    I'm guessing a taser sears flesh and leaves a stench like a bug zapper?

    I imagine those guys would've shared quite a few high-fives and laugh riots had they worked at Auschwitz.

    Trump singlehandedly destroyed the tourism industry with his dumbass tariffs and alienating foreign nations...a ton of people hate America now and don't want to visit

    I confirmed this as real.

    Translation: Americans are lazy and entitled, and not hungry enough. But soon enough you'll have destitute Americans asking for work.

    But don't worry, bro, if you can't make it work in the meantime, big Ag will come and take that farm off your hands, nice and cheap. They'll even let you come back and milk the cows you used to own...for a 'fair' wage.

    Driving off the top two countries that send ~1.5m people a year is part of it. Another part is the economy is wreckd by Trump's policies. Corporate greed is the final straw. Check out the thread I started on the Hangout on the decline of Vegas: https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/the-decline-of-vegas.326999/

    It's also CBP. When the U.S. is WORSE than China for visitors - open up your social media and if they find something they don't like, kick you out or worse, detain you and treat you like some drug dealer, no one wants to visit us. While these are isolated incidents, the perception of an authorian state that isn't safe to visit is all that's needed to keep people away.

    The numbers tell you the impact.

    https://www.the-independent.com/new...-tourism-decline-trump-policies-b2782820.html

    The study suggests that the U.S. economy is on track to lose $12.5 billion in international spending this year alone – but the actual shortfall might be much greater.

    Tourism Economics, a division of Oxford Economics, had originally forecast a nine percent increase in foreign travel earlier this year before revising its estimate to reflect “polarizing Trump Administration policies and rhetoric.”

    Based on the research firm’s original projections, the U.S. economy was expected to gain $16.3 billion in revenue, according to an analysis by Forbes. Instead, the total deficit may be as high as $28.8 billion.

    From Gemini (which is clearly anti-Trump ;)):

    Multiple reports from organizations in the travel and tourism industry indicate a projected decline in international tourism to the United States due to various policies and rhetoric. This decline is expected to result in significant job losses.

    • The World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) projects a decline in international visitor spending this year, potentially costing the U.S. economy billions of dollars. This is partly attributed to a drop in visitors from key markets like Canada and Western Europe.

    • The U.S. Travel Association has also warned that a significant drop in Canadian tourists alone could threaten tens of thousands of jobs.

    • Economic modeling by a group called IMPLAN, as cited in several reports, suggests that if current trends continue, the total job losses in the tourism sector could exceed 230,000. These losses would affect a wide range of jobs in industries such as lodging, dining, entertainment, and retail.
    It is worth noting that some reports suggest the U.S. is the only major country projected to see a decline in foreign visitor spending this year, while other countries are experiencing a boom in tourism.
