Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Travel from Canada, once one of the most reliable markets for visitors, has plummeted this year, with Statistics Canada reporting a 36.9 percent and 25.8 percent drop in air and automobile return trips from the U.S. in July, respectively. In May, the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) projected that the U.S. would be the only country among 184 tracked economies to see a decline in international visitor spending in 2025.

It is verifiable that visiting the United States can lead to state sponsored violations of your human rights.

It is unsafe to go there.

"If we do not turn things around to support the livelihood of millions of workers, and protect the trillions of dollars invested in millions of hospitality businesses, we run the risk of forcing many small and medium business owners to shut down."

Have you considered, perhaps, growing the fuck up as a culture and not jailing random visitors, harrassing anybody with skin darker than milk, and otherwise being general fucking shitheads?

As a culture I mean. I know individuals aren't all necessarily like that. Just enough of them were to put a sociopathic authoritarian into power.

No, no see, we need to disappear more people whose skin is darker than milk because those people make all the tourists feel unsafe!

I would shorten this quote:

“If we do not [...[ protect the trillions of dollars invested [...], we run the risk of forcing many small and medium business owners to shut down.”

If we do not protect the rich, we will force the poor to be unemployed.

The US are right next to North Korea on the list of places I want to visit.

You don't want to go to the 6* hotel in NK? Why not???

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Just not my vibe.

I wonder if Trump is gonna buy up a lot of hotels and farmland with his growing national slush fund then use the tariffs to make money by turning around the tariffs

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

JD Vance has a stake in some farm selling company. Yes, AcreTrader

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 days ago

Oh no. Anyway.

[–] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

Good.

Unfortunately, many MANY hotels around the world are still owned by the same US companies.

[–] Amuletta@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

May the Trump hotels go belly up first.

I'm sure their insane pricing had absolutely nothing to do with it at all. Nope not that pricing.

That may be reducing domestic travel, but it's pretty far down the list of reasons why I won't travel to the USA.
