    People are freaking out over the social media … but not the names and addresses of all your family and the DNA sample?

    People have weird priorities, yo!

    US’ tourism boards are screwed, but they don’t know it yet.
    They still think they can lure Canadians over the border with discount vouchers, after the “51 state” threat from their commander in cheetos.

    As a Canadian I used to travel to the USA. They are just a few hundred kilometers away by car. I have friends there. I haven’t been in a while and let my friends know it wasn’t safe for us to go. They are welcome to go to America’s biggest country to visit us instead. Also I don’t use Facebook or Instagram or Snapchat or whatever.

      Why would anyone want to travel to a country with values based on racism, ignorance and obesity. Fascism is just the cherry on top.

      It’s not the only thing, it is simply another straw on the camel’s back.

    I want this to be true, and I have no plans to go back, but ‘ditch’ may be a bit strong. Actually tourism is down 4%-6% according to the article, and that’s definitely a lot if you own a hotel, but not as many people are changing their plans as one would expect/think.

      It’s crazy to me that anyone is still traveling to the USA…

      But my neighbors are taking their kid to Hawaii next month

      Holidays are often booked a few months in advance. I predict this number will be at least doubled next year.

    I’m sure I could get away with not giving my Lemmy records because nobody knows what it is.
