Real talk: This is a silly, useless, reductive list. I wouldn't have recommended going to the statue of Liberty at any point in time. Probably one of the least interesting things in NYC which is full of interesting things worth travelling to.

Everything else you wrote is similarly focused on the negative aspects of attractions that only the most boring tourists would care about anyhow, except the Grand canyon which you're dismissing as "garbage filled". Nothing I noticed on my trip there... Not to mention that almost any garbage there was put there by tourists.

There are several excellent national parks that everyone who can make it to should see. That doesn't mean it's worth the risk doing it right now, especially for some people, but what exactly is the point in pretending the US has nothing of value? Just signaling you hate America to all the other America haters? Pretty weird this got any upvotes tbh. Imagine someone writing that BANFF is a piece of shit second rate park. 1) you'd instantly know they're lying 2) you'd think it would take a weird motivation to tell such a lie.
