A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

This is what the elites who installed Trump did it for. Not the only reason, but the main one. This is the explicit outcome they were trying to engineer.
The unemployment rate for Black workers soared to 8.3% in November. That's more than double the rate for white workers.

My theory that the hangover from the dotcom bust and then a lost decade post 2008 meant that managers and owners completely forgot how to operate in a tight economy where they couldn't just church people cheaply and panicked into electing Trump to bring back the times that were easier for them.
