Zatanna isn’t a villain so, by definition, she cannot be the hottest villain.

So are Afro Latinx, especially Cubans going to have that long overdue internal conversation about some of their people’s desire to be white adjacent when it suits them? I think it is amazing you have all the smoke in the world for Lin Manuel Miranda but none for the politicians that are GOP that are all too willing to

I love my queer fans! I just love the people who want to kill you off, more.”

You’d think at least one of these assholes would own it. Like, drop the, “I love my LGBTQ fans” bit and be straightforward: you don’t think their civil and human rights are as important as your free market, or your low taxes, or your family values. Their money and praise is just fine, but everything else about them is

Despite the article being about and featuring pictures of terrifying animatronic monstrosities, the most disturbing image in the post is photo of Mitch McConnell.

I understand that people should have patience with the restaurant workers that they interact with directly. That was true before the pandemic, too. It’s bad to mistreat servers or whatever.

If any restaurant owners are reading this*, I would happily pay more for a meal if it means the people working there will earn a livable wage.

The biggest question here is are the alternative method’s they propose actually doing to be sufficient for visiting tourists to see the vast majority of the wild beauty that is Hawai’i? I don’t see a city bus going up any of the jeep trails but maybe that’s just me.

Telling people to use public transport and Uber is not exactly solving the problem of price gouging by the rental car companies. 

Sympathy? For a company? None. I feel sorry for the employees though. The government handed the rental car companies welfare faster than they did for normal people.

Yep. From the ‘70s “Nifty Fifty” to the ‘90's dot-com bubble (anyone remember when AOL was going to own everything? No? Too young? Get of my lawn, you whippersnappers.) Now FAANG and the “gig” companies of the late 2010's-now. There’s an investment bubble every couple decades where everyone decides fundamentals no

How is not wanting to pay $250 a day for an Altima “dumb”?

The point is that the default action of government in the US is to cater to the price gouging businesses at the expense of the people. The tourism authority could have publicly complained about how the price gouging is hurting tourism instead of going after the people who figured out how to work around this insane

Hawai‘i Tourism Authority does not condone visitors renting moving trucks and vans for leisure purpose

Nah. You have the same number of cars but just for higher prices. So you have the number of cars available VS cars needed.

So they’re not encouraging the rental car agencies to go back to normal pricing?
