Well that’s a new thing. Did anyone have Insurance Fraud Sherpa on their bingo card? What genre of music is that band name?
Investigators say guides used a range of methods to force helicopter evacuations, including faking medical emergencies and lacing food with large amounts of baking powder to stimulate gastric distress commonly associated with altitude sickness.

These new White Lotus teasers are getting really hypey
They’ve been exploited for years. Time for revenge.
My dream scenario is where Nepal creates a new law that turns the tourists into the Sherpas who have to help the guides up the mountain.
I like that. My dream scenario is the Sherpas turn the tourists into sheep and they have to live in their farms forever.
