so @Airbnb let me get this straight
we pay $1100 to stay at an airbnb, they then hold the keys hostage until 9pm for check in, only for them to tell me they won’t give us the keys until we pay for an authorization hold, that would be £1,100.
we realize that it’s against airbnb TOS, we report it, and one of your representatives TELLS us that he is “withholding the keynest details until an offsite hold is authorized”
they said they would help us and we have been waiting for 15 hours, we had to get an emergency hotel for £100, and haven’t gotten a response back for accommodation this week.
i love this because in a moment of sundowning lucidity, despite everything actually happening, he said something wholly true & now everyone is rushing to defend American hegemony
we are in need of Chewy gift cards! we use Chewy for litter, medications, prescription diets, flea meds, and more
if you'd like to help out these freeloaders, we would really appreciate it!

These threats are not interpreted as credible anymore. The war is very unpopular domestically so there is no popular pressure to go back; and in elite circles there is an overpowering obsession with China that made the war much more controversial to begin with even before it was discovered that there is no clear plan or prospect of success.
