LOL turns out that "come see fascism take root in real time" isn't quite the selling point we thought it was
- We are waiting for the uniforms and parades.
  It would help to host the Olympics, or if you can manage, a FIFA World Cup.
  
  a FIFA World Cup
  would fifa deal with the hurdles involved in getting that many foreign brown people into amerikkka?

  Well would you look at that. I'll be pushing my country to boycott them.
Remember when travel bans were put on certain countries because 'terrorism'? I feel like we should put USA on that travel ban list for the security of European citizens.
- I think some countries have already put out travel warnings.
  
  Around a dozen so far, warning people that they might be arrested and deported even with a valid visa. And that trans people basically shouldn't go at all.
- that made sense tho. travel bans reduce the amount of people who would need to be rescued by their own governments. given US treatment of travellers into or passing the US, it would make sense for other countries to issue bans as well to reduce the amount of their own citizens needing rescue from the USA
- Can we include Canada in Europe for that list? I worry it's very unsafe for Canadians (even the pasty ones) to travel to America.
MAGA morons who can't grasp the economic implications of this fiasco:
- I'm pretty sure JD Vance was one of the participants of the RNC/Grindr fiasco
Brain drain plus recession/depression. What a great time to be alive.
This headline sucks. I thought this was going to be something regulatory, but it’s just businesses making decisions based on their demand forecasts.
I wouldn’t want to travel to the US for anything other than business needs right now either, so as demand has dropped the airlines need to refocus on routes that are increasing in demand. This is basic business acumen.
- Heh, I feel like the headline is pretty self explanatory since it lists companies taking action, maybe its the mention of "Europe" that mislead you ?
  In any case I completely agree, political action is much better than capitalism going "our" way for once, just for profit
  
  Naw, it’s a pretty bad headline. It specifically says “Europe freezes US travel”, when travel hasn’t been frozen and Europe as-a-whole didn’t do anything. “European airlines adjust US flight schedules due to reduced demand” would be more accurate.
Theres reports of increase in visits from Asia, and down from europe. In the end its total number of visitors that count and for now i dont think this hurts so much
- Red states are where the pain needs to be felt in order for regular people to change their voting habits. Red states, with the notable exceptions of Florida and a couple of sparsely populated states in the Rocky Mountains, aren't generally known for their thriving tourism industries.
