Saw this absolutely disgusting screed today from the American Hotel Lobby Association (yeah, that's a thing). I have some friends in a network who gets these and others, and I wanted to share with folks here too.

This is a real thing that is happening. This is what giving corporations a voice looks like. This is what neoliberal democracy is; organizations grouping together to build lobbying groups that advocate strongly for keeping homeless on the streets (and other horrible things of course).

I dunno I get these sorts of things pretty often, I can certainly share more of these if people want. They make me sad and angry every time I see them. I like to show these to libs to remind them that this is what the democracy that they swear by looks like.

      Who would pay for that? Where would we find the funds? Also elementary school kids need to pay for their lunch, we simply can't afford to feed them. They need to learn the value of hard work.

      Anyway I'm going to go sign off on sending 100 billion more dollars in aid to Ukraine, brb.
