Why would anyone go to visit a fascist dictatorship?
Free kidnapping and deportation experience
I mean you already left your dignity at home. What’s a few days at Florida Alcatraz?
Except it’s not a few days, it’s half a year if you’re lucky.
The latest craze at Disney World. Get your tickets now, kids!
Plenty of dictatorships around the world treat foreign tourists well enough. The special thing about the US is that they seem to be happy to treat even tourists like shit. For example “German tourists’ ordeal reportedly ending as they are returned from US detention”:
Jessica Brösche, a 29-year-old tattoo artist from Berlin, will reportedly join Lucas Sielaff, 25, from Bad Bibra in Saxony-Anhalt, who is reported to have returned to Germany on 6 March, after being arrested at the Mexican border on 18 February before being detained for almost two weeks.
The families of the two tourists, who were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), had compared their ordeals to “a horror film”.
I have to travel to 'Murica every few months
I’m loving the fact that the exchange rate has gotten better for me by a significant margin, that hotels are offering cheaper rates because they have rooms empty that would otherwise be full and that places are less busy with tourists
I feel for the people who didn’t vote for Trump, but for those who did, and for those who could have voted against him but didn’t, they can suck the farts right out of my arsehole
Why would anyone want to travel to a fascist police state run by pedophiles? How is that fun? They’ve already said they are going to have their state sponsored terrorist police at airports looking through your phone to make sure you support the fundamentalist colonialist state of Israel and their genocide and to make sure you support king pedo and the fuck around gang or you could just go on a vacation to literally anywhere else and not have to deal with this clown show
Given past sports washing events, people don’t care about that.
It seems to be a combination of extremely high ticket prices combined with a fear that ICE is going to disappear you when you’re traveling the country.
This is idiocracy in action. These kind of propaganda ops only work if you can stop the bad stuff you are doing for at least 5 minutes.
When the Saudi comedy festival circus was going on they didn’t imprison and or kill the comedians they paid to go there. They could stop for the metaphorical 5 minutes - the current US clown show is too stupid even for that.
Also with how fucking spread out the event is. You HAVE to use the airports, so you’re forced to go through ICE. Its not just coming in and out of the country.
also the protest and ICE attacks on LA, likely making people stay away.
Trump is a hotel owner.
Destroys tourism.
> be Trump
> be participant in largest blackmail influence network in history
> banks, shahs, princes, empires, all crumble between your fingertips
> get to bang models when they’re still teenager virgins
> become president
> “wow I’m the greatest genius ever, make American great again”
> everyone talks shit about you but who cares? Have fun talking shit right back you’re the king of the world
> FBI arrests your Mossad agent partner, he’s gonna squeal
> you have to have him killed to keep everything from getting out
> tfw “I’ll show them, I’ll destroy their precious country for what they made me do to you, Jeffrey”
My take is different.
Trump was in bed with the New York Mafia for decades. The real bosses stayed as far away from him as possible, sending their stooges to control him.
Trump had one really smart mentor, Roy Cohn. He ditched Cohn when Roy was diagnosed with AIDS.
Trump thinks that he’s a genius because he does scams like selling NFTs and golden sneakers to chumps.
A real boss would have quietly extorted $50 billion out of Saudi Arabia on Inauguration Day 2017 and then just been quiet.
We’re taking about someone who bankrupted four (4!) casinos. Some of them multiple times.
He might be a successful grifter (though that’s probably more due to luck and being a useful and extremely easy to buy or convince puppet than any kind of talent), but a shrewd businessman he’s most definitely not.
Yeah because 'murca has become a facist shithole country and no one wants to vacation in one of those.
also OOPS! soon their country might not have jet fuel for the flight
Why would anyone come here? Even white tourists have been detained. God forbid a person of color come here, they may not make it home.
It’s not safe here.
I have to go for work. Wish me luck…
Stay safe friend! Be careful out there!
Last time I was there, the yanks I was with saw a cockroach outside and freaked out by how big it was.
Here in Australia we call those small.
Also, it’s Denver, so I’m guessing safer than most states
Not sure ICE has been more aggressive in liberal states. It’s a beautiful state though.!
Exactly. I’ve always wanted to come back to the US for another vacation, but I won’t. Not with the current government.
This is what happens when you overprice the fucking tickets. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Fucking pieces of shit.
Also garbage, third-world country that no one wants to travel to unless they have to.
Also the anti foreigner death squads
I think it’s also because it’s hosted in a third world country that’s unsafe to travel to.
i think its likely due to all the ice raids early in Jan, and the knob gobbling by infantio.
By contrast, Airbnb has said the World Cup is to be “the biggest hosting event” in its history."
When you have an unregulated marketplace like AirBnB the legitimate businesses will loose. AirBnB rentals destroys neighborhoods and kills hotels
Hotels suck in comparison to renting a place. Renting may be causing other problems but it isn’t like they bring nothing to the table. If hotels didn’t want to lose out then maybe they should have stopped charging $300/night for a closet with a shitty bed in it.
Yeah, lets hear you out when the residental house next door has new people in every week treating it as a hotel. Think of the average hotel guest you have experienced? Yeah that one EVERY week.
Luckily my municipalityv/(Norway) will strike down hard on zoning violations if you run a commercial operation in a residential area.
The initial idea was brilliant. Occasionally renting out a room in you house/flat. Or renting out a few weeks when you are yourself on vacation. But now that it’s businesses buying up housing and running them as hotels
You’re right, but that doesn’t make hotels suck any less
Plus $40 for parking! That’s not included!
Honestly, as an American, who in the fuck would want to come here and risk being shot by an government representative or sent to an internment camp for watching football?
I heard El Salvador is nice
Lifelong football fan, fuck fifa fuck the world cup. Ill be at the park volunteering soccer coaching for local youths while the fascists have their epstein files distraction cup.
How could this happen tho? It’s not as if the country became a shithole with a gestapo arresting and sending to concentration camps to anyone that is not a clear white straight usian…
Why would I want to risk being arrested or worse to see a soccer match? But also, why the hell would I want to give a single cent to a country that’s objectively making the lives of everyone in this world worse?
That and the tickets are absurdly expensive. So I go to the jail and go broke?
The AirBnB/VRBO owners in Seattle seem to think they hit pay dirt with the World Cup qualifier match there next month. I’ve had two hosts in a row claim they have ‘emergency repairs’ to do there that weekend (nearly two months after the day I booked) and demand that I cancel my reservation, so they can relist it at double the price.
I’m planning a birthday trip there that just happens to fall on the same day and it’s been a huge pain in the ass. One of the owners even called me pretending to work for VRBO then argue with me on the phone about why I need to cancel the reservation on my end. I spoke to customer service and forced the hosts to cancel in their end, which locks them out of relisting the property during that time. The above mentioned host had to claim “the property was sold,” according to my cancellation email, then presumably relist it under a new account but without any history or reviews.
Fuckin lobsters.
I mean vultures. Same thing really.
Those animals at least contribute to the circle of life. These hosts are parasites. Cancerous.
There are a lot of stupid football fans out there, but few are stupid enough to disregard their own safety.
There are few things i would try to avoid more than visiting the US.
Gympie-gympie tree, maybe, but I’d have to think about it.
…
Nah, I’m fairly certain I’d take the pain tree.
It’s also referred to as the “Suicide Plant”, given the, well, suicides…
