Tim reads a news story about Rep. Mike Waltz demanding Bill Gates ban Hamas leadership from the Four Seasons Doha, then goes on an extended riff defending 'brand loyalty' and joking that hotels shouldn't discriminate against terrorist guests.
- Tim argues the Four Seasons has consistency and good room service, so why kick Hamas out of the Qatar property?
- Qatar is a westernized Middle Eastern country, but killed thousands of slaves building its World Cup stadium.
- Arab countries host major events while LA can't manage homelessness long enough for the Olympics or pole vault.
- Hamas did barbaric things, but their political wing has been loyal Four Seasons guests and customers for years.
- Tim on brand loyalty: a brand should value repeat customers, including those who book the omelet station and waffle bar.
- Banning Hamas from hotels sets a dangerous precedent—what's next, ejecting the Yakuza?
- Crime and money laundering finance nice hotels and marble—without death there's nothing fancy, and that's an unpopular truth.
