Comment on The Vegas Loop Is Getting Progressively More Stupid
floofloof@lemmy.ca 4 days agoThe 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.

I thought it was way more relevant how the casinos had changed the rules of the games and had altered the odds too far in their favor. How they had raised prices on food and tacked on so many extra fees at their hotels that people had stopped coming. Sure trump had some effect but all in all they did it to themselves. Not every failure is the result of the current political climate. They priced themselves out of the market. There are far too many casinos for people to get ripped off at near their homes to bother going to a over priced desert. Everyone know that musks loop nonsense was to keep high speed rail from becoming a reality.
