The deeper we go into Trump 2.0, the more the pain is going to be felt by his base, such as the tourist towns mentioned above. They will never change their loyalty to Trump, but they're going to feel the pain of his actions anyway. As others have written, they're literally going to be dying (or at least suffering) to own the libs. Hope they're happy flying and posting those fading Trump flags and signs while their little towns just dry up and fall further into decay and decline because of the actions of Dear Leader and his administration. MAGA, baby!

I’m reading an article in Adirondack Explorer. It’s focused on Essex County, which is the most populous county in the Adirondacks and one of only two counties wholly inside the Park.

Their stats are mostly for traditional overnight stays (hotels, motels, inns).
  • One overnight stay represents $537 in total spending (lodging, dining, shopping, etc.) and $21 in sales tax
  • 2024 was a record year for traditional lodging in Essex County; 15% of that increase is attributed to the eclipse
  • 36.5% of every dollar spent in Essex County comes from outside of it
  • In late February, Tourism Economics changed its forecast from 9% growth to 5% decline.
  • For websites that promote the Adirondacks, Canadian traffic is down 40%
The Adirondacks are likely AT LEAST as Trumpian as the Finger Lakes.

Trump is bad for business.

It's the passing the bar thing. Graduating law school is just part of the process.

I have a friend that was on the Board of Law Examiners in NC for years. After some of the stories I heard, I'm not totally surprised. Some pretty shaky people get past that as well.

My former FIL passed the bar and “practiced” law in rural Kansas back in the 80s-90s. He never attended law school and was self taught

Reading law instead of going to law school was once fairly common. Apparently you still can in at least four states.

Yes, there are a few states where you can take the bar exam without graduating from law school. Specifically, California, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington allow individuals to qualify for the bar exam through a "reading the law" or apprenticeship program, where they study under a practicing attorney or judge instead of attending law school
 
I think it still true in Wisconsin that if you graduate from UW or Marquette Law -you good to go-no bar exam
Back in the 90s there was still a Judge in NC -last name Jones, down east somewhere, that never went to Law school
I only know because his son got a political patronage job in my Dept and he told us

Westernport mayor criticizes FEMA's denial of disaster aid after severe flooding

The Mayor of Westernport, Maryland, is speaking out about the Federal Government’s refusal to approve disaster assistance after devastating floods in her town.

The Mayor of Westernport, Maryland, is speaking out about the federal government’s refusal to approve disaster assistance after devastating floods in her town.

Maryland was notified last week that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) had denied Maryland Governor Wes Moore’s request for a disaster declaration.


...

Mayor Hamilton agrees with Moore. She says her town met all criteria for disaster aid, and she believes this was a political decision.

“I’m a republican,” says Hamilton. “We’re a red part of the state they supported Trump. I think that’s where a lot of people are feeling angry that he’s turned their back on a part of the state that was very supportive of him in the election.”
 
"Don't get me wrong I am proud of my vote for punching people in the dick, I just don't understand why my dick is being punched."

sorry that cam eout wrong, I meant to say:

"I am voting for the guy who wants to get rid of the cheap labor that keeps my business afloat, but doesn't he understand by musiness is going to sink when he does what he said he would do?

You cant even tabulate the irony of that article. The attack was "unprovoked"....well maybe the buffalo knew he was about to be murdered so it was self defense.

The dead man "spent every spare second with his daughter"....well except all the time he spent globe trotting murdering animals for sport.

The only issue I have with the situation is that the article indicated he was killed instantly. I find that part a little sad. He should have gotten more of his money's worth from the experience.
