[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spent time travelling this summer around the good old US of A. And man, was it depressing. Everyone in their own world, jobless or working too many jobs because one job doesn’t pay great. People cutting way back. A general apathy and hopelessness for the future. People now talking about AI taking jobs which is interesting because the blame used to be immigrants. The feeling that God has failed them and that we are still heading in the wrong direction. It will never be the same I guess. The reality of everything is in front of us. The blinders are off. And when I spoke with people it seemed that most people were just giving up. Anyone else traveling around and seeing or hearing any of this?[/quote]

Since March I’ve been to Paris, Dublin, Dallas, NYC, Chicago, OBX and Cape Cod. I saw none of what you describe above. Do you travel alone? I’ve never had the time or inclination to delve into the mental and financial health of complete strangers. I most definitely wouldn’t be able to discern the spending habits of the people that inhabit the places I’ve been. It sounds like you’re staying in homeless shelters.

OP just said they spent time traveling around, not necessarily being a tourist. We don’t know what areas they went to or why, but it’s relevant. Of course things are going to look different if you’re traveling for pleasure with money to insulate you from the locals trying to make ends meet. [/quote]
