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.
The benefit is kids with a roof over their heads instead of living in a car. It's having a private bathroom so you don't have to take a shit in the street. It's somewhere secure to put your possessions while you look for work.
It's not enough, but it's something.
