The problem is 100% third-party booking sites, called OTAs. I can’t stress enough: always book directly with the hotel you’re staying at. Use websites like Expedia and Booking as search/discovery then look up the actual property website to book. 💯

Darius Garland says he was initially ‘skeptical’ about the trade to the Clippers, but is now ‘super excited about LA life’

“The first day, I literally called my mom and said, ‘This is the first time I’ve seen sun in February.’ Waking up to the sun instantly changed my whole mood.”

BLIZZARD BEACH: Winds are picking up in the Outer Banks of North Carolina and crews are working hard to ensure dunes remain intact as a powerful nor'easter, with the potential to become a bomb cyclone, slams the coast and triggers Coastal Flood Warnings across the barrier islands.

Honestly, Ben Affleck actually knowing AI and the landscape caught me off guard, but as a writer, makes sense.

Great takes across the board.

Imagine house sitting here when this guy goes on vacation

[Suzee Q @SusieM414141]

So this guy has a pet bull shark. It’s been in his pond since it was a pup for 5 years and he feeds it every day.

What say you about this!

While not perfect, the hospitality industry has a strong tradition (and reputation) of promoting from within. Independent to chain hotels, many GMs start in non-managerial or supervisory roles.

Now compare this to Airbnb, which actually increases cost of living for hotel staff

[@levelsio @levelsio]

There's a natural tension with hotels these days I noticed

Where the staff usually makes 10x-100x less than the guests

While they have to play the fake role of "welcome sir" and "how was your day" of a luxurious experience when in reality almost no staff in hospitality actually cares about any of that anymore

Because it's a become an industry of very low pay and super fast churn so why would they? They make $1K/mo and quit within 6-12 months (depending which country)

Their guests can afford to travel the world and stay in expensive hotel rooms, while they can't

If the staff that works for you can't ever climb the social ladder or escape the system, why would they work hard for you? I surely wouldn't

There must be some socio-economic name for this effect
