They put together a business plan and started with a $1m loan, backed by their parents,
Must be nice to have those kinds of bootstraps.
2 to $3 billion dollar industry huh? They either are already or are about to start lobbying to shut down all public pools aren’t they?
Why does this seem so much grosser than just a public pool? Like, same water, same people, same everything but it just seems like there way more petri dish vibes here.
I’ll wash my homeless balls in there, that’s why
Would it kill them to make the place a bit nicer? Why does it have to be in the middle of a parking lot? I’m not really getting nice and fun vibes from a parking lot…
What do you mean? You don’t wanna be in the middle of an asphalt wasteland that’s at least 20° hotter than a grassy area with no shade or trees whatsoever cooking the concrete you will inevitably walk barefoot on during peak pool use time like summer? Won’t you think of the shareholders profits for one second!
In my city they built an even stupider version of this a few years ago, not in a parking lot but in the middle of a busy road crossing.

I’m going to have to admit that the shareholders’ profit is something I rarely give half a shit about. It’s a personal problem of mine, and it’s something I’ve been working to correct. I actually had a breakthrough the other day, where for a brief second I thought “But will the rich cunts be able to make money off of my hard labour?”. Some people don’t think that’s progress, but I’m very proud of finally being able to consider the feelings of literal pieces of shit.
Right? At least put in a thick hedge or something
Combining the image of a swimming pool and a mall, the first thing that popped into my mind was some of the backroom variants.
Fortunately we won’t see this.
Also, why so anti tree/grass?
