I mean yes but in the case no.

Most customers are not demanding it.

During the pandemic, hotel rooms rapidly escalated in prices. I travel often for work, and I noticed a huge different in cost. The rooms are also cleaned less often and there are fewer staff in the hotels. So yes, they need raises, hotel staff are hard working people that historically have been underpaid.

I noticed Vegas was not on the strike list. I suspect it's because they make pretty good money in Vegas working in hotels. Ironically it's union or the fear of unions that keeps the wages high. One hotel that was proud to be non-union said they would compare local contracts, tax the highest wage and add 20% as long as the staff did not attempt to unionize. Either way the union helped them get better pay and treatment.

ditto

The default for acquisitions should be no. Too many large companies buying small companies.

It’s lemmy. Most people don’t get a small business is often tradesmen, the local restaurant down the street or that weird quirky store in your neighborhood.

They’re also the ones struggling hard right now. I’m no fan of Harris but based on the limited article, I support the idea.

We need to make it easier for the average person to start a business and have some prosperity.

I seek out small locally owned businesses as often as I can.

It was the model for a very long time. It was all about renting excess capacity. It was a brilliant move. It wasn’t till much more recently people turned it into a business by buying properties just to air bnb.

The original model I liked. You have an adu? Rent it for spare cash. Rent a spare room. Etc. it didn’t impact supply and let a lot of people earn a little cash. It wasn’t a business. It was an accessory. Now it’s a business.

I stopped using air bnb. I use to use them for more obscure places that didn’t have hotels. I don’t like they take homes out of the market. I get for vacation areas this is less of an issue but for places like ny city, San Francisco, etc it’s taking homes out of use.

I hate the cleaning fee. It’s become obscene.

Just everything about the model bothers me now.

That isn't what I said at all. It's weird that you would come to that conclusion. What I clearly said is his change is just repeating what he was told to say. I don't think his views changed, he is just repeating what people want to hear.

It could be all of the above. It is hard to say with Trump. I agree the SS has a job to do and after their last screw up, they are being overly cautious

Sounds like SS told him that. He said security doesn’t want us here.

Old captain crunch is another one that turned out to be a weirdo
