On tRump's trade war:
Canadians account for the most international visits to the United States. A 10% reduction in Canadian travel could mean 2 million fewer visits, $2.1 billion in lost spending and 14,000 job losses, according to the U.S. Travel Association.

even Albania much less money for the value compared with Florida, and also safer!
Dump me? I dumped YOU!
I'll be buying Canadian. Or Mexican. Or any other country's produce etc.
I won't book with any flight that even goes over your country.
I know the innocent will suffer, but maybe it will help you get back on track.
How about Mexico instead of Florida or Vegas?
Guess where most of the aluminium comes from?
Canada.

I also know of an entire cycling group that cancelled their annual trip to NY. Gonna stay in Ontario instead. 75+ of them usually spend $2k+ each on that trip.

Tourism? They don’t understand.
Now, whiskey not sold, grains rotting, a washer and dryer 30% to 50% more expensive, now THAT they understand…
Less tourists hurt blue states, unfortunately…
Hence, here is the lesson:
Alabama is not a monolithic block of trump cult dipshits. It may seem that way to the grossly uninformed.
I clearly stated that “most don’t know”…
And I’m sure you’d agree with that, after you check your ego at the door.
It’s ok to admit it’s a f’d up state. But there’s hope…
One day, in the future…maybe…
Here too I love the western side of the state. The eastern part, let’s just say I wouldn’t ask for directions from them…
Mexico is awesome!!!
