    It’s appropriate that corporate barons in airlines, hotels and restaurant industries that have long funded Republicans for deregulation and union busting and poverty wages. They’re now getting the full side of the coin which includes:

    • their chosen party destroying perceptions of safety and desirability to popular tourist destinations by claiming they are warzones while he deploys precious military resources to create said zones,
    • their chosen party arresting, deporting and discouraging the employment base of hotels and restaurants. No one else is going to do the work.
    • their chosen party doing incalculable damage to the reputation of the US higher education system and it’s reputation by removing science and academic freedom norms by trying to politicize science, admission and revoke the first amendment.
    • their chosen party during travel into dystopian reality where social media accounts, your sexuality or your political beliefs determine how or whether you may be admitted to the US.

    Airlines will be devastated with reduction in local (poverty wages, can’t afford flights) and international travelers. Hotels will suffer as they should. I hope restaurant owners are decimated.

    Have the economy and society you voted for you greedy, selfish, disgusting fucks.

      the US higher education system and it’s reputation

      While I wholeheartedly agree with your comment, I cannot help but notice the irony in that particular bit.

        It’s similar to the irony of Google’s keyboard autocorrect inserting an error when the user knows better. I typed all that on mobile and even got bullets to format, I’m proud!

      Whole list of things where the rules were put in for a reason, but people forgot the reasons, and now they want to get rid of them. Sometimes while calling GK Chesterton a conservative intellectual and forgetting about his fence analogy.

      Why, yes, it was all shaving the sharpest edges off of capitalism. It was the only way this system could even possibly work, and they’re dismantling it.
