    Everyone needs a job to survive in this world. Workout actually, yes. Because it’s not a problem. It’s people complaining about their way of life. Most would not be able to live in those areas without something like that.

      false equivalency much?

      and most still can’t live there anyway, they just have a job while not being able to afford living there

      almost like you have zero actual experience living in a tourist town and ignored the point in the first post in favor of vomiting your opinion all over the place

      anyway until you either admit you have no idea what you are talking about personally other than being a tourist or name an actual city you lived in with real direct experiences I’m done

        Yes I have been a tourist in many many cities and I’ve seen the effect of industries. I’ve also traveled to many of the cities off the beaten path that have no tourism and have no other industries and I have witnessed how they’ve died. I was born and raised in a very small town in rural Nevada that is reliant solely upon the mining industry. I watched the ups and downs of that and I watched them trying over the last 20 years since I’ve left there try to become a tourist town and trying to encourage other industries because they realize that they have to do something and there’s no other industries out there that want to be there want to move there want to stay there and people don’t want to live there. Because there is nothing there to keep them.

        Edit: also very few can afford to live in that town either the cost of living is skewed unless you are working at the mine, 12 hours a day, underground. Tourism isn’t the only thing that destroys towns

          you’re right for sure it’s not

          both situations are evil

          it’s the exploitation, the extreme fucking over the people living and working there so the ownership class can make a few more dollars

              lol I actually gave you credit for having some empathy, hence my reply and then you go and prove my first impression correct

              blind rich entitled fucktard

              I don’t know what else a sane man would call unbridled capitalism that wrecks entire towns in the name of profit but regardless I have zero need to read anything else from you

              have a block

                  I love how you don’t dispute the “blind entitled fucktard” portion.

                  And rich people always try to pretend they’re middle class when defending their behavior to the poor.
