“Tourists don’t care if it’s the Martians. They just want to be safe. If you think politics is involved in their decisions you’re delusional.”

Cite one example of a tourist being harmed by the French protests?

None. So their alleged fear is irrational. Yet you call me delusional.

But of course what do you care about the welfare of the French people? It’s all about making a buck off tourism apparently. To hell with the welfare of the people if it interferes with profits. Crush them! Petty and small-minded grub-think. All for what? A selfish and meaningless existence? Raison d’etre : FAIL.

Why not grow a pair and counter the protesters about how they are affecting your profit and comfort? Oh, but then you’re pitted against pensioners who can’t afford to heat their homes because of energy taxes. And you’re worried about tourism optics?

You’ll get over it. Learn to recoup and profit from other venues.

I certainly do. The finance minister called it a catastrophe because he knows it can be delusional, irrational, nonsensical. If they don't want to show up the reason doesn't matter. Tourists in Florida had a much better chance of being killed in an accident driving to the beaches and the theme parks than they did from being crime victims but when the Europeans got the idea in their heads that they were sitting ducks the politicians declared an emergency and took measures to try and get them back.

If you don't think the lost money from tourism isn't going to interfere with the welfare of the people you're out of your mind. If you can't afford to heat your home because of energy taxes you can afford it even less when you don't have a job.

I have a teen-aged niece who is on a school trip to Paris.
They were supposed to be seeing the sights and
experiencing the culture.
Instead they are confined to the school housing
and not allowed to go out.
These riots will hurt France’s future tourist and travel.
