American Hotel & Lodging Association gets caught trying to buy a bogus anti-AirBnB study at FIU.

The hotel association’s intentions in funding the FIU study were revealed in April, when leaked documents detailed the association’s plans to combat Airbnb, partly through commissioned reports that showed short-term rentals were harmful. The FIU study was listed in that document.

Without making this post too long, they basically said in these documents in no uncertain terms that they were funding studies to show AirBnB in a negative light.

They should have let it sink.

How to Hide A Carrier Group

good read but this:

Specific references will be made to a particular operation, NORPAC 82, but details on tactics and modern systems will not be disclosed

yada yadas perhaps too much, and especially since it's been yet another 18 years (and several air intensive operations) since he wrote that.

I found it in a comment by 'bean' at SSC. He's an amateur naval warfare expert who has been doing weekly effortposts beginning with All Things That Led To The WWII Battleship, and which has broadened into various nautical and naval topics about technology, equipment, tactics, and way of life in the USN and its peers.

Icahn's departure from the Trump administration is not at all high minded. The most shocking thing is that they system actually prevented cronyism.

Though the cronyism was prevented in the same manner as Mr. Burns' immune system.

I guess in this case tho he's more of an Icahnt.

This story is amazing.

And this quote encapsulates America today:

"America has this back-ass-wards Calvinist streak where calling for the expulsion and genocide of non-white races is just a difference of opinion," Boivin said. "But making a sex joke at a corporate mascot who paid money to advertise to you is cause for censure."

Normie scum killed the internet long ago, but smartphones and Facebook made things so much worse.

We need to return to a vision of a normie-free cyber utopia.

That seems to be the case of every channel with a social/political bent not towing the Leftist lion.
