I am in the hospitality industry and we begin to see a decline in guest's behavior soon after the Covid lockdowns began. We closed one of our two hotels in town and associates we furloughed went from making two to $400 a week gross (based on hours per week) to bringing in $800 in unemployment. Their income doubled to tripled overnight. This was the same for most people in their neighborhood. Add in all the government freebies and they thought they were loaded. They would check into the hotel and a nightmare to deal with.

That is fricking outstanding

Your tax dollars subsidize their basic necessities so they have more disposable income.
And this is what happens with illegals working in America. They work. But the money they earn is sent as remittances to their beloved porta-potties all the while they live off American taxpayer subsidies.

This! Most people cannot begin to comprehend the amount of money that the government quickly distributed in “COVID relief.” All with little to no oversight and recipient qualifications that were very broad or very easy to work around.

We did an Alaskan cruise this summer in celebrity. Totally agree. No issues at all. Not carnival clientele

Only carnival. Go on a better line

It’s not just the cruise ships themselves, if you search the hundreds of travel blogs black fatigue is #1 with a bullet. All those ports of call have the fatigue as well, from Mexico to Jamaica.

It’s not just people in the United States that suffer from Black fatigue. Two years ago, a Black Jamaican women had a video that went viral after she announced that she will no longer rent her vacation homes to ghetto Black Americans.
“They fight late at night with each other, they are disrespectful, entitled, and unappreciative,” she said. “They are that way because America gives them so much free s--- and they feel they can come to Jamaica and get the same free s--- and be nasty about it. Not all of them are like that, but I am not risking my health and happiness for these people.”
