American policy is tearing apart homes, ruining people’s lives, causing harm to vulnerable people, triggering layoffs and upheaval worldwide, normalizing graft and corruption at the highest levels, and is putting an end the democratic process.
So yes, let’s talk about how some rich tourists feel a bit bad. It’s their struggles that we really need to focus on.
I voted against the orange felon. I don’t expect sympathy, but I also expect to be treated like any other tourist. Really naive to believe that every American is an orange cunt supporter when not even half even came out to vote and only slightly more of those voted orange. Most of his base has never been outside of their state.
You will be treated like other tourist if you behave like other tourists. Other tourists don’t act in denial about their shortcomings. Other tourists don’t think every “foreign person” wants to go to America if they can afford it. Other tourists haven’t been brainwashed from a young age on American exceptionalism and just see it as a country as any other.
Stupid tourists aren’t limited to America though, there are raunchy imbeciles from Australia, UK, and Canada too that leave a mess in other countries. But there are certain cultural tells that make it obvious when someone is American. For example if they get upset when a store doesn’t accept USD cash. Pretty much everyone outside the US knows their money is only guaranteed to be good within their own country.
Yep, have experienced that working retail, they hand you USD, which we convert, and give CAD change. They get irate that they are American and should get USD back…buddy we don’t carry USD or all foreign currency, we are doing you a service by allowing a foreign currency at all, rather than you having to go to a bank first
I struggle to imagine any reason to use cash unless you’re a drug dealer. CCs will convert for you.
? Weird take. Cash is the legal tender. Credit Card is a slippery slope that gets people to overspend and extort fees. Cash is still highly used all over the works for daily transactions, even though google and apple wallet exist. Not every vendor wants MC/Visa to have a 4% cut of their sales either .
if you are US American abroad right now just do what tesla owners have done with swapping honda badges on their trunks and hoods so just start sewing Canadian flags onto all your luggage and jackets
pretend to be canadian all you want; it’s still obvious and anyone that has met a canadian will be able to tell the difference.
just like the tesla rebadging. a polished turd is still a turd.
