'Murica! (108 Viewers)

[ALC]

I also cancelled my plans to spend 3 weeks during summer in US and catch at least a jj game in the club world cup. Total 5 people. Also cancelled another trip later in the year.

Just realized this means it’ll be easier to get World Cup tickets. I’m not mad about it.

What are they going to do about protesters who are not foreigners? Surely their free speech is protected by the law

I'd be curious to see what it's going to look like in a year's time. With all that's happening so quickly, I see it looking like a completely different country by then

Free speech is protected by law for everyone in the US, regardless of whether you are a citizen or not. At least it used to be.

Who does Denmark need to protect Greenland against? Us? Fucking goddamn shitbags.

It certainly is. None of these students are charged with anything. Their immigration/visa status is being revoked since it doesn’t require any due process.
You may not be able to throw them in prison, but you can make their lives miserable to dissuade them. Classic bully tactic in the third world countries, and now America apparently.

I made people miss games by reporting streams to be taken down.

But my most effective way of making you miss games will be when I report you to ICE. Since they don’t check if someone is legal or not I just need to report you and at minimum they will hold you for a few hours lol

I have seen all of this before, but in Hindi

Trump’s executive order asks for proof of citizenship to vote, excluding birth certificate as one. Only half of American have passports and it takes 6 weeks and $130 to get one.

I cancelled plans to go to the US this year as well. So did two of my friends.

It's a bit hard to say for me just how important tourism is in the US. There's a lot of internal tourism too obviously. But I'm thinking this is going to add up and will lose some people their job. Then there's the tariffs making life generally more expensive in the US.

I just don't see how the US is going to benefit from any of this.

Don't worry, lots of Russian tourists are incoming.

The poor whites don’t have passports either. Most of MAGA doesn’t have passports. They’re too poor and stupid to want to even apply for one. Many of them haven’t even been out of their own state or surrounding area. We don’t want them voting or traveling as well.

What happens when they instead just move them from China to India?

You’re gonna pay a lot more for cars and pretend it’s a good thing?

You were already paying more for everything with Sleepy Joe.

You clearly didn’t see the video. It’s USA returning to be Self Sufficient, you said cars in general however it pertained to imports, not domestic cars as of now.

Toyota and other import manufacturers are currently investing in manufacturing plants in America due to the incentives they get for by building it here and with the new tariffs in place. We can hold out as it only effects our GDP by little over 2% while other nations take major hit on their GDP, they wouldn’t last on a tariff war. Ref. 1:48 on the video.

No it’s cars AND car parts. Even domestic cars are not fully manufactured in the US. About 60% of the parts are imported. And it’s gonna take years to build a supply chain in the US that was built over decades.
Also do you understand that this shit is on top of all the inflation in the past 5 years? It’s a genuine question since you started your post with “you were fine with …”. Even if I was, why should you be ok with paying more for cars?
Oh you can hold out. Good for you.

Thank God I bought my car last year.

I assume you're trying to call me a faggot or something, or that I want to run over little kids. Keep in mind the person shooting the video probably wouldn't accept you in his community either, because obviously you aren't white. He has that southern twang that a smart person wouldn't want to associate with. And notice how he didn't stop to help the victims. You're a dumbass following a Russian Israeli account.

Canadian tourists alone spent $24 billion in the US in 2023. We’re already seeing a drop to COVID shutdown lows in Canada to US travel. All international tourists combined spent about $215 billion in the US in 2023. A 70% reduction would be a pretty big loss.

Lmao this guy wants to live in North Korea.

. We can hold out as it only effects our GDP by little over 2% while other nations take major hit .

Who is this we you are referring to? Is it you personally or the American people? I promise you the American people cannot hold out with price increases and layoffs as result of tariffs and reduced tourism at all when a significant percentage are living pay check to pay check.

And since social services are being gutted by doge, expect even more Americans to suffer.

So who is holding out? If it’s you but 4 of your neighbours are suffering. Who is winning here?
