I’m like this as an american who lives in another country. I get that face when i hear english being spoken because the tourists are usually jackasses.

Most tourists are pieces of shit. Locals barely tolerate that shit because of money but you can't ask more.

Ah, Ive seen you've been to Paris.
Tourism represents 3.5% of Paris’s economy. I don't think the city would collapse if it stopped overnight.
A 3.5% economic contraction is really, really bad. The 2008 recession was something like 4%.
Yeah for sure, but I was mostly reacting to the phrasing in the original meme that it's "entirely based" on it. And I still don't think I was lying, it would suck bad but the city wouldn't collapse.

Florida in a nutshell.
In the Netherlands they want to spread out all the Amsterdam tourists around more. There are increasingly more tourists coming to my city now... I hate it. Leave them in the shitty Amsterdam, don't ruin my city. Amsterdam is a city full of self centered assholes and it's a tourism theme park. No harm in leaving it that, way.
It would be fine if they would simply drive the speed limit instead of 10 under, and stopped littering.
I don’t understand why those two things simply aren’t a given.
