Same here. Canceled my plans for US visits for the near future. Absolutely zero desire to have part in that. Will spend my money elsewhere.


Good. Take your money elsewhere. Urge conference organizers to move venues away from USA. If organizers ignore pleas, then cancel it all together.

I’m American and this administration has set this country back decades. The only way people will rise up here is if their pockets are hurting.

401K accounts are down bad.

Imports of American goods down significantly.

Industries that relied on global trade partners (agriculture?) are getting decimated.

Folks have effectively self owned themselves.


Yep. It's only going to get worse before it gets better, but that's necessary to change the political situation — that's the real "medicine" that we're taking here.

People will only wake up when the economy really hurts. That's why they voted for 47 in the first place, so I hope they're even more awake now.


As an American, thank you.


Your comment could be understood both ways lol


A certain cohort of the population ignores logic and reason, and runs on vibes and tribalism. They will only understand economic pain, when it hurts them personally, based on the evidence. And so, the rest of the world must incur economic pain in the US so the electorate understands its place in the economic system.


Somehow, they will still blame Biden, Kamala and Obama.
