A lot of factors were mentioned in this story about the decrease in travel. The blinders are on, however, regarding Texas’ politics and brutal heat, which are just as important reasons for the decrease in tourism.
Friends and relatives in other states give those reasons to not visit the Lone Star State.
No one wants to walk or dine outside during 100-degree heat. In the summer, many throughout the country try to escape the heat.
Politically, Texas’ association with President Donald Trump turns off a lot of people. The selective invocation of Christianity in support of far-right politics by Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Attorney General Ken Paxton leaves a bad taste.
Climate change is real, and Texas policies make this reality worse. Drought and heat are not big attractions for people on vacation.
San Antonio needs to rethink itself in view of all current realities. The pandemic is long gone, so stop blaming it.
The halcyon days of the ’70s and ’80s are also gone. The city’s primary investment in tourism must change if it is to survive.
After the latest revelations from the Express-News, U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales should give his constituents the courtesy of resigning immediately.
Why should people in his district have such a compromised individual represent them? Why should Gonzales serve out his term in such disgrace?
If the United States is serious about finding UFOs, we must think outside the box.
A UFO may not be in the image of our current ideas. It may also be void of mass, thus not be limited to moving at less than the speed of light.
It’s statistically probable that life as we know it exists in the universe. However, travel through the universe is unrealistic when limited by the speed of light.
I suggest a UFO could be in the form of magnetic waves. Therefore, it would be capable of moving through our universe, structures and people unseen and unfelt.
Such a UFO may only be visible as it slows and may communicate in an aura not currently known by our scientists. We know that magnetic waves exist and travel throughout the universe.
The existence of UFO must be further explored to answer the questions about them.
