“Steve Hill, LVCVA president and chief executive officer, said there are at least two factors behind the recent trend. First, people are staying home to make their money go farther. Second, federal policies are making travel much more expensive for international visitors.”

Fuck these idiots just don’t get it. It’s because nobody wants to visit a shithole fascist state. Just like nobody wants to visit North Korea.

The Aria hotel in Vegas sold 1L bottles of water for $25. Foreign visitors are saving so much money by boycotting USA.

Let's see, immigration enforcement has scared away a huge number of foreign people from visiting and inflation is not only getting worse but if Agent Orange has his way with the Fed its going to spiral out of control so bad the dollar might not even be worth the paper its printed on so people are hoarding their pennies like there's no tomorrow.

I wonder why the capital of disposable income is doing so poorly? 🤔
