Good. I hope thousands of landlords can’t afford their extra homes and are forced to sell, driving down housing prices.
They will only be replaced by richer landlords
Yeah, private capital can just roll in and buy it all up, great!
Nice. Hope tipping system goes away.
All patriotic Americans should only vacation within the US or pay a holiday tariff to do so abroad!
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.
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
Same here. Everyone I work with is pretty MAGA. They all suck
I'm happy because this will hurt Florida's crappy economy the most.
Florida is a shitty place to visit anyways, it's all mosquitos.
The mosquito is the state bird of Florida.
Mosquitos interrupted by daily rain and a hurricane or two every year.
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
Maybe people will finally stay the fuck out of that state.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. As an American, I hope America falls into a depression.
I hope it ends with a Green New Deal
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.
Rhymes with schmevolution
America First Policy
I dont think thats the issue buddy. Its the "America is now Fascist" Policy that makes people not want to visit.
Fear of being held and questioned, fear of getting an unplanned trip to El Salvador, fear of kangaroo court systems…
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.
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.
