We are holding off on big spending for now. Probably just a lowkey trip this summer to a blue state like VT or CA.
Too much uncertainty with the orange turd in power. |
Better make sure every person, business, etc that you encounter on your trip voted the way you did. ![]() ![]() |
Already on it |
The Canadians already have us covered on that front. https://bsky.app/profile/todmaffin.com/post/3llsgh6zk252h March crossings from British Columbia plated cars to Washington State down 42% versus 2024. |
Do you deny that this a volatile, uncertain time economically? |
People are just holding their breaths waiting for their net worths to be largely wiped out because that no one in power has the guts to restrain the stupid orange moron. Of course people will cut back on their spending and we will soon have another recession, if not a full-fledged depression. |
Disney will be among the last to discount. People are still going in droves. |
Yep. Working on this right now. Cancelling plans for a vacation this summer and maybe just driving to see relatives and go to the beach one day. |
I was just in Florida for work. Hotels, restaurants and Disney are missing the Canadians, who for obvious reasons, have decided to go elsewhere. |
Yup, good article in the Miami Herald about it the other day https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/immigration/article302789264.html Turns out other countries and their citizens have agency also. Who knew. |
Yes, I already do this in everyday life, including family. Life is too short to deal with ignorant, racist a-holes. |
Sounds like your family are the real winners here |
Anecdotally, I teach at a high school and our number of international students who visit each spring is way down this year. Only 4 came. This is INCREDIBLY different from other years when we had 30-50 visiting. Apparently the coordinator said they had a lot of trouble generating interest among students in the visiting country because they don’t feel safe coming here. |
How would you even know the difference between a Canadian and an American? |
They are fcking morons. But, sure, let’s call it a win-win. They can live in their alternate reality, free from any facts checking. And we can live without their racism and bigotry. |
