My favorite activity in any high-end American hotel is flipping signs on the doorknob from "do not disturb" to "please clean room". This is my way of lobbying for the little red lights used in more civilized countries. You must struggle to create the society you want to live in.

Why can't we have this? Why do we claim our country is great and then fiddle with paper doorknob hangers when other nations are racing ahead not just with this, but hotel room doorbell technology?pic.twitter.com/lbNZq5WOLy

The technology exists! Isn't it weird? Is there some big door sign lobby in the US that blocks all attempts to make it happen?

When was the last time you saw US hotel chains investing to innovate?
