"My boss wants me to go with him on his Titanic submarine holiday."
Also, in my experience, people are pretty evenly split on whether or not they want to travel for work, even if the destination is fun. A lot of people have child care commitments or would otherwise just rather stick to their schedule.
And this is for salaried professionals who would be getting their own accommodation and expenses paid. I've seen people turn down business class flights and 5 star hotels on the company dime.
I feel like if you know more than zero people with "servants" you should be constantly striving to make it zero.
It's kind of fascinating but not surprising that people who have these "servants" justify it the same way old time US slavers did. As if the master is a father figure doing something nice for his little children.
It's a delusional logic that I think many actually believe. They create (or at least perpetuate) the conditions that bring upon slavery and then act like "I always bring my slaves with me on vacation. They must really love me!" It's impressive how people can always write themselves as the good guy no matter what they do in life
I mean this isnt even charitable benevolence. They go to the vacations to serve the family, even in the example of the trip to space you would be working too.
I, Rigoberta Menchu is a fantastic read for anyone interested in the history of Guatemala from an indigenous perspective. One of the things that stood out to me was how being a maid in the city was seen as pretty much the worst possible job, worse than working the fields on coffee plantations, because the people who owned the houses were such reactionary psychos
So that's where that clip was from where he makes the joke about being a communist? I was wondering what episode that was taken from. Guess I should read a bit more about the history of Singapore since it gets a lot of praise from libs and such.
Working on a mega yacht sounds terrible actually, you'd have to deal with a bunch of the most entitled rich assholes on the planet who are also probably drunk or high the whole time.
