Trump is a hotel owner.

Destroys tourism.

Yeah because 'murca has become a facist shithole country and no one wants to vacation in one of those.

Why would anyone come here? Even white tourists have been detained. God forbid a person of color come here, they may not make it home.

It’s not safe here.

Honestly, as an American, who in the fuck would want to come here and risk being shot by an government representative or sent to an internment camp for watching football?

Why would anyone want to travel to a fascist police state run by pedophiles? How is that fun? They’ve already said they are going to have their state sponsored terrorist police at airports looking through your phone to make sure you support the fundamentalist colonialist state of Israel and their genocide and to make sure you support king pedo and the fuck around gang or you could just go on a vacation to literally anywhere else and not have to deal with this clown show

How could this happen tho? It's not as if the country became a shithole with a gestapo arresting and sending to concentration camps to anyone that is not a clear white straight usian...

Why would I want to risk being arrested or worse to see a soccer match? But also, why the hell would I want to give a single cent to a country that's objectively making the lives of everyone in this world worse?

Lifelong football fan, fuck fifa fuck the world cup. Ill be at the park volunteering soccer coaching for local youths while the fascists have their epstein files distraction cup.

I have to travel to 'Murica every few months

I'm loving the fact that the exchange rate has gotten better for me by a significant margin, that hotels are offering cheaper rates because they have rooms empty that would otherwise be full and that places are less busy with tourists

I feel for the people who didn't vote for Trump, but for those who did, and for those who could have voted against him but didn't, they can suck the farts right out of my arsehole

The AirBnB/VRBO owners in Seattle seem to think they hit pay dirt with the World Cup qualifier match there next month. I've had two hosts in a row claim they have 'emergency repairs' to do there that weekend (nearly two months after the day I booked) and demand that I cancel my reservation, so they can relist it at double the price.

I'm planning a birthday trip there that just happens to fall on the same day and it's been a huge pain in the ass. One of the owners even called me pretending to work for VRBO then argue with me on the phone about why I need to cancel the reservation on my end. I spoke to customer service and forced the hosts to cancel in their end, which locks them out of relisting the property during that time. The above mentioned host had to claim "the property was sold," according to my cancellation email, then presumably relist it under a new account but without any history or reviews.

This is what happens when you overprice the fucking tickets. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Fucking pieces of shit.

There are few things i would try to avoid more than visiting the US.

There are a lot of stupid football fans out there, but few are stupid enough to disregard their own safety.

Good, that’s the only thing those MAGAts even begin to understand.

Fuck the world Cup, fuck FIFA, fuck giving Nazis tourist dollars. At least a few people feel like their integrity is worth more than watching a game.

Good. We deserve it.

By contrast, Airbnb has said the World Cup is to be "the biggest hosting event" in its history."

When you have an unregulated marketplace like AirBnB the legitimate businesses will loose. AirBnB rentals destroys neighborhoods and kills hotels

Another insightful behind-the-scenes USA perspective from me:

Good fuck 'em.

🤣🤣🤣

World Cup hasn’t started yet idk wtf they were expecting. On top of prices and inflation being out of control people are waiting as long as possible to buy. Airfare alone is up like 200%

isnt it because of all the ICE RAIDS that have largely dropped from the msm, at least from LA because of the world cup. too late, people are already aware of it.

Oh well, fuck 'em.

Lemmy!? Where the fuck is the "Paywall" - "here ya go" thread? Yah slacking?

Oh well!! Next!! Enjoy hegemonic decline wankees!

Love your myth in USA, where everything is booming! Everything is going so well, is so cheap to live and everything is amazing! Now that the world Cup starts, everything will be even more amazing!

anecdotally I have an Irish friend who, for years, would travel to the US for vacations, Disney for the kids, the wole shebang- he has a good business & has done well.

2 years ago was their last trip, absolutely sky rocketing prices, the food quality in the shitter and extortion tipping soured him....and he can afford it... I doubt the average world cup travel fan is raking in the cash to lay out for this....it's abysmal.

idiots

Yeah, funny how no one wants to go watch football in a shithole country that seemingly can't stop itself from shitting up the rest of the world.
