So our premiums should go down, right? /s

Across western PA yesterday. Is this the new trend?

Not really.

Fees and taxes just go to make the airport bigger and subsidize tax breaks for more hotel chains.

The money never actually gets invested in the community and call me crazy but communities should exist for the people who live their not for tourists to use as a public toilet

Charge the original management with the penalties of violation of that plea deal. Have them cover the fiscal penalties personally.

If they can't cover it with liquid cash, liquidate all their assets and make them work at minimum wage, for a minimum of 40h a week (or applicable worker laws) until they can cover that. This debt should be non-dischargible in bankruptcy.

Tbf, Phoenix is a city that shouldn't exist. It is a monument to man's arrogance.

276:0 in favor, too. Look at the world map to find out why everybody can dance around Sweden's application, but Finland's is no joke.

There's lots of reasons, im not Hawaiian so I'm not going to say what is and isn't okay to do on their ancestral land but i think people all just reevaluating things, like do we really need tourist dollars? Especially when the money just goes to some nameless faceless international corporation.

If my money stayed in Phoenix A+ idea, but it doesn't, and it gets tiring watching Midwest Becky come down here and get stupid for a week and tax the fuck out of the infrastructure and pretend like the damage she did is outweighed by the 45$ of taxes we got off of her

You'll be fine. If you're self-aware enough to be worried about being an asshole tourist, you're probably not one.

I use a fake name on Facebook. I had no friends in high school. It's funny because my mom will say she ran into so-and-so at a store from my home town and they remember me. I remember being bullied and made fun of. I don't want to talk to anyone I went to school with. Moved far away and found awesome friends in college.

The answer is higher fees and taxes, along with competent people providing vision and support.

Diamonds are worth shit. This can be manufactured in a lab.

I desperately want those rumors of a new game to be true. Even with the final 1/3 cruelly scrapped, Mankind Divided was a blast. I'll maintain that even the original holds up.

Is that a Dragon Age reference?

I’d spend money on a generator, a canning machine, literally anything else of use. What a waste of money. It’s gross to think someone has enough money to buy this ‘just because.’

That’s disappointing. I was planning a trip to Hawaii next year. But we’re not disrespectful asshats, so I hope it’ll be ok to visit?

Good news, with Newsom's new law against big oil might see some forward progress in politics against such high profits!

I live in Phoenix but it's the same thing nationwide. It's really depressing having your city be treated like a drive through for out of towners to pleasure and comfort themselves in.

They do this under the guise of tourist dollars but the benefits never come back to the city. We don't ever see the new community center or high school tourist dollars bring in, because tourists don't actually bring that much money.

Just look at the Hawaiians begging people not to visit.

I don't know what the answer is but modern tourism just absolutely crushes communities. I hate it
