Summary

The US tourism industry faces a major decline as harsh immigration policies deter visitors.

High-profile detentions of Western travelers have led to a forecasted 9% decrease in visits, reversing a previously expected 5% rise, and risking a $64 billion loss.

Germany and the UK updated travel advisories following detentions of citizens without clear visa violations.

Canadian tourism also dropped significantly amid tariff threats. Denmark and Finland warned transgender travelers about entry issues.

Experts cite anti-immigrant rhetoric and unpredictable enforcement as key deterrents.

As long as you "give" them somewhat percussively. If ICE is gonna detain you no matter what, make it count!

I am starting to wonder how Americans would vote now if trump allows another election?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago

Trump supporters continue to vote red despite decisions effecting their lives in profound ways.

Look at the anti-vax response after their own child dies of a preventable disease. It's moronic.

I live in a red state. We have a method of voting individual bills into our constitution as a majority process.

We have voted in a reform to get big money out of our politics. The Republican majority in the state forced another vote with the most obfuscated language to get the state to overturn it. We have voted time and time again against Right to Work which is an anti-union bill. The Republicans have constantly tried to get it to happen. St Louis managed to get its police out from under State control, leaving Kansas City the only state in the nation with the state controlling the cities police... until the Republican ran state forced St. Louis back under its control.

We voted in a higher minimum wage and guarantees for sick leave. We also voted in protections for abortions overturning the harshest ban in the state. These were overwhelming majorities. We as a state also overwhelmingly voted Republicans in, who have just overturned the min wage and sick leave bill, and are trying to figure out how to overturn the abortion protections.

So if we had a COMPLETELY free and fair election. I guarantee you, at least the portion of the country I'm in, would still vote for anything with an (R) next to their name.

Just wait a bit more. The real pain has not yet set in. Wait until they have to decide whether to keep their mom alive or feed their children. It won't take long.

It wouldn't matter how people vote. Trump and Musk will be controlling the results.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

That's looking increasingly like a big "if", unless you mean a Russian style election.

I’m pretty sure we all know how everyone would vote if given the chance to do it again. I only wish those that didn’t would have the humility it takes to admit they made a huge mistake.

Are y'all ignoring that he has a 54% approval rating last I saw? Americans want this. Those of us who don't are going to be systematically silenced and eliminated.

Stay in school, kids.

I think that's an okay use - https://grammarist.com/usage/forecast-forecasted/

But grammar is not my strong suit.

Too bad they are loosing this easy and pleasurable source of income with lots of jobs that do not require a college education but can pay very well, if done right. I am a traveled European and worked and lived all over the world, and visited the United States for business and pleasure several times. There are many amazingly beautiful places to see, as long as you avoid the big cities. Immigration services at the customs where always nerve-wracking with their intimidating questions, but I see that now as a necessary good thing, seeing the influx of immigrants in my own continent. It has been some time I decided never to go back because of the social problems, but the Everglades, Yosemite, Grand Canyon and Redwood trees in California are engraved in my memories for ever.

Coming in May myself, anything I should know about how best to behave and handle interactions at the airport to get through safe and quick?

Hah, not intentionally. There are (or at least used to be), a lot of US folks who used to go there to drink since the age is 21 in the US. That's dangerous, I suppose.
