Las Vegas Mayor Shelley Berkley issued a heartfelt plea to Canadian visitors this week, acknowledging the city’s tourism-dependent economy is suffering from a dramatic decline in international visitors, particularly from Canada, which represents the city’s largest international market.
“As the mayor of Las Vegas, I’m telling everybody in Canada, please come. We love you, we need you, and we miss you,” Berkley said during a press conference this week, where she addressed the multiple challenges facing the entertainment capital’s tourism industry.
The mayor’s latest comments echo concerns she first raised in an August press conference, where she painted a stark picture of the tourism decline.

As callous and deranged as literally allowing an obvious fascist to consolidate power and declare war on those oppose him?

Besides clutching pearls, what else are you planning to do? What is it that you’re waiting for? You’re clearly unhappy with the state of things. Are you one of those just hoping it will all sort itself out? Are you waiting for someone to save you?

Scared people who are already victims of fascism don’t benefit from a conversation like this. Go find a disabled person to laugh at or something. You’re fucking blocked.
Wow.
Hey, block me, too!
Are you also a victim blaming amoral sadist?
