    I remember just a few months ago bars and clubs being super packed and now there's hardly anybody at them. What's going on?

    Edit: I'm in the Los Angeles area

    I've noticed that general traffic in the Central Florida area, where traffic is usually among the very worst on the entire East Coast, has been much lighter lately.

    We know that cops are profiling people, and pulling over Hispanics for false reasons, so my speculation is that people are staying off the roads except when absolutely necessary.

    I also believe that Hispanic parents are telling their kids to stay in the house with their friends, and not go out and drive around. Remember when you were a teen, and would drive all day because at least you were out of the house and away from the parents? If those kids get in some trouble, it could easily find its way back to the parents, and the next thing you know, the entire family is on its way back to Honduras. So parents are warning their kids of the serious consequences of even a minor issue.

    I think a lot of people are laying low.

      Fewer tourists from other nations would be a contributing factor. ICE in general may be more. Perhaps economy isn't as great as our Fuhrer wants us to think.

          Tourism would be a thing, yeah.

          Who in their right minds would go visit the US, knowing full well you might end up in a torture prison for a year just because you wanted to have a week of fun in the US?

            Private school charging 40k per annum is not turning profit?

            Out of state public school tuition also doesnt make money?

            Where is the money going?

              Most private universities provide significant aid to students; they actively engage in price discrimination.

              Out of state tuition earns more than in-state, but there are additional fees that foreign students pay.

              As for the money, it goes into a lot of the facilities and university operations. Universities are big clout chasers, so they will try to spend money to increase prestige.

                      not just ice, but border/custom detainment, requiring review of your phone of any anti-trump, anti-zionist material, which already deter tourist, plus canadians dont like trump constant messaging of invading thier country.

                      That's true, international tourism is down across the country, not just domestic tourism.

                        This is capitalism operating as normal, too. It's always in crisis, and it's up to regular working people to bail it out.

                          Ah. Fair enough. The last big budget film I saw in theaters was endgame. During the late stage of it's original run.

                          I think I saw a Neil Breen movie in one since.
