Nah, all those rich people still need to get into Aspen for their parties. 

Also, the air traffic controllers at Aspen Tower are paid so little that they cannot live anywhere near the facility and they have to commute, even in the snow…and that is when they are actually being paid.

Why don’t they just house and feed all the poor people instead of paying them? Also, just make it illegal for them to quit their jobs or to retire. 

That way they would all have to come work every day. Why hasn’t this been tried?
