I believe in the law of unintended consequences.
When the government went on its jihad against corporate travel and perk excess — it would create lots of bad ripples in the travel — tourist based economies. It would hurt tax payers — not help taxpayers. It would hurt hotels; airlines — theme parks — casinos — dining establishments — credit and charge card companies. Who would it help? Politicians that get air time for saying optically correct things; without understanding the unintended consequences of their media stances.
So — here you go — check out this terrific work and the top 20 unemployed communities in America.
I was shocked to see that more than a dozen cities were in just California and Florida; with Las Vegas too — that made for the bulk of the cities. Sad to say — Detroit is number 1 — in unemployment.
But Miami? Tampa? San Francisco? San Diego? Orlando? Las Vegas?
Happy now?
Get out there and travel this holiday season — have some family fun — stimulate the economy. The world is still on sale.
