But yeah....BCR your buddy is not wrong. Very strange time here it seems. Take the 2008 recession and multiply by covid-19.
Yeah he said Vegas feels strange too. I guess
there is a big opening tonight. A Resorts World? He said it had the worst logo he had ever seen, as he couldn’t even make out what it was called until he was right next to it. Said the sign is horrible.
He had some free stay at Harrah’s, I don’t know if it’s from his company or credit card or whatever as he isn’t a gambler. I asked him how it was and he just said “dark“.
You have to know him, like I’d know what I meant if I said it because I prefer the company of white people and I’m not shy about it, but he never talks that way, so when he said it I literally thought he meant like the lighting or something and I asked, what do you mean?
He said it reminded him of when he got his first corporate job years ago and they sent him to Atlanta during freaknik for training. Said he was the only white guy in a long line checking in, and he’s white like he just jumped off a ski slope in Sweden white.
For him to say that he must legit be the only white guy in the entire hotel. He went to dinner with an old Vegas friend and said he was staying at Harrah’s, and his friend said, “you know that place is really diverse now?” He said he noticed.
The polite racism of middle aged white people. I hadn’t heard that about Harrah’s.
