Comment on The Vegas Loop Is Getting Progressively More Stupid
floofloof@lemmy.ca 4 days agoHe mentions the tariffs putting foreign tourists off, but he doesn’t mention the daily news of people being abducted at airports and off the street, disappeared to some secret prison, and perhaps trafficked to some random oppressive country and abandoned. That’s a little offputting.

That is correct. He is talking about something other than that. Things that have been around before trumps purge. The problem with Vegas didn’t just appear when trump took office. What is happening now is making it worse but they have been losing people for over a decade. Things that predate the current situation. I guess it has to touch your personal points to be relevant.

The factors the guy in your video cites are all true enough, and I mentioned some others that he didn’t mention. I’m not contradicting. Also the fact that he talks about tariffs shows that he’s speaking from pretty up to date information.
Mr. Monotone as you call him is talking about the Las Vegas Loop in particular. You added some extra context. So did I. Not sure why you need to get so defensive.

Don’t confuse a response for a defense. I don’t understand why you brought trump and his antics up at all? I certainly didn’t add any context when I posted the video link. I only added ‘extra context’ in response to your off the subject comments about how the video I posted didn’t have the kitchen sink of topics covered.
I did that after your response detailing some imagined omissions from a video that was about Vegas and its decline. Not the orange tumor and his crimes.

The policies of the federal government are one of the reasons why Las Vegas, like the rest of the USA, is suffering decreased tourism. I thought it was relevant.
