Hey EmailTim!I was just about to edit my earlier post, to make note that, regarding that whole resource usage/earth damage stuff, was tongue-in-cheek. I was just tweeking the noses of the environmentalist crowd. To them, EVERYTHING is a green issue. I feel sorry for the impressionable students who are subjected to the left's nonsense on a daily basis. :)
But you replied before I edited. Whoa, it's like we're thinking about the same thing at the same time, dude. Far out. ;)
However, I must disagree with you regarding: "As for maintaining the equipment and paying the salaries and retirements, that is already being paid for." I get this a lot in one of my lines of work. The reality is that, with less demand for services, there should be a commenserate (sp?) reduced need for the infrastructure and staff needed to provide it. If increased demand requires more infrastructure and more staff, then it follows that reduced demand requires less infrastructure and less staff.
But, we all know that the demand/supply/cost model doesn't apply to unionized government entities or politicians who seek to feather their nests.
On your other point: "The only difference is if not enough rooms were sold, the hotel will go out of business." Not true. If not enough rooms were sold - on an ongoing basis, the first thing that would happen is that staff would be reduced (probably starting with the room housekeeping folks), "free" breakfast costs would go down, etc. The hotel would NOT automatically go out of business.
Thankfully (?), government has the ability to simply demand more money from us, rather than having to make hard decisions.
