RIP what was left of the US tourism industry

tourists? what tourists?

Murica, home of hatred and fear. and home of the spoiled. and the greedy. and the devious. and the self endulged. and the (fill in your favourite bad quality here, it 'll fit)

Not that I would ever set foot in the US but what constitutes Social Media?
rbos@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Yeah, I’d worry that they’d ask for my social media and get confused and angry.
Haven’t been to the USA since 2016, unlikely to ever go again. :(

Seems they got really tired of people bringing burner phones when visiting the USA.

Read between the lines… 100 billion dollar bailout coming to aid the tourism businesses affected by the new rules…
His hotels…
Just like the farmer bailout due to the losses incurred from the tariffs
ikidd@lemmy.world 2 months ago
To be fair, the farmer bailout is a drop in the bucket of what they’re down over lost sales to China and higher fertilizer prices. Like, have the day you voted for and all that, but 12B is 1% of this years military budget.

What’s social media?
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What’s “US tourism”?

And what’s the deal with airline food?
tomkatt@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Something that existed until the beginning of 2025.

This is, technically

Isn’t this more of a messaging board? I don’t think messaging boards are social media.

Dear lord!!! Just tell me what you don’t wanna have, it’s way shorter!
Oh wait … you can’t even pay me to go there! Would an employer demand me to go there, I’d quit on the spot.

dont know who has to hear this but it’s ok to lie to the government.
Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
That is false. Lying to federal agents, investigators, or officials can land you in a world of shit. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 for details.

In context I think they mean morally

I don’t have any history to hand over. Still not going though.

The only way a fascist wins is with isolationism. DON’T let Trump who only represents 1 in 4 people keep you away. These clowns from Trump all the way down to ICE will all be either spending lengthy jail sentences or fodder for fusillade.

Sadly, Palantir will probably find them all and then they’ll accuse you of lying or withholding info.
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
If they already have the info, the n why ask?
Bluewing@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Shouldn’t be hard for anyone from Europe. The EU already wants to monitor all the social media anyway. Plus age restrictions. The Aussie’s aren’t far behind either. And they have age restrictions now.

red state tourism must be taking a hit, if the MSM arnt reporting it.
plyth@feddit.org 2 months ago
I thought that had been required before. What changed?
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
It wasn’t
plyth@feddit.org 2 months ago
Some comment mentioned that this is for visa free visits whereas visa visits already had that requirement.

So fucking annoying of articles to be like “this was published on Tuesday by the federal register and is open for comments” only to not provide a link.
