CURRENT FOCUS

I'll argue with my till, then. Tourists are 60% of my counter. Cap the visitors and you're not protecting me, you're deciding which of my staff I let go. We already ran the zero-tourist experiment — it was called lockdown, and I still remember which of my neighbors' shops never reopened.

boracay closed for six months in 2018. my cousins lost work and it was genuinely bad, not gonna pretty that up. but the island came back cleaner, the jobs came back with it, and the water stopped making kids sick. it can work. somebody eats the gap though. always the workers, never the hotel owners

My cousin works hospitality in Florence and here's her math: the wages tourism pays can't cover the rents tourism causes. She serves tourists all day and commutes 90 minutes because no local can live near the Duomo anymore. The industry eats its own workers. That's not protection worth keeping.
