Who would even want to come to USA at the moment? USA is on the same shit list as most 3rd world countries I wouldn't want to visit even if you pay me.
As someone currently living in this shithole, I'm begging everyone please don't come here. Not for disneyworld or the grand canyon or whatever the fuck. Visit our lovely neighbors to the North.
Visit literally anywhere else, honestly.
Yeah! Everybody go to Alaska!
.........wait.
As an American, I just visited our lovely neighbors to the North. Saw two separate crackheads light up right in plain view, and another who OD'd getting resuscitated on the sidewalk. Don't go to Vancouver.
Still better than anywhere in the US. Everywhere you go there are issues. That's life. Only some places have fascism.
I'll take drug abuse over fascism any day, thanks.
And in all honesty this comment reeks of exactly what right wingers say about visiting big cities in the US while consistently voting to make poverty and drug abuse worse. So excuse me if it rubs me the wrong fucking way to say "Don't go to Vancouver" because you can't handle the realities of poverty driven by late stage capitalism worldwide. Oh no people are struggling and need help. Grow a fucking pair, snowflake. Cry more about seeing other people suffering while you're not.
To add to that, the US is almost certainly responsible for Canada's opioid problem. Don't blame Vancouver.
Nobody:
Literally No One:
Americans for some reason: BLAME CANADA!
Well said, friend
Half the US has about as much or less education than poor people in a third world country.
American here....HEY!!!
looks around
......yeah, ok. Fair enough. Shit's bad right now. Please stay safe and don't come here. Also, don't go to Russia or North Korea.
Yeah guys. We're on THAT list now.
