No shit! Every time I read an article like this, I wonder what alternate reality the author and target audience have been inhabiting.
Well that’s what happens when the difference between you and North Korea is the quality of available Kimchi.
Kimchi is definitely more available in the US than in NK, just like every other kind of food.
OP referred to a difference in quality, not quantity.
Well, if Trump and his insane ideas last past the summer, the effects will last, too.
Insert Trump picture with subtitle “I did this”.
Who would want to go to a facist dictatorship run by a deranged pedofile game show host?
It’s appropriate that corporate barons in airlines, hotels and restaurant industries that have long funded Republicans for deregulation and union busting and poverty wages. They’re now getting the full side of the coin which includes:
- their chosen party destroying perceptions of safety and desirability to popular tourist destinations by claiming they are warzones while he deploys precious military resources to create said zones,
- their chosen party arresting, deporting and discouraging the employment base of hotels and restaurants. No one else is going to do the work.
- their chosen party doing incalculable damage to the reputation of the US higher education system and it’s reputation by removing science and academic freedom norms by trying to politicize science, admission and revoke the first amendment.
- their chosen party during travel into dystopian reality where social media accounts, your sexuality or your political beliefs determine how or whether you may be admitted to the US.
Airlines will be devastated with reduction in local (poverty wages, can’t afford flights) and international travelers. Hotels will suffer as they should. I hope restaurant owners are decimated.
Have the economy and society you voted for you greedy, selfish, disgusting fucks.
There are different factions of oligarchs. The Trump administration has been extremely generous to mass-market quack-cure hucksters, legacy media, purveyors of intrusive surveillance tech of all kinds, crypto con artists, religious and home-schooling snake-oil salesmen, venture capitalists, private equity weasels, private prisons and fossil-fuel extractors. They have been unhelpful and often hostile to health care, hospitality and travel, agriculture, science, education, and the renewable energy sector.
It really doesn’t matter. The oligarchs that weren’t installing Republican fascists were ratfucking the Democratic party. They are as responsible for Trump as anyone. When the whole economy became a scam, it was inevitable that the country would fall to a scam artist.
the US higher education system and it’s reputation
While I wholeheartedly agree with your comment, I cannot help but notice the irony in that particular bit.
It’s similar to the irony of Google’s keyboard autocorrect inserting an error when the user knows better. I typed all that on mobile and even got bullets to format, I’m proud!
Whole list of things where the rules were put in for a reason, but people forgot the reasons, and now they want to get rid of them. Sometimes while calling GK Chesterton a conservative intellectual and forgetting about his fence analogy.
Why, yes, it was all shaving the sharpest edges off of capitalism. It was the only way this system could even possibly work, and they’re dismantling it.
May last,lol
Spoiler alert, it will last at least a few more years, possibly longer. Trump and his gestapo have made it clear that the US is closed for business as long as he’s in charge. The next great depression is just getting started.
“As long as he’s in charge” and beyond. That orange clown proved the world that with the current political system in the US, no deal make sense. Every accord is useless, a visa means nothing. The first lunatic president can change the rules on a whim, it’s not safe to do business or even to travel to the US. Even if the current dictator is overthrown by a smart and sane person, without changing deeply all the political system, everything can disappear at the next election.
The more I live through it, the more I am buying into belief that history doesn’t repeat, but it sure as hell rhymes…
We are currently experiencing our own twist on the “Roaring ‘20s”, an not particularly looking forward to what the next next couple of decades will bring.
More like the 1930s.
Oh, you wish… things can still get a lot worse from here for a whole mess of us. There is still blood that the Top 0.1% have not yet squeezed from the stone.
Funnily enough, that popped up on my feed today also - I am not subscribed to that channel, nor have I seen any of his videos before today.
Gary Stevenson has a lot of kick-ass videos on the economy. I like this one about how to change things, in particular, but it is longer. Also, “Belle of the Ranch” has some of the best level headed factual news you won’t hear on the MSM…
Nah, what we’re experiencing is more in line with the early 1930s. In Germany.
Not yet - Hyperinflation hasn’t yet started, but you’re getting there.

Same position, shut this shit down, it is going to be painful living inside it but it is absolutely necessary.
Fucking duh.
Good
You don’t say
Oh, we’re not coming back.
We really don’t blame you
You should come over to Europe. We have nice food and democracy (in most places. Fuck Orban).
Sounds nice, but I doubt I could replace the 13 wooded acres i own 60km from the nearest thing that has a right to call itself a city, and I value my seclusion.
Northern Europe is made up almost exclusively of forests and mountains. If you like warmer weather, you can buy an entire abandoned village in Portugal or Italy for pocket change.there are also extensive old growth Forrest’s all over central and eastern Europe.
you can buy an entire abandoned village in Portugal or Italy for pocket change
Sure you can.
Starting to sound better
But not live ther as getting a visa ia tricky :( you guys dont like immigrants either (i wanted to move from Australia)
Then why is every bartender from Maspalomas to Hammerfest Australian?
You might find something in Norway.
Sounds cold. I’m in the state of Georgia. I’ll stay home and fight the fascists as best as I can. Someone needs to.
Norway is a pretty long country. The north and inland are cold in the winter. But the south west coast is pretty hospitable year round. Norway is generally a lot warmer than you’d expect. I’m up in the arctic and currently have sunflowers growing on my balcony.
I don’t think Europe wants me, and the money it would take is likely ~15k? I will never have that much money in savings again, I briefly did when I was living with parents when I was younger but these days like… lol
duh. if congress does not act will last at least until 2030.
Years. If not decades. You did this to yourself.
and vegas is pretty hard hit, especially since they were declining for many years already.
Vegas will die with the boomers.
If it weren’t for… motions to everything all of this, they were in the middle of reinventing themselves.
We took a family vacation there last year and had a hoot. Area 15, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, Hoover dam, No lack of family-friendly shows, alien tourist traps, a ghost town, grand Canyon spots, the sphere. If you’re looking for sex and gambling, it still exists, but you don’t have to walk down the street beside it for the most part.
There is no water, Las Vegas will most certainly die.
Water is not a detail and it isn’t an option that can be ignored. Combined with brutal heatwaves that will crash their powergrid and leave at risk people in a lethal situation with no air conditioning necessary to save their life… yes, Las Vegas will absolutely die, it is just a reality of natural systems we threw into chaos.
The Southwest United States is currently facing its worst megadrought of the past 1,200 years. According to a recent study from The University of Texas at Austin, the drought could continue at least until the end of the century, if not longer.
Although some scientists anticipate that natural climate variability will bring relief, new research suggests that ongoing warming could be disrupting the natural rhythm of an important climate cycle that brings needed rain to the region.
I mean I am sure some semblance of the place will exist but as we know it? no…
Area 15 looks pretty fucking cool, I will say…
I’ve been there twice, I’m now on a quest to get to the other meow wolf installations while i can still openly travel in the US :)
