We dont need them, but they need us.
And they know it.
Spend here and travel/vacation here.
Eff them.
Think about what we miss not travelling in our own country.
I could have anyone spending a month in AZ or U.P. of Mi zig zagging back and forth visiting and site seeing and they would never see half.
I used to work an academic schedule for my job. During the summer I would take a three or four week trip across the country. The last one was a solo motorcycle trip to the southwest.
In prior years I would take one of my daughter’s out west, meet my wife and other daughter, and bring the other daughter on the ride back. They have seen more of this country than any of their friends. Seeing these things led to conversations; which led to history lessons; which led to them developing their values and economic views on their world.
I was very fortunate that I could do that. I’ve been stuck in New England since my wife got sick, and she doesn’t feel comfortable with me taking off for three or four weeks at a time. When she retires I hope to get her hooked on my vagrant travel habits.
