We shall see. How many otherwise normal people do you think will turn over their telephones and social media accounts to the USA to attend a soccer game. Would you?

Not in a buzillion years would I hand over any information to the Trump government/DOGE/Peter Thiel. Never.

I think tourism will plummet. Only business travelers who have to come here will come. What an asinine idea, likely birthed in the sick, sick mind of Stephen Miller.

Even business travel is a dicey proposition for the rank and file. Look at what happened to the engineers Hyundai sent here to create jobs for Americans. We’re headed the way of Russia fast, which is what I’m assuming what Russia wanted when they paid for all of this.

Business travelers will be issued special phones and computers, just like we did going to commie countries.
I am not sure I would use my main phone to travel now.

I don't think he cares. He's tanking the US economy with every move he makes.

I think it’s part of his orders. The oligarchs are crashing it all and creating economic uncertainty so that they can divvy it all up. America is for sale.

I am hoping this continues into next summer.

National Parks are overwhelmed with tourists. Best thing to happen is to limit the tourism.

Tourism contributes billions of dollars to the economy and many cities and towns count on the tax dollars brought in by tourism. How is it "America first" to kill the tourist industry? Tourism is considered an export and contributes to the balance of trade.

Lots of small rural towns adjacent to national parks rely overwhelmingly if not exclusively on tourism. And there are a lot of international tourists obsessed with the West. This isn't losing some coins in the couch cushions - this will be a major loss to the economy, especially small businesses.

Aren’t they asking for five years of phone numbers and email addresses though? Even a business traveler uses their personal passport.

Businesses will move entirely to Zoom. I’d rather wake up in the middle of the night to take a meeting than put up with this nonsense,

Business travel is also down. Canadians and Europeans are pushing back against having to attend US based conferences. So yeah…it’s bad.

Don’t worry, they’ll still vote GOP because this is all the Democrats fault.

Not as much as you might think. Palantir will aggregate the names and passwords and then it'll get processed by AI.

You mean that place that Trump is gonna sell back to the Russians? Or maybe China will buy it up if it hasnt already.

Out of curiosity, how much has that hurt the Canadian airlines? Have they made up for it going elsewhere?

Who remembers five years worth of email addresses unless you only had one or two? It's so weird. There are still people out there who also just don't have social media.

I wouldn't bother traveling to the US right now.
