No shit, fuck around and find out.

Good. I hope thousands of landlords can’t afford their extra homes and are forced to sell, driving down housing prices.

[–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

They will only be replaced by richer landlords

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, private capital can just roll in and buy it all up, great!

[–] GoodOleAmerika@lemmy.world 16 points 6 hours ago

Nice. Hope tipping system goes away.

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 9 points 5 hours ago

All patriotic Americans should only vacation within the US or pay a holiday tariff to do so abroad!

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 29 points 9 hours ago

I live in a major tourist city, and the word around town is that there will be a steep decline from foreign visitors, but many are still coming anyway, because they've had their vacations booked for months, and it's too late to change.

But if this keeps up, next summer will be a bloodbath.

[–] TonyOstrich@lemmy.world 41 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Let's fucking go! Keep it up everyone, make people here really see and feel the consequences.

I'm under no illusion that anyone who voted for this will "feel bad" or regret their vote. As we have been seeing the people who voted for this do not regret their decision perse. However, the hate that fuels them will only take them so far. If things get bad enough quick enough they might be able to remember it the next time (if there ever is one). I think the cult following of Trump and their emotional sunk cost fallacy won't let them see that voting for Trump was a bad idea, but there is a small chance they will recognize and reject it in whoever comes next.

I'm under no illusion the above will actually happen, I just think it's the best that can be hoped for.

I work with some of those "haters". They will never blame Trump. Even when their wallets are getting hurt, they will just blame Democrats and the world.

One haters I work with worship Trump and she is an Asian. How ironic

[–] Liberal_Ghost@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 hours ago

Same here. Everyone I work with is pretty MAGA. They all suck

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 40 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I'm happy because this will hurt Florida's crappy economy the most.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 18 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Florida is a shitty place to visit anyways, it's all mosquitos.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 4 points 3 hours ago

The mosquito is the state bird of Florida.

[–] Neverbeaten@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Mosquitos interrupted by daily rain and a hurricane or two every year.

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Not to mention the sinkholes. And anacondas and alligators and that crazy slug that eats houses or some shit. And worst of all, the Floridians

[–] reiterationstation@lemm.ee 7 points 9 hours ago

Maybe people will finally stay the fuck out of that state.

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemm.ee 27 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. As an American, I hope America falls into a depression.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 14 points 9 hours ago

I hope it ends with a Green New Deal

[–] reiterationstation@lemm.ee 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

What a shit situation that they have Americans hoping their own country fails.

I absolutely do not hope for a depression. You will NEVER see small business again. You will NEVER own a house. Our future will be utterly gone.

What we need is what can’t be said.

America First Policy

I dont think thats the issue buddy. Its the "America is now Fascist" Policy that makes people not want to visit.

[–] BlackSheep@lemmy.ca 9 points 8 hours ago

Fear of being held and questioned, fear of getting an unplanned trip to El Salvador, fear of kangaroo court systems…

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I think people would visit even if we were fascist. The thing keeping everyone away is the significantly greater than zero chance that you and your family might get picked up by ICE and questioned under duress for several days simply for trying to visit Disney World.

[–] KelvarIW@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 8 hours ago

Well, that's a key part of the fascism. Obviously Europeans vacationing at the House of Mouse didn't care what the social services were like in the USA, or how affordable homes were, or what Disney employees had unions. But a country like the USA that follows no moral code is not a safe place to be in, period.

Trump is enacting his isolationist worldview through his trade war, and using secret police effort to terrorize and abduct non-citizens. This is going to isolate and ward off foreign business and visitors. No surprise there.
