I've been all over the states, I'm not being naive at all; blue states are better than red, but still fucked compared to the rest of the world. Definitely not worth visiting and supporting with your dollary-doos cause red states get 36% (on avg) of their budget from federal tax money.

There's a million better places to travel to than the states folks.

I swear to god if one more person says but muh grand canyon trip... its marketing folks. And there literally isnt enough drinking water (none outside the town) to support the residents let alone tourists. Visit Copper Canyon in Mexico instead and support their tourism industry. There's even a train! El Chepe
