    This hit Florida a while back. Hell, I-4 isn't even a Mad Max style hellscape right now.

    Every set of policy decision has its winners and losers. It really feels like everyone other than the grifter-in-chief and his pals are losing now though.

    "His pals"

    The biggest companies on Earth. Trump is superfluous, like a tumor.

    Remember Trump's victory celebration? Bezos, Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg, they were all ecstatic.

    Watch, I think they'll be on the stage whomever wins the presidency, because corporations are people and dollars are free speech.

    These court decisions are precedent, they are now the law of the land. To rescind Supreme Court decisions we must have a constitutional convention. But we can't even agree on bathrooms.

    So, doom it is

    It can't be done through the courts. Court always sides with precedent. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    So congress needs to write a law, and stop screwing around with their parliamentary goofball rules and vote a simple majority to clean house.

    This will then be reversed by our two stupid parties, back and forth as one or the other wins and changes the law.

    Only a constitutional convention can put a stop to this by our existing government. Our current "What does Amazon Want" republic sucks

    I think the US is visually stunning and I really wanna see the national parks and Big Sur and go to Oregon and see awe inspiring beauty of that state. Just a major case of fascism makes go yuck. No thanks.

    Canada is alternative option. British Columbia has similar geography to Oregon and we likewise have national parks. There's lots of regions where Canada and US each have complementary national parks on the border with hiking trails that cross the border into each other's parks. I don't know how those are being managed under the current state of affairs however.

    I want to see the US during halloween. It must be so insane and so weirdly wholesome.

    What other holiday actually builds community trust than halloween? Best way to meet all your neighbours

    To see Halloween, come to Canada instead! We also do that. You just need to speak to some locals to know where is the best place. Usually it is where the rich lives. I usually prefer to stay where I live, but if visiting for that, there are some places where it's more impressive.

    And as a bonus, we don't have fascists in power.

    Meanwhile China's tourism is booming. Especially thanks to the 30 day unilateral visa free for most countries. Except of course for you know who..

    Plus I don't have to disclose any social media, including your LinkedIn nor do I have to answer these inane questions like are you a Nazi? Strangely enough a few years ago that would be a disqualifier but it seems to make the immigration process go smoother now.

    Article text:

    Overseas visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year

    Graph in article: Number of visitors declined by over 10 million from Canada alone (from 20 million) since the start of Trump's second term. Other countries have similar trends, but with smaller initial numbers.

    I'm not sure if I understand how they define year-on-year.

    In tourism, Mexico and Canada are not considered "overseas" but "cross-border". It's much bigger news because overseas visitors are high spenders and stay for longer than cross-border visitors.

    Who would have thought that a GeStaPo randomly taking potential non-Americans off the street and and putting them in concentration camps could lead to tourists looking for safer destinations?
