Why would anyone still want to go the USA for fun? I think the USA made it clear they don't want us foreigners anymore... just our money.
Some adventurous people intentionally want to go to North Korea too, so I guess the same kind of crowd will be visiting USA in the future. Can you go through customs with a pencil in your pocket without being sent to a torture camp? Only one way to find out.
It's gonna be like those Vice documentaries of NK from the 2010's.
Meanwhile in 2033: "Omg guys, I finally made it into America, now, we were told we couldn't film outside so we've just been leaving the camera on and carrying it aimed out of the bag..."
LOL, it’s going to be so good. Can’t wait to see that documentary. I wonder if they make it to the Statue of Liberty in one piece.
"Wow, look at all the busted windows..."
"Yeah, shame, think it was a Gamestop."
Yeah, because it's a #2 pencil. Cheeto demands everyone use #1 pencils, like america is #1.
And don’t even think about using the wrong color pencil.
They'll sic the marines on you and they'll eat your pencil!
:)
Nah US still incredibly entertaining and interesting except its just not worth the trouble right now
Last month, Turkish-American influencer Hasan Piker was reportedly detained for hours at Chicago O’Hare International Airport after returning from France. Piker claims federal agents asked him, “Do you like Donald Trump?”
What the actual fuck?!
Normal procedure nowadays. Why are you surprised?
I was under impression there is still some difference between USA and North Korea but I stand corrected.
Their leader has better hair.
They chased him round and round with similar questions about Israel and Hamas. He said it really felt like they were looking for an excuse to say he was a terrorist sympathiser/suspect, so they could apply terrorism laws to him.
It’s not “No Thanks”. It’s a firm “Fuck No”.
We already changed our plans for our 2027 Alaska trip to Canada.
It turns out that most people do not like hatred.
Most people don't like trump either
In this house we have a policy of not travelling to facist regimes for fun.
I never understood people wanting to come here outside of a few cities or elite spots plebs can't really afford.
Everything else is just suburban waste land and poorly designed "cities" around what corpos need.
Generations of grift at every level results in pathetic infrastructure along with fugly living places.
But hey at least boomers got their mcmansiosn and suvs
Living the American dream 🤡
I mean national parks are a really cool part of the US and worth seeing.
Outside of that, yeah I basically agree.
Didn't trump just sign an EO requiring national parks to charge foreigners admission? Guess the dumb fuck wants to be sure no one comes here again
You prolly ain't wrong but over tourism at the national parks is straining eco systems so that that middle class strivers check a box on their "bucket" least of conspicuous consumption
Should people really be going there?
Stop threatening me with unjustified arrest, privacy invasion etc and I will consider traveling to US again.
Not even then. Don't want to get shot for looking "unamerican".
Yeah ... I may never step foot into that country again if I can help it.
Unfortunately, most of the maga hats are idiots. They'd rather lose all their money if it meant they could be more racist
