Read between the lines.... 100 billion dollar bailout coming to aid the tourism businesses affected by the new rules..

His hotels...

Just like the farmer bailout due to the losses incurred from the tariffs

Ok, idea, The rest of the world demands access to 5 years of US citizens social media to enter their countries. Deny Nazi/Fash/Maga from leaving the US.

[-] girsaysdoom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Good idea. Let's just do what the fascists are doing. That'll show them!

[-] BeardededSquidward 1 points 59 minutes ago

For the rest of the world it's a smart idea, who would want self proclaimed domestic terrorists into their country?

[-] Trashcan@lemmy.world 1 points 52 minutes ago

A lot of Americans on the right famiously doesnt own a passport and doesn't leave the country. You are more or less playing into their hand..

[-] DeICEAmerica@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

The only way a fascist wins is with isolationism. DON'T let Trump who only represents 1 in 4 people keep you away. These clowns from Trump all the way down to ICE will all be either spending lengthy jail sentences or fodder for fusillade.

[-] Bluewing@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Shouldn't be hard for anyone from Europe. The EU already wants to monitor all the social media anyway. Plus age restrictions. The Aussie's aren't far behind either. And they have age restrictions now.

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 23 points 18 hours ago

If this shit passes, the EU should apply the same rule and when we find a fucking MAGAt, stamp "Entry Denied and Fuck Off!"

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 40 points 20 hours ago

Trying to isolate the country from what used to be our allies, then take away all our rights and turn this degrading shithole into North Korea where the citizens are law bound to kiss their "leaders" ass and pretend it doesn't fucking stink.

krasnov is adhering to PUTINS wishes.

Whether or not the states are being puppeted by Russia holding cards in the form of blackmail, this is exactly the kind of thing they would do to weaken the states

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 10 hours ago

its is the foundation of geopolitics that russia uses.

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 34 points 20 hours ago

It's amazing how much the US doesn't want you to go there, even if it's just to visit.

Despite all the mediocrity, there are some things to see there, but if that's the authorities' attitude (and this here is not the first example of it), yeah, I think I'll skip.

[-] hammertime@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

It’s also to keep people in.

[-] IronBird@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

they really don't seem to realize there's an entire world of places out there to see...

literally, I let my VISA expire and it was hard because I live on the frontier so I'll miss out on a lot of things but it is not worth it

last time I needed to cross the border I was detained for an extra hour (not counting the queue) just because I didn't cross during the pandemic

fuck the US, fuck fascism

[-] berrodeguarana@lemmy.eco.br 10 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

I still remember a trip I took with my parents to Vancouver and Seattle. We are from Brazil.

The difference was night and day, especially the infrastructure, landscape, and the appearance of the people who worked there. Seattle felt much more somber and gray.

The only ones who seemed overtly happy were the waitresses, but since these jobs in the U.S. rely heavily on tips, it felt more like forced role-play to get extra money compared to the more down-to-earth Canadian customer service.

[-] LifeLikeLady@lemmy.world 14 points 20 hours ago

Don't come here is the message they're sending. The US is closed for business.

Isn’t this more of a messaging board? I don’t think messaging boards are social media.

[-] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 1 points 59 minutes ago* (last edited 58 minutes ago)

Tbh I'm not sure. Someone just said once that Reddit is so I kinda thought that made sense at the time.

There is definitely more B's on something like Facebook, I'd agree.

[-] eleitl@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

That would fly well, as a defense in court. Social media are what they say are social media.

Something that existed until the beginning of 2025.

[-] regedit@lemmy.zip 3 points 14 hours ago

And what's the deal with airline food?

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 2 points 40 minutes ago

What

Is up

With that?

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 27 points 1 day ago

yeah, because tourism is doing so well now, we need more reasons to fuck over the industry

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

you know its bad when they dont report how tourism is doing in places like florida, texas. its 1-2 punch , anti-immigration policies has probably affected them severely, and the lack of tourism dollars to those welfare states.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

No idea about Texas. Other than SXSW, I'm not aware of their tourism.

But for FL, Disney didn't bend the knee hard enough. That's a feature.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

I am surprised the tourism industry is taking this so well. I mean Trump and company are literally doing anything they can to kill it off.

[-] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

it comes with the territory. Working in U.S. tourism occaisionally means eating an inordinate amount of shit.

[-] Gsus4@mander.xyz 12 points 1 day ago

Sounds like taliban/fascist strategy: keep people apart and make everyone hate you so you can then claim you're embattled because everyone rejects you.

So fucking annoying of articles to be like "this was published on Tuesday by the federal register and is open for comments" only to not provide a link.

With race-based xenophobia.

[-] falseWhite@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Is anyone really surprised by the further restrictions on the free speech by the fascist regime?

What surprises me is how much Americans are willing to take or how self-absorbed and blind they are as to what is happening.

First it was illegal immigrants. Then any immigrants. Now legal visitors, not even immigrants. Next it will be citizens, absolutely guaranteed.

They are already being targeted by the ICE and the government is working on plans to label citizens as domestic terrorists if they oppose the president.

But yeah, I'm sure using the ICE whistles and honking at the Nazi police as they abduct your family and friends is gonna solve the problem.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 10 hours ago

they are kept complacent, because they still have a job that pays moderate or well off where they live off of, plus the propaganda of the media keeping them mostly ignorant.

[-] candyman337@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

it's so tiring to watch people just not realize the natural progression to all of this, like how can you not see it's gonna be YOU next in a few years when you post on facebook about how you're disappointed about supreme leader trump's tax policy and the secret police show up at your door

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 23 hours ago

Americans are incapable of thinking that far ahead. They will literally scoff at any foresight, like the future is unknowable.

So what happens when you truthfully state "I don't use social media"? Or use any that are mainstream?

Seems like a dumb time to me.

[-] eleitl@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

You have to prove that you don't have accounts with the usual suspects. So, to prove a negative. And that obviously makes you suspicious. Oh, and Lemmy would be considered to be social media.
