If a major corporation lays off people without pay but continually raises its room rates, don’t come to us with hat in hand. If you moved all your manufacturing jobs overseas because you could save a bundle, don’t come to us with hat in hand.

If you cram us into smaller and smaller seats, charge for carry-ons, extra bags and snacks and make a fortune during good times, don’t come to us hat in hand. If you are a Las Vegas casino and gouge us with all these extra fees, change payouts for casino games to near zero, charge $10 and up for drinks and gouge us on food and room rates, don’t come to us with hat in hand.

I’m sick of you grifters.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way
Martha Olson Las Vegas

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy
Bruce A. Kesselman Las Vegas

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Bill Minarik Las Vegas

The functional reality is that members of Congress need to keep Social Security alive or they will be voted out of office.
