Hoping this website can maintain the illusion of being the Good Place until I: 1. Gain 1 million followers or 2. Become a megalomaniac centimillionaire and buy my own social network or 3. Find the fountain of youth or 4. All of the above.
Not just with hotels. Many rental car outlets will not rent to you if your drivers license shows that you live within 25 or 50 miles of the rental location or sometimes the same state. As car payments grow and car dependency remains the same, these policies could become a major problem
And to those scoffing at the idea that homeless people stay in hotels: when shelters are full, local agencies regularly place clients in hotel rooms. Many unhoused individuals also have jobs and cycle between hotels, cars, friends' apartments, and the street.

Also, the impermanence of the digital really bothers me. Sure, paper burns and libraries and archives are susceptible to fire, water, and neglect. BUT so much of the early Internet is gone and we're supposed to just ignore that.
We must continue to use analog communication alongside digital.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

It’ll be the air traffic controllers who end this. Just like they ended the last one. Flights are going to be canceled starting Friday. This is going to end real quick once US airspace starts to shut down.

It would be nice if leadership from both parties, especially the leaders of the ostensible opposition party, to process that and act accordingly.

When Biden passes away, no Republican will ever credit his "strong liberal values," mostly because Republicans are consistent in stating that liberals have no values.
There's no evidence Dems speaking positively about Reps (esp .known bad actors) makes Republicans less radicalized against us.

Trump and his lackeys treat the Constitution of the United States like toilet paper. The only thing they respect or care about is their own dictatorial power, and wielding it in the most needlessly cruel ways imaginable
If you are a federal employee with a gun, Trump will find a way to pay you even if he has no money for that purpose.
If you depend on SNAP, he will use the shutdown as an excuse not to pay you, even though they have money specifically for that purpose.

FOX: Pritzker has asked you specifically to pause immigration enforcement operations in Chicago so kids can safety celebrate Halloween. Do you have any plans to alter activity tomorrow?
NOEM: No. We're gonna be out on the streets in full force and increase our activities to make sure kids are safe.
