      i doubt that there’s a bigger outward sign of a gap between the rich and the rest of us when you treat a jet like it’s a commuter car.

      the icing on this cake is that he’s never fully aware of it and will be rewarded no matter what.

    Presumably this is more of a c/fuck_planes, because there’s no way he’s driving (19 hours nonstop) or taking a train (28–32 hours).

    @technocrit

    Tell me why i don’t like Starbucks…

    First… Starbucks killed my beloved “Kaffehaus”-culture in vienna.

    Now this.

    I bought only one fucking coffee there in my whole live. It’s years ago. And it will be the only one in my live.

    Had a VP who was forced to do this (but with commercial flights) 15ish years ago. It was hell and she quit after 4 months. Management was surprised due to their inability to understand people or reality.

    Niccol successfully negotiated a similar deal when he became the CEO of Chipotle in 2018.

    At the time, the fast-casual chain was headquartered in Denver, Colorado … Chipotle moved its headquarters from Denver to Newport Beach three months after announcing Niccol’s appointment.

    Checking out Newport Beach there’s a John Wayne Airstrip right there, 5 minute drive. Will probably fly out of that.
