I get it. Capitalism is undefeated. This is why Mercedes makes the A class Benz and bmw makes the X1 and we have 700 all inclusive cruises to Curacao. You can't just make money from the upper middle class. Greed. Gotta increase profits even if that means marketing to the lower classes

That was a joke. It's more embarrassing for those involved than anything. I don't know what the big deal is except now if you do something stupid it might end up on the internet. People act stupid, it's nothing new. Is anyone really clutching their pearls over a hair pulling, water dunking, splash fight?

Even these trashy people have money to go on vacation. I can't even afford a vacation with this insane inflation and I don't even have kids. LOL

I have in-laws that have had a bunch of kids, low wage earners, always asking for government handouts and they're all going on cruises all over the place.

Avoiding crowds is typically #1 on our list when considering where to spend precious getaway time, whether it's just the wife and I or when we vacation with close family/friends. The kids changed the calculus a bit of course, but we're still selective/strategic in those cases.

my nephew just got back from a 8 day cruise out of Baltimore. It was a small older ship, (big ships can't fit beneath the Bay Bridge or Key Bridge) tired, in need of refurbishment.. He told me the cruise was under $400 for each he and his wife and the kids (2) were free. You can't go to the beach for 2 days for $800. Those buffets are dreadful, begins to look like a trough after a while, so many people at least 100 lb overweight (many had scooters) ugh! There are good cruises, you just have to know what you want.

And then consider the brawls that have erupted in places like Chuck E. Cheese, McDonalds, and at amusement parks.
I've been to the Republic of Texas biker rally. Didn't see any violence. The meth'd out Bandidos sitting next to us were amusing but not violent.

I hope to take a vacation soon. One thing I have learned is that avoiding trashy people is just difficult. If I drive, I'll run into trashy, aggressive driving. I have also learned that places which get crowded very fast often attract trashy behavior.

It's difficult to avoid crowds if you visit cities. Actually, I went to a national forest this weekend. I had no idea it would be so crowded. Not even rain kept people away. I went to the national forest alone while alot of people went in packs. While I did not see any rowdy behavior, I did spend time avoiding crowds.

Maybe it was that bike rally. I just brought up what I've heard of. I'm not into motorcycles or that lifestyle.

Motorcycle clubs, particularly the 1% types, are often quite segregated. I don't do that segregated nonsense. I personally avoid biker gangs, all of them.

They're called MCs (Motorcycle Clubs) not gangs. Segregation depends entirely on the individual MC. I saw a whole lot of non-white bikers there. g_m I strongly urge you to get a hog and join an MC. Don't say 'no' immediately. Think on it.

Right turn, Clyde.
