Or directed by US air traffic control into a collision with another plane.

If you go, just make sure you haven't got anything even mildly critical on your phone or laptop.

So stay in Europe, tell Trump to get lost AND help save the Planet ... !

And why supporting the US economy anyway?

Plenty of things to see and do in Europe anyway.

Damn: "Four months ago the research group Tourism Economics, part of Oxford Economics, predicted a 9 per cent increase in visitors to the US in 2025. That is now expected to be a 9 per cent decline."

impossibl3blue.bsky.social•2 days ago

Think they’ve already exceeded the 9% decline based on current 30%+ decline from many countries. And that was for already planned / paid for travel. Who would plan to go there now?

jnovkov.bsky.social•2 days ago

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the numbers are worse, nor would it surprise me if we're nowhere near the bottom yet.

to be fair, being confronted with hog men who want to harm you is part of an authentic ecperience of America

Meanwhile Murkins can’t leave

Not welcome there

Afraid to return here

jmcara.bsky.social•2 days ago

I don’t think either you or any of your regular BlueSky chums would be wise to consider such s bargain.

ehijacked.bsky.social•2 days ago

I wouldn’t visit the USA now if the tickets were free!

susanglh.bsky.social•2 days ago

I wouldn't either.

casmilus.bsky.social•2 days ago

Let's apply some game theory...

kentindell.bsky.social•2 days ago

Your average Brit is up for a bargain at any price.

eekyrich.bsky.social•2 days ago

your average anyman in most countries aint watching the politcal news that closely

shadowhedgie8.bsky.social•2 days ago

sure but enough stories about your countrymen being detained for weeks at the border and it starts breaking through

kentindell.bsky.social•2 days ago

And even when they do, they're still not paying attention: "Mr Belton says his family have considered cancelling their trip to the US due to the potential risks, but they are going to monitor how the story develops."
