Sucky internet access

[Morella]

I was just wondering...

Why do hotels, and so many other places that we pay money to be in, have sucky Internet access? I mean, really...I have Internet access at home that is hundreds of times faster than what I'm getting here at the Holiday Inn, and I'm just a stupid redneck truck driver. Why is it that a business that is getting a hundred bucks a night per guest can't afford the same Internet access that I have at home? Fiber has been around for what...thirty years or so?

And while we're on the subject...why do I have considerably better wines at home, better steaks, better food in general, better cable television, and a nicer toilet seat than I have at most hotels...even the more expensive ones? I mean, it only costs about $20-30 per person per day to stay at my house, and that includes the fucking food, and the wines.

OK, maybe a little more if you consider that most of the wine and liquor bill is mine, but still...I mean...why does a person have to spend a thousand bucks or more a day to get the same shit at a hotel that they have at home? Is it, perhaps, that the average person does not appreciate the nicer things, and is perfectly happy at a Holiday Inn, or a Red Lion, a Sizzler, or Red Lobster...that crappy California Merlot shit that they all serve for wine? Soggy eggs and bacon for breakfast...if you they give you biscuits and gravy, they act like they're doing you a big fucking favor. If they have Corona, they think they're serving international beer.

Does anybody appreciate what I'm saying, or are most people happy with the hotels and restaurants that are available when they travel?

Because businesses are cheap and they like to cut corners to maximize their profits. You're smart, you know the answer, you just wanted to bitch.

As far as internet goes, now that the FCC has fucked things up with Net Neutrality ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jason-...tml?ref=fb&src ) it's going to get a whole lot worse. Not to mention our internet SUCKS still in comparison with most other countries. Japan has the best internet on the planet as far as speeds go. What we get vs. what we pay for is crap. At least we're not Mexico though because those guys are getting SCREWED. Extreme prices and they're not even on the bandwidth chart. I wonder if they even have anything better than ISDN over there.

That's why Dorothy said: There's no place like home!. The living out of a truck lifestyle isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Amen to that. In fact, it sucks donkey dicks, but it is paying the bills and enough to save some money. I want to open up an aircraft salvage and rebuilding operation, but that requires the economy to pick up enough to sell the house that we're in. We'll just have to see about that one...unless and until legitimate government is restored to the US, it's not going to happen.

There's no sin in that, is there? Bitching is one of my favorite things to do.

Oh, no, it'll get better, now that the government is involved. Things always do.

Did you hear Obama's latest? He is totally convinced that private industry, not government, is the way out of the recession. Umm...excuse me, but...did someone strap electrodes to his nuts and give him shock therapy to bring on this quick 180-degree turn, or could he possibly be pulling our leg?
