    LOL turns out that “come see fascism take root in real time” isn’t quite the selling point we thought it was

    Remember when travel bans were put on certain countries because ‘terrorism’? I feel like we should put USA on that travel ban list for the security of European citizens.

        Around a dozen so far, warning people that they might be arrested and deported even with a valid visa. And that trans people basically shouldn’t go at all.

      that made sense tho. travel bans reduce the amount of people who would need to be rescued by their own governments. given US treatment of travellers into or passing the US, it would make sense for other countries to issue bans as well to reduce the amount of their own citizens needing rescue from the USA

      Can we include Canada in Europe for that list? I worry it’s very unsafe for Canadians (even the pasty ones) to travel to America.

    This headline sucks. I thought this was going to be something regulatory, but it’s just businesses making decisions based on their demand forecasts.

    I wouldn’t want to travel to the US for anything other than business needs right now either, so as demand has dropped the airlines need to refocus on routes that are increasing in demand. This is basic business acumen.

      Heh, I feel like the headline is pretty self explanatory since it lists companies taking action, maybe its the mention of “Europe” that mislead you ?

      In any case I completely agree, political action is much better than capitalism going “our” way for once, just for profit

        Naw, it’s a pretty bad headline. It specifically says “Europe freezes US travel”, when travel hasn’t been frozen and Europe as-a-whole didn’t do anything. “European airlines adjust US flight schedules due to reduced demand” would be more accurate.

      Red states are where the pain needs to be felt in order for regular people to change their voting habits. Red states, with the notable exceptions of Florida and a couple of sparsely populated states in the Rocky Mountains, aren’t generally known for their thriving tourism industries.
