Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote:So some family scrimps and saves to go to Disney World... just to have some pieces of shit cut them in line like this
Quote:Folks get paid to pretend they're govt workers ( standing around and doing absolutely nothing ) while kiddies can go around the park and spend more of mommie's money.
Quote:“It’s insider knowledge that very few have and share carefully,” Martin told the Post. “So when you’re doing it, you’re affirming that you are one of the privileged insiders who has and shares this information.” “My daughter waited one minute to get on ‘It’s a Small World’ — the other kids had to wait 2 1/2 hours,” one unnamed mom bragged to the Post. “You can’t go to Disney without a tour concierge...This is how the 1 percent does Disney.” http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/disney-world-scheme--entitled-families-hire-disabled-guide-to-bypass-lines-194555620.html]
Quote:Passing around the rogue guide service’s phone number recently became a shameless ritual among Manhattan’s private-school set during spring break. The service asks who referred you before they even take your call. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/disney_world_srich_kid_outrage_zTBA0xrvZRkIVc1zItXGDP]
Quote:Due to inaccurate press, libel, and harassment, Dream Tours is not offering VIP tours at this time. Our focus has primarily always been providing magical vacations for adults with special needs and helping their dreams to come true. http://www.dreamtoursflorida.com/vip-tours/]
Quote:Dream Tours Florida advertised its VIP package as, "Your guide will provide significantly reduced wait times through the parks and special entrance to fast pass lines." http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/207879601.html]
Quote:A report last night by WTKR, channel 13 in North Carolina and Virginia, found that the IRS revoked the Dream Tours Florida's tax-exempt status because the charity failed to file tax records or financial reports for the past three years. The report states Dream Tours' website still claims it's tax-exempt. http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/207879601.html]
Quote:“It is actually. It’s great memories. It’s something we’ll never forget and hopefully can go again while Ainsley is still with us, absolutely,” says Lori. So Ainsley’s family was stunned to read a New York Post article saying rich parents in New York were wrongly taking advantage of Disney generosity. “Boiling inside at the idea of people attempting to take a beautiful thing and potentially put it into jeopardy,” says Ainsley’s father. http://wtkr.com/2013/05/16/local-families-furious-over-exploitation-of-disney-disability-treatment/

Quote:Social researcher Wednesday Martin "caught wind of the underground network" while working on a book about practices among New York City's Park Avenue elite, the Post reported. ..... The theme park offers VIP tours and FastPass service allowing people to avoid long lines. Martin said the wealthy people she spoke with found that hiring a disabled guide can cost less and allow people to skip straight to the front of lines.
Quote:"At least they are sharing the wealth and providing the less fortunate with over $1000 a day to go to Disney World," one of the first comments on this CNN.com story said, from user "blindliberal." And jessied44 wrote, "$1040 for a day spent having fun -- not a bad job. Pretending they are part of the family isn't a good example for the children, but providing work for someone who is disabled isn't a bad thing to do."
Quote:“It is unacceptable to abuse accommodations that were designed for guests with disabilities,” Disney spokesman Bryan Malenius told CNN Wednesday. “We are thoroughly reviewing the situation and will take appropriate steps to deter this type of activity.”
