I don't blame anyone, there is no need to personally see the circus that is our country currently. Watch the circus from stands unless you want to be a part of it.
Well people don't want to be sold into slavery to El Salvador. Big surprise!
Those charts are soon going to look a lot worse. I know of many people who had already paid for their vacation before the tariffs were announced, so they went anyway. New bookings for flights from Canada to the U.S. are down over 70%.
For sure family summer holidays are the sort of thing most people would be planning round about now. The lines at Disney World are going to be shorter this yearโฆ
Yeah I think so too.
People have always talked about a long weekend in New York or a cruise from Miami.
Now it's just dead. No mention of the US at all, other than the blithering baboon.
Would not want to be a trans atlantic airliner this sunmer
Only 20 to 30%?
i really hope the majority of countries boycott the 2028 games and don't show up in la.
Nazi Germany, China and Russia/Soviet Union set a rather bad precedent for this.
Yeah, I bet barely anyone will boycott it.
Couldn't agree more, people need to get a lot more overt on this.
Yeah, I don't want to get detained for a week and sent to el salvador.
Marketing opportunity - TWO countries for the price of ONE!!!
I guess that pineapple they are fucking you with has a silver lining
Totally understandable, a lot of us who live here wish we didn't right now.
You guys deserve better than this. I hope you get justice
Thanks. We've been through worse, just not in my lifetime. I feel bad for the effects America has on the rest of the world. IMO the US should be a group of smaller countries. But then we've still got China and Russia, so I dunno. I just wish people all over didn't let so many assholes be in charge - but that's always been a problem.
I actually am an EU-federalist mostly because big countries exist, and I'd rather be one than be bullied by one.
I don't blame any non-American for staying out of the insanity soup going on here.
Even as a middle age, "white privilege" guy, I'm concerned about traveling outside the U.S. and coming back through immigration. I'm liberal, protester, and strongly anti-Maga on the socials.
iโm currently in the US supporting a queer minority group with services to provide access to an event to a global audienceโฆ iโve done it every year, and this year iโm here only because iโd promised and it seems awful to that group to walk away
next year is going to be really hard: my presence here adds value to the economy and in some small way takes away from the boycott, helps to reinforce american centrism and gives advantage to US citizens (they can attend far easier, etc), not to mention im literally taking a risk that i could be detained for weeks and then banned from coming back
โฆ but on the other hand, if i donโt come am i abandoning the community? am i abandoning a vulnerable group that needs support, and to be shown theyโre not alone now more than ever? that globally, queer is normal, fine, valued - that theyโre wanted and whatโs happening is not normal
i hate that im having to make these choices, and i hate that i feel bad even for feeling conflicted when im not even living through it
IMO: you are tremendously more vulnerable than I am.
If you can leave the U.S. into a stable "home base", you absolutely should.
From there you can try to use any open source Social groups to continue protesting against Trump.
Protect yourself above all else. Unless you've reached a point in your own "circle of life" that you're willing to die for the insanity of America's shit storm.
I'm at the age and experience I'm willing to die in defense of kind humanity vs. whatever the fuck is imploding in the U.S.
Best of luck!
I won't set foot on US soil again as long as Trump or any other conservative is running this country.
It's not even just about how you get shafted at the border nowadays. I simply don't want to visit a country that is ruled by misanthropic fascists.
And I think that many people will probably feel the same way.
Yep. For the same reason I wouldn't visit Russia, Turkey, and the likes.

no shit, dont want to have some border police going through my phone and putting me on detention only to deport me back later
If you're lucky you'll be deported back to your own country.
I don't blame a single person for not wanting to tour the US ATM.
My country is vast. My country is huge. My country is beautiful and welcoming too. My country wonโt jail you because of your thoughts. My country is Canada ๐จ๐ฆ and we have amazing vacationing spots.

I feel bad for the Olympic organizers. Good luck luring tourists to the Olympics.
Fuck em. The Olympics are now the ultimate corporate show because of American influence. Best to die anyway as they certainly aren't a show of amateur sport any longer and haven't been for decades. It's a major cash grab for a few wealthy sponsors, advertisers and IOC committee members more than a place for "underrepresented" sport to have a competitive international arena.mot to mention at all the pro athletes who ruined the concept by attending.
especially considering the us is pulling visas for athletes.
When the US Olympics are worse than the literal 1936 Nazi Olympics

I wonder how low it will go. I was tentively planning a holiday trip to New York and another to a conference in Chicago. Both of which are totally off the cards having seen the horror stories of people having their phones searched, refused entry and even being detained for extended periods without justification.
Instead, I think I'm going to finally make a long wished trip to Canada.
I do feel sorry for those working in the US tourism and hospitality industry. It's hardly well paid work and often filled by new migrants and the young / students. It won't start recovering until the craziness of ICE abates but it's the sort of damage that is fast to take place and takes a long time to heal once it's reversed - and a reversal isn't even on the cards for the foreseeable future.
I'm worried of traveling outside of the US because that means I have to come back in through the borders again and be subjected to invasive searches
Land of the free
On the bright side, if they refuse you entry you get to live somewhere else.
If you enjoy the risk of getting suddenly jailed NK or Iran are way better.

That whole "throwing people in jail for weeks for thought crime" thing isn't as inviting as Trump thinks, apparently.

All those ungrateful tourists that can't stand the idea of getting mistakenly deported into a High Security Salvadoran prison and then being left to rot there because 'yeah, it's kinda annoying but we can't get him back, you know'.
If I were the all-mighty orange dude, I would put a 146% tax on every single tourist that is refusing to come spend their money in the USA! They're nothing but traitors! They should pay! And maybe I would invade their country, to show the world who's the boss.
Good, who would want to visit Nazi Germany. Trump's admin has basically labeled anyone, not a Trumper, an enemy of the state, or is trying to label them as such.
Quite literally, as this is going on, Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida is trying to convince everyone in the state that it would be a really good idea to just... massively reduce, if not entirely get rid of property taxes.... and base government revenue off of higher sales taxes... on tourists.
Florida is ... almost certainly the US state with the highest proportion of its economy/tax revenue ... tied to tourism.
I struggle to comprehend this level of stupidity, to the point that I am more inclined to believe DeSantis is just trying to make himself king of a rapidly economically declining and literally sinking fiefdom.
Agriculture and fishing? scared all the immigrants away.
Tourism? tanking.
Property values? also tanking.
Property insurance? fleeing the state, no more mortgages.
Uh uh what do what do?
Tax break!
If Dems get the epithet 'tax and spend', Reps get the epithet 'Slash and burn'.
What a fucking moron.

European tourism to the USA in free fall
That is what you get when you transport your tourism in a Boeing plane.
