Haha believe me, I am about as far from the stereotypical loud entitled American tourist as you can get. My philosophy is that if I vacation in a foreign country, I am a guest, and I want to be a good guest.

I already responded to you but I wanted to add

i saw you considering Vietnam, that seems extreme just to go to a beach, dont get me wrong i wanna visit one day but that’s so much money JUST to go to a beach.

Look, I really like beaches, okay

But on a more serious note, this goes a bit further than “just to go to a beach.” What I have in mind is a once-in-a-lifetime trip: not just a vacation, but the best vacation I could possibly have given my means and moral principles. And the only place for my ideal vacation is a tropical beach.

Bold of them to cater to the furry market

Nice, thanks! Even if I don’t end up going to Vietnam, I learned something cool today.

Sorry, I was not aware! Please don’t take it as anything more than good-natured ribbing, I appreciate all you do for this site

Half a century ago, when Marx was writing Capital, free competition appeared to the overwhelming majority of economists to be a “natural law”. Official science tried, by a conspiracy of silence, to kill the works of Marx, who by a theoretical and historical analysis of capitalism had proved that free competition gives rise to the concentration of production, which, in turn, at a certain stage of development, leads to monopoly. Today, monopoly has become a fact. Economists are writing mountains of books in which they describe the diverse manifestations of monopoly, and continue to declare in chorus that “Marxism is refuted”. But facts are stubborn things, as the English proverb says, and they have to be reckoned with, whether we like it or not. The facts show that differences between capitalist countries, e.g., in the matter of protection or free trade, only give rise to insignificant variations in the form of monopolies or in the moment of their appearance; and that the rise of monopolies, as the result of the concentration of production, is a general and fundamental law of the present stage of development of capitalism.

Can’t say this is the answer I wanted to hear, but I appreciate the honesty and analysis. Thanks!

Never heard of this place! I’ll check it out.

This is good info, thanks!

Do you have any dietary requirements?

I’ll check it out, thanks!

Ooh, that seems like a good pick. How much Vietnamese would I need to know to get by?

It’s been requested a couple of times but @WhyEssEff@hexbear.net won’t do it

I’m imagining something like :industrial-capitalism:

This is actually a mechanic for determining base mission pay in Shadowrun (though in Shadowrun you also get karma for good guy missions)

Corporate America is hellish for anybody except maybe sociopaths, but being in any way neurodivergent definitely makes it a hundred times worse.
