Las Vegas hospitality workers say they're squeezed by a tourism slowdown they blame on Trump's tariffs, high gas prices due to the war in Iran and the cost of living.

“Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a (year 1995) foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance. As I write, the number-one videocassette rental in America is the movie Dumb and Dumber. “Beavis and Butthead” remain popular (and influential) with young TV viewers. The plain lesson is that study and learning — not just of science, but of anything — are avoidable, even undesirable.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995, page 59
What does that article about Putin from 2013 have to do with Trump or the Ukraine war?
it’s really hard to know where to begin on such a simple one-line question. There are so many low-information upvoters and voters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_information_voter There are so many possibilities of what you do not comprehend or understand. Let me try to get some baseline here:
I mentioned several times in my comment the private jet flight on November 8, 2013 - which comes before the “that article about Putin from 2013” - have you studied the flight records and owner of the private jet?
Timing. November 8, 2013 weekend Trump goes to Moscow. December 2013, the linked article discusses new International movement and “Call to power” all across the world. February 20, 2014 is when the Ukraine hot war started. After the softening up (of minds on WWW) by the Internet Research Agency almost all of year 2013.
The December 20, 2013 article starts “Vladimir Putin is calling on the conservatives of the world to unite — behind him.” - Do you understand that Donald Trump is a world leader conservative?
Are you familiar with the Internet Research Agency revelations https://www.facebook.com/konstantin.rykov/posts/10210621124674610 by Константин Рыков from November 12, 2016? “Настало время замечательных историй. Расскажу вам о том (теперь уже можно), как мы с Дональдом Трампом приняли решение освободить Америку и сделать её снова великой. На это нам понадобилось целых 4 года и ещё 2 дня. Всё началось ночью с 6 на 7 ноября 2012 года.”; “Дальше оставалось только загрузить эти данные в информационные потоки и социальные сети.”
Or is it some other comprehension issues? Again, I am not sure where to begin on such a complex issue and topic.
That article is an opinion piece not real journalistic reporting, Don’t you think if Donald Trump was uniting behind Putin he’d be supplying him with billions in arms, instead of giving billions in arms and other aid and being the main supporter of his adversary Ukraine?

Facebook is not a reliable source. Are you familiar with the revelations about Eglin AFB being the US equivalent to the IRA ‘bot/troll army’?
You’re just throwing out random things, do you have an overall cogent point?
lol peep this guys post history, completely unhinged russiagate brain soup. It’s like BMF posting if BMF was a liberal who has been spiraling ever since the 2016 election.
Damn, yeah I’m wasting time they’re completly BlueQ-Consumed
What the hell is “Blue-q”? Some fiction fantasy shit you read on Lemmy and Reddit? Musk Twitter?

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back. So the old bamboozles tend to persist as the new ones rise.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995, page 241.
People who believe in Qanon conspiracies with a liberal bent, such as Russiagate i.e. despite all the evidence to the contrary such as Trump supporting Ukraine militarily against Russia, they still insist the ‘Agent Krasnov’, Steele Dossier bullshit is real
Agreed, once you defer your critical thinking to western billionaires and their owned ‘journalistic’ outlets(the same that insisted that the Curveball evidence Saddam had WMDs were true, when it was clearly false e.g. whole passaged of it were lifted from the script for the rock(1996)), you’ve given Western billionaire charlatans power over your thinking instead of applying critical thinking to ever piece of media you consume no matter the source

QAnon is fantasy fiction mythology. It is not fact-based science. It appeals to meme cultists who are attracted to Spiderman, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and other fiction addictions. Cult addicts to fiction. Who adore Truth Social Donald Trump because he is a fiction fantasy storyteller. Anti-science anti-reality.
Left vs. Right
I do not support all the mindsets of 1-bit binary bi-polar thinking of “left vs. right”. The terms “right-wing” and “left-wing” originated in France during the French Revolution in 1789. King of France: Right-wing Bible Jesus fiction fantasy storytelling of God from the Levant year 1789.
“Quant à moi, je ne vois pas dans la religion le mystère de l’incarnation, mais le mystère de l’ordre social; elle rattache au ciel une idée d’égalité qui empêche que le riche ne soit massacré par le pauvre. La religion est encore une sorte d’inoculation ou de vaccine qui, en satisfaisant notre amour du merveilleux, nous garantit des charlatans et des sorciers: les prêtres valent mieux que les Cagliostro, les Kant et tous les rêveurs d’Allemagne.” - March 4, 1806 as reported in Opinions de Napoléon sur divers sujets de politique et d’administration, recueillies par un membre de son conseil d’état.
The real concern is fiction vs. nonfiction. Fox News HDTV is fiction. Reddit cult is fiction addicts. Twitter cult is Elon Musk fiction addicts. Etc. Truth Social is fiction fantasy media. MAGA church fiction fantasy leadership. Israel Torah fiction fantasy leadership.

In no way I adore Trump or any other neoliberal US leader, you’re strawmanning because you narrative falls apart if I’m not a trump fanatic
Russiagate, the Steele dossier are also fiction, you’re addicted to them and adore their liberal proponents
You need to be critical of all leaders especially in the US
