Probably will be like section eight housing, the state pays for damage but in this case it's federal. One thing is for sure, the owners will walk out with a sweet deal. I wonder if a BlackRock subsidiary owns most if all.
You know different high schoolers than I do, haha.
But in all honesty I cannot telll you how many times I had to pay more than double a usual rate because I had to be somewhere for work, and a conference was in town.
When worked supporting a government project, when I travelled I was given a card to use the “government rate, a $175 per night for like $45… it was years ago,
Also in NYS people were bitching and protesting about illegals in hotels so the solution was the hotels are closed BUT they are charging the inflated rate for every room on a closed hotel.
Again, if an policy was established to set the rate, then fine, but until that happens how can anyone declare it is charging the govt too much?
I am not trying to be obstinate. I prefer capitalism over dictatorship. And right now, to be honest, Trump is behaving like a dicktator. Did you see his thing about straws? FFS, doesn't he have better things to do than troll the environmentalists?
So now because he says it is twice the going rate, that's the policy?
I am not actually arguing with you. I am dismayed at trump's behavior, because he is giving the middle ground a lot to complain about. He is not behaving like the gentleman his family makes him out to be. You can be shrewd without being a dipshit. Sorry for the off topic rant, but it is all tied together. I'll say it: why can't Trump rein in hist middle school bullshit and just get stuff done professionally? I would like to bridge the gaps, not make them wider. So far I have no basis to tell my estranged family "I told you so" because all they are fixated on is his antics.
Thanks for listening. Not at you, I hope you realize. I'm done, I think. That straw thing...
Fraud means they can force them to pay back the overpayment with penalties. Now let's find out if these hotels actually allowed any illegals to be housed there. I mean how luxury is a hotel after it's been lived in for months by illegals.
They wont be Luxury when the migrants are finished with them.
Yeah they may be pricing in a full renovation when they leave. Can’t blame them for that.
I suspect they got room insurance in addition to the room rate.

Not to mention what it must cost to retain staff willing to tolerate their "guests".
Yeah, they’re complete slums now: they will need to destroyed with fire…. I’d never stay in one of those 🤮
That is the truth!
I heard Diego asked a hooker to pee on a mattress that Orlan slept on.
... but you know ...
Kickbacks are wrong, of course.
But hotels change their prices all the time, even quadrupling them, due to supply and demand issues.
I would bet even the dumbest high school kid,could negotiate a better deal.

They rented 24/7 to the govt for the last 4 years.
That's a lot of negotiating power.

True. And, maybe they were negotiated "down" to 2x rather 4x.
I guess my general point is that inflated rates are not unusual, and don't seem to be illegal. We are capitalists, are we not?
Maybe blame goes on the former administration for not doing an eO about rates and not gouging in a crisis.
Trump said it was twice the going rate.
I assume that's the current rate and not pre- inflation rates.
And it is illegal to over charge the govt.
Overcharge the govt? What does that mean?
The govt gets to dictate the market rate?

One day you will understand.
Just not today I guess....
"twice the normal roomrate.... it's a racket"
Sums it up right there.
the owners of those hotels need to be shut down from EVER operating another business!

Clearly the entire payment was fraud. Get it all back, from the ones who received the kickbacks and the hotel that took the money.
I would like to dig into who owns those hotels.
