They can have it. No-go zones at every other subway stop. Gropers abound, at least on NY Eve. Nobody does anything about it. Spare me.

It’s been about 10 years since I wanted to see Europe. The desire has been lost.

Considering current events, there is no Democrat run state that I wish to visit either.

That’s alright. We have much more important things to focus on than taking money away from the U.S.A. with tourism between now and the election.
