Ugh. I need a shower after that comment section.

And I guess I believe I Nett. He’s done other unquestionably good things and I seriously doubt the guy exploited a deceased little girl to make an extra whopping $39 bucks or get customers in his door.

But still really stupid of him to agree to do something like that, when the subject matter is so serious, and then flake out on it. Not really an “honest mistake.” He fucked up. If he didn’t have time to deal with it, he shouldn’t have publicly announced it.

Really not a fan of the parents getting shit on in the comments either. They’re clearly not doing this for the money. If a business owner advertised they were raising money for my deceased child and then never contacted me with it, I wouldn’t give a rat’s ass about the money but I’d be seeing the red mist of rage over using my kid to get feet in the door. I don’t believe Nett did that intentionally, but you cannot expect grieving parents to be entirely rational about something like that.

Lyft says they'll take you to the Willard city center from my location (roughly central Springfield) for ~$30. As someone who works in one of these hotels that doesn't rent to locals, I can confirm that this is much cheaper than staying anywhere that isn't disgusting or dangerous. It's even a little cheaper than staying in a few places that are dangerous and disgusting. You could Lyft to there and back in the morning for a little less than what you'd pay if you stayed at my hotel with a discount, and I'm not supposed to give discounts to drunk people or locals for whom I am making an exception.
