Here is something I truly despise about THE WOKE -- the parenthetical slight. You can take a very reasonable statement that is accurate and add one clause that changes the entire statement while giving the narrator cover to act like he/she/it is 100% accurate.

EXAMPLE ONE: wcc is a fantastic GYERO poster.

EXAMPLE TWO: wcc, who lost so much respect in GYERO that a fellow poster depicted wcc as getting a pair of testicles shoved in his face in a one-on-one basketball game, is a fantastic GYERO poster.

We, as a society, really need to come down with a righteous anger on that nonsense.

(I am only teasing Chad because he is openly leftie and a fantastic GYERO poster. That has nothing to do with him.)

Here's a great example:

Mr. Prince, whose Blackwater guards were convicted of killing civilians in 2014 while providing security for Americans during the Iraq war, said he was charging each passenger $6,500 to get them safely into the airport and on a plane, and it would cost extra to get people who have been trapped in their homes to the airport. It remained unclear whether Mr. Prince had the wherewithal to carry out his plans.

I guarantee whoever wrote that is getting $6,500 together today.

I am not coming at this from a "I don't want to pay housekeepers" angle. I just think it's ******** that very profitable hotels (until Covid anyway) were counting on guests to tip housekeepers rather than paying them a decent wage.

It shouldn't be a "count on tips" job as it isn't really a personal front-and-center service job like bar tending, valet, or waiting tables. In those jobs, tipping acts as an incentive model for good performance. But for housekeeping, they have to clean the room to a standard, there's really no variation, and they can't not clean your room if you don't tip (unlike a bar tender who can ignore you if you skip the tips).

You don't tip cooks, teachers, garbage men, HVAC people, and a whole host of other service jobs for various reasons. You shouldn't have to tip housekeepers so that hotel companies can pay them less in salary.

<---- youngest of 9, though my family was not the biggest at Sunday Mass. That honor belonged to the 13-child Ward family of Browns Valley, KY.

But still, my dad was 43 when I was born, and my mom was 38. 9 kids. And my dad was a widow 6 years later. Just a GD giant of a man for putting up with and raising all of us while running a construction business. Plenty of disfunction, but he never had to bury any of us kids.

Late to the uncle talk, but the photo below was my Uncle Robert in the middle posing with the two tallest guys in his unit in Korea. I spent many a Friday night with him at good ol' Rash Stadium watching Owensboro Catholic football. The one below it where they're mopping the barracks with brooms is a great shot, too.
