  • I don't think it is common. I just know it happens.

    The process looks like this..

    Sort of a good example because it happens to be a traveler going into the United States for vacation, 5 weeks, 1.5k cash, but still denied entry. They always ask for purpose of entry, what itinery looks like, funds, etc.

    There's tons of backpackers, as a one bagger myself, I've never had trouble. I think its when you may have limited/no accommodations plus other factors: stories not lining up, limited funds, no/limited knowledge of itinerary, etc. That gets people in trouble. I think most people know where they are going, what for, and how they are going to do it.

    Even as a US citizen I'm happy I'm not traveling internationally for a while though. Seems most people are free game regardless to CBP, citizen or not 🤮

  • I was responding to the original comment above : "Having not fully booked your accommodation for the entire trip could get you denied entry to the US before Trump. Just saying. Especially if you aren’t white. Same with not having an outbound ticket."

    Not to the strip searching, abuse, etc.

    I agree it is absolutely heinous what is happening in the US and I wouldnt travel here either but the process of denying entry for a combination of limited/no accommodations, limited funds, varying answers, etc does lead to denial of entry in some countries.

  • It's not the only thing. It's a combination of limited/no living accommodations and no income. If you don't have the income to stay for 5 weeks for example, they will send you back.I'm talking like going to Australia or US with just $500 or something for 5 weeks. I can cite some episodes when I get off work today and you can see the process.

  • A lot of people I work with have them and love them, especially the newer Google Folds and Samsung ones. Multitasking is great on it and the quality doesn't seem bad. These newer flip or fold options have gone a long way in quality over the past few years. If I could afford I would love one but I really don't value phones that much.

  • I unfortunately believe it may play some role too for some voters. There are Americans who still embrace their cultures, where there is an emphasis more on men being in charge. Think of some middle eastern cultures for example. And of course, there's the sexists.

    Sad reality also is there is a lot of racism still within our country...

  • This is what I do too except mine is StoryGraph. I sometimes look at what other users in community are reading, look those books up and try.

    Libby too has recommendations from my local libraries. I check those out.

  • Not every Tesla is 80k. Model 3s are everywhere in California. Regardless, vandalism isnt the answer. I know so many here that hate driving their Tesla now but still need a car. Their two choices likely are to sell the car for nothing or continue driving it. Not a lot of people can take the hit of selling the car for such a loss and replacing it. Not a lot of people are that privileged to do so including Tesla drivers.

    New Tesla car buyers I do judge though and think those are free game.
