What a coincidence...I also quit LARPing when it became apparent that I was going to become bankrupt if I continued it. The difference, of course, was that I was fully aware that I had no power or authority and that it was all make believe.

Please say from a cannon.
For the record, I personally love meeting and engaging with tourists, telling them about great places to check out in my town...I'd rather share time and space with a foreigner than a member of the Shit-Flinging Orangutan Cult any day. But I fully support a top-to-bottom boycott of this whole-ass country by the rest of the world. Bring our economy to its knees, please. Americans need a whole damned lot of humility.
Will it not come to fruition?
Are you still attempting to influence that adage becoming well-understood by the common man? I dare say that I don't believe that will come to pass.
I have known a couple who were anti-US when they went in. One had very few other options financially, and the other figured why not get their education on the country's dime, get trained on how to be stronger and how to fight, and then use those talents to do their part in bringing down the system once they got out. Even while they were in, they were training people on the outside. One of their trainees was a top operative in Seattle in 2020; they kept the cops at bay in the Capitol Hill Autonomized Zone (CHAZ) for a month.
Keep in mind, I'm not saying don't be wary of enlisted people...definitely be wary. Just don't paint with such broad strokes. Some have needs, some have reasons, and some are in the process of becoming radicalized.

It opened in 1931 and underwent a major renovation in 1997. Apparently, the water usage is sustainable (see below), but it still doesn't excuse the fact, in my mind, that continuing to support the upkeep of a green-ass golf course at the edge of Death Valley shows how out-of-whack its patrons are with the changing climate.
"In an area as hot and dry as Death Valley, balancing water usage with conservation requires significant planning. Furnace Creek and its namesake resort exist in their location because natural spring water flows from nearby mountain ranges to create an oasis. By routing the water from one point to others, the resort’s goal is to use the same molecules of water for several purposes. The spring-fed water is first used at the Inn to irrigate gardens and supply the swimming pool which was designed with a flow-through system that minimizes chemical use. That water then continues downhill to the Ranch where it fills the ponds on the golf course, providing habitat for local and migratory wildlife. The water in the ponds then irrigates the golf course." - How Xanterra’s Furnace Creek Resort is Sustainable, greenlodgingnews.com

"Nikki Haley says she'll vote for Trump.
The former South Carolina governor's remarks were her first on the matter since she dropped out of the presidential race. But she stopped short of formally endorsing her former rival." - npr.org

With RepubliKKKans, the cruelty is the point. The governor of Texas signed a bill a couple years ago that made it so that, iirc, construction workers were no longer required by law to be given water breaks. There are 60 days in Dallas, TX per year with an average high temperature at least 97 degrees Fahrenheit. I remember one stretch about 20 years ago in Austin where the temperature was 100+ for 30 days in a row.
