Here's a quick refresher:

It was a time of celebration at the Kansas City Hyatt on July 17, 1981, 35 years ago. Between 1,500 and 2,000 people were in attendance at the Tea Dance, enjoying the band, the music, the food, the drink and the dance contest. Unfortunately, what began as an evening of celebration would be remembered for the tragic deaths resulting from the most catastrophic failure of a structural connection in the United States. The collapse caused the death of 114 people and the injury of more than 180, and traumatized countless others. The effects were felt throughout Kansas City and the United States and served as a wake-up call to the engineering community.

I think anyone who has ever gotten out of working at one gets ever so slight a smile on hearing of their problems. No exception for Hyatt, especially

they're running a video so i can't see if people are masked or not (but i can take a guess)

i saw a statement (in the hill) hyatt made about inclusion & combined that with the pritzker family who owns hyatt, that gov pritzker is jewish, and that cpac built that fucking weird ass nazi stage. that pisses me off even more than it did before--what a fucking kick up the ass--the cpac/republican thank you: "thanks for letting us put our shit here. now fuck you!"

unfuckingreal.

I assume he's going to start traveling the country and holding rallies.
How much of that are we going to pay for?

but I would love it if the Biden Administration played the 'delay' card and just dragged out giving him one as long as they can. Wouldn't that be nice? I mean, they did it to Biden and his people...
