Normally, I would never dream of bringing up someone’s disability but I feel it’s appropriate in this case…because Abbott is one of the biggest shit stains in America.
It feels pretty shitty to be a disabled person scrolling by and seeing comments like this. I don’t think that Abbott being a shitty person makes your statement any less hurtful to non-shitty disabled people
Watching Joe Arpaio proudly show off his concentration camp in Arizona to Chinese diplomats and with a grin talk about how they put women in chain gangs, earning hardly veiled disgust from the representatives of the second most brutal regime on earth.
It’s crazy to me that anyone could sit on their ass in AC all day and even consider speaking to take water breaks away from construction workers. I went in figuring they got 10 minutes per hour and it’s only 10 minutes per four hours?! Fuck that noise, they need more time to rest and hydrate. What the fuck is wrong with people.
Yup, will tell everyone I know about Curves and not to use them. I already let everyone I know that the Buccee’s CEO donated to Abbotts campaign, so fuck them too.
And now I gotta look up this Monty Bennet guy to see which hotel chains he’s apart of, and avoid staying there as well.
The oil men…meh…they’ve always pieces of shit, so they don’t surprise me.
Edit: Well fuck me. Remington hotels manages 24 brands, including shit like Courtyard by Marriott, LA Quinta, Hilton, Marriott, Residence Inn, Hyatt, Westin, and Sheraton.
Guess I’m searching out independently owned boutiques and true-blue, old-school Bed and Breakfast’s. 😮💨
I don’t get the love for Buccees. The bathroom lines are long and the place is a madhouse every time I’ve stopped there. Is the gas cheaper or something?
I have no idea either. I’ll admit that they do keep their bathrooms clean, but so does Love’s, which is usually right across the street from a Buccee’s in my experience.
And since everyone and their brother simply must go to Buccee’s specifically, the bathroom lines and parking lot at Love’s is much more manageable.
Some people like their hot food I guess, but no amount of roast beef will convince me to support a brand that supports Abbott (once I find out about it, I swear I don’t actively go looking for this shit. I just do my research when the opportunity presents itself because we’re in a capitalist society, and if enough people voted with their dollars, shit might change)
They only manage ~130 specific properties within those brands (their website is hot garbage so I’ve provided an alt link).
Sometimes a brand will own the property, but hire an outside company to manage it, other times the mgmt company owns and manages the property, and even more other other times, the mgmt company will own the property, but the brand is (still) under contract to manage the property from the previous owner
Lit. Thanks for the clarification. And the better link!
I think being an informed consumer is hella important for change, so I’m super appreciative for better information. This is good news because the list isn’t as extensive as I thought, since I misunderstood their portfolio.
Definitely favorited your link (so I know which hotels Id like to do my best avoiding) as I travel around Texas! You’re a real one!
Thanks @torknorggren for letting me know first link was 404'd on my first post. Thanks @PeterGintz for correcting the link. That link is now in this thread.
