- Hotels without desks have consequences of biblical proportions: Marriott’s Moxy and Edition hotels will no longer provide the Bible or Book of Mormon in rooms because “the religious books don’t fit the personality of the brands” but it may be because “newer hotel brands install shelves rather than nightstands with drawers next to the bed..”
[T]he percentage of hotels that offer religious materials in rooms has dropped significantly over the last decade, from 95% of hotels in 2006 to 48% this year.

Trash Bags Being Removed from an Arriving Emirates A380
We flew out of BCN last week. It was unbelievable how disgusting it was. What we could not figure out was where all the shredded paper came from. The overflowing trash cans were expected, but the “confetti” of paper everywhere was strange.
Donald is goin to screw the whites that voted for him and the blacks that couldn’t be bothered to vote for Hillary.
I hope it will be fun watch. Liberals, stop bitching. Let Donald screw the people till it hurts. Sometimes a good squeeze on the balls is what’s needed to bring people to their senses.
The shredded paper is suspicious. It’s almost as if the employees on strike purposely scattered trash throughout the airport to make a bigger impact/statement.
