to make it possible, busting rod in horrible conditions (in the case of the lift construction) you wouldnt last a day in. oh and PS the entire local labor for the south ridge and snowdon six was built by queer labor - a lesbian, a gay man, and a trans woman. of the three im the only one who's out, the gay man and trans woman are middle aged and grew up in a time where they couldnt be themselves and are just now coming to terms with themselves. another thing to think of during pride month. hopefully i didnt just ruin my life by doing this but im sick of being bullied.

i dont think i have any video from snowdon six, but i did what was the craziest thing in my life and probably will forever be the craziest thing in my life: sending it full speed down chute in a side by side racing the heli when we flew towers with a generator in the back for the tools. i made $17 an hour. working with a f*** helicopter. building the lift you take for granted.
what have you built for the community, besides a history of trolling?

Re: Smoke
If it wasn't for those"rich entitled assholes" you wouldn't have the job you do. You are such a broken record always crying the same sh*t. Maybe you should do something about it instead of always crying.

I’m a lesbian snowboarder. I put more economic value on my employment than my employer does. It’s the fault of capitalism and baby boomers. Waaahhh…..The end.

Re: Smoke
I agree with Asher on these 2 things. Social security has been underfunding itself and therefore passing that burden onto future generations. It's all part of Washington's obsession with giving money away it doesn't have. Demand fiscal responsibility.asher2789 wrote: using younger generations to fuel their retirements through the social security ponzi scheme
i smoke for medical reasons. its discriminatory. i could take all the xanax or oxycodone i want with a prescription and thats perfectly legal and id have no trouble passing a DOT test with those drugs in my system. but weed? automatic fail.
Weed has historically been linked to a gateway drug, and the inertia to change laws that reflect that is high. I hear far far more on Pride month, gun control, Ukraine, police injustice, price of eggs, electric cars, and the Kardashians. It's just not a priority. The move to legalization is steady in some states, but laws on drug use vs employment have not made progress, some for good reason. Pot does not have an established road test for intoxication, and until you get that test, not much will change. High safety conscious jobs will go on requiring drug tests. That's a choice you have to make.
Seriously? It's a resort community. EVERYONE who moves here to ski/ride does so as a choice. EVERYONE who rents short term at the biggest ski resort in the East and pays "Price gouging rates" does so as a choice. EVERYONE who chooses Killington over cheaper hills like Catamount or Berkshire East does so as a choice. People are willing to pay more money for a closer to the hill rental. That drives the price up. Too many people want to work at a ski resort for cheap. That drives the price down. Get on the train or get off, but as Bubba says, stop crying about it.asher2789 wrote: buying up property as an "investment" and then price gouging
You chose to earn less and live close to K. The folks that chose to take a cubicle drone job in the flatlands to make more money consequently have it to spend on their ski weekend, and they outbid you for housing. That's capitalism, it lets you make choices.
You made $17/hr working at a ski resort doing lift construction. You don't get to make what the helicopter owner, pilot, helicopter mechanic, or lift manufacturer tech makes. Want to make field helicopter operator wages? Train for years and then work for a helicopter company and be away from home 4-7 days a week, or even 4 weeks at a stretch.asher2789 wrote: i made $17 an hour. working with a f*** helicopter.
Own your choices.
PS. The helicopter pilot and mechanic probably get drug tested.

Definitely get drug tested is more like it.Mister Moose wrote: ↑Jun 18th, '23, 09:16

I think there needs to be a way to get an instant test done. Can't be that hard... but as Moose said there are bigger fish to fry.
Until then us adults have to make choices
