They are attempting to get guests on their side about their working conditions. Most guests that I have seen entering or leaving have just put their head down and not stopped to listen or engage.

Tonight as my right seater and I were waiting on an Uber we were approached by what we believe was a housekeeper for the hotel. We tried not to engage, but after 90 seconds or so I broke. I asked her if she thought that the hotel wasn’t paying her enough or that the benefits weren’t worth it, why not find another job. She looked shocked and said “seriously?” She then asked if I liked having my room cleaned each day. I told her it was nice but an unnecessary luxury. I didn’t wash the sheets on my own bed at home daily, nor did I use a new towel each day. She then asked how many times I would need housekeeping in a week and I said once, certainly no more than twice. Apparently that was the wrong answer and she said something in a language other than English or Spanish.

About that time our Uber pulled up and I wished her well.

Still no clue why someone would work where they thought they were underpaid or didn’t get the benefits they thought they deserved. If you don’t like the paid, go across the street to the next hotel.

Brett Kavanaugh worked his ass off to get into Yale. Oh that's right, he was a legacy admission thanks to his grandfather.

Pick yourself up by your bootstraps and all that nonsense.

Are you implying that he was a drunk mediocre student? You’re confusing him with the actual womanizing mediocre student drunk, legacy Irishman. I won’t even bother with naming him as everyone knows who it was.

WASHINGTON — On Christmas Eve 1998, five days after the House impeached President Bill Clinton, Brett Kavanaugh urged his boss — Kenneth W. Starr, the independent counsel — not to pursue a criminal indictment of Mr. Clinton until after he left office.

Judge Kavanaugh, now President Trump’s nominee to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant by the retirement of Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, delivered the advice in a private memorandum made public on Friday by the National Archives in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.

It shows that Judge Kavanaugh believed — rightly, it turned out — that the Senate would fail to convict the president for the “high crimes and misdemeanors” that Mr. Starr and Mr. Kavanaugh had enumerated for Congress after Mr. Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky.

“After the Senate has concluded, I would send a letter to the attorney general explaining that we believe an indictment should not be pursued while the president is in office,” Judge Kavanaugh wrote. He urged Mr. Starr to close the independent counsel’s office, which had spent four years pursuing Mr. Clinton, so “the next president can decide what to do.”

Judge Kavanaugh’s position is consistent with the doubts about the Starr inquiry that he offered publicly and privately even as he helped investigate Mr. Clinton. Earlier that year, he had told a legal symposium that he did not believe a sitting president could be indicted.

That view is likely to be welcomed by Mr. Trump, who could find himself the subject of a similar debate as Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, is investigating whether Mr. Trump or his associates conspired with Russians to meddle in the 2016 elections or obstructed justice by lying to investigators about the case.

not to pursue a criminal indictment of Mr. Clinton until after he left office.

As the Messiah Obama once said, "This is the new normal," although I'm pretty sure he didn't mean what we've got now with plenty of jobs, good wages, and lower taxes.

Or move to Texas and work in the oil fields. There are 6 figure jobs that they cannot fill.
