    Not only is this a ripoff, but traveling to the United States right now from literally any foreign country is a terrible idea.

    If you get picked up off the street by the secret police, there’s nobody who can come to your aid at that point.

      I’m Canadian, and there’s a work conference in the states in an area I really would have wanted to go to if it were a year ago.

      All expenses paid by the company for a week of travel and schmoozing.

      Still not going.

        Or just come to Canada and die in a fire that was set by the mafia in your egressless airbnb.
