Actually a weak dollar is not always a detriment as it allows other countries to purchase more of our products as their money went farther, and also brings in more tourism as the other counties visitors are getting more bang for their buck'. I personally experienced this while working at Bahia Honda State Park in the FL Keys back in the 90s.
**During the 1990s, Florida did experience a significant increase in international tourism, and a **
**weak U.S. dollar played a role in this growth****. **
**Here's why:**
* **Increased purchasing power:**** A weaker dollar means that foreign visitors could get more for their money in Florida.**
* **Theme parks and attractions:**** Places like Orlando were particularly successful in attracting international tourists, who sought out the theme parks and benefited from the favorable exchange rate.**
* **Florida's appeal:**** Even with a weaker dollar, Florida's inherent appeal " warm weather, beaches, and attractions " remained strong, enticing visitors from around the globe. **
**Overall, the combination of a weak U.S. dollar and the strong appeal of Florida as a tourist destination contributed to the rise of international tourism in the state during the 1990s. weak U.S. dollar played a role in this growth**.

With President Trump in office the world is far, far less interested in experiencing Americana, imo.

Does he exude "come hither" vibes to you? Must be his new diaper spray. It's for sale, but I'm not certain how to translate rubles into yuan then into dollars and then into crypto. My checks have still have Darth Vader stamped on them because monetary responsibility cannot risk any lack of faith, no chip, no cap.:]

Hedging your bets that people aren't deterred by the immigration abductions and guns, guns, guns in every racist truck-nut enthusiasts meth lab is weak sauce.

More trade? For what? Spoiled produce? With "tariffs" which are actually trade deficits that already exist and just raising our prices and that makes people spend more, thus more "trade"? WFT is wrong with you!?

The dollar worth less while prices increase is MAGA idiocy.

So, it must be for weapons contracting. THAT should prove lucrative so long as MAGA allows it.

Either way, the exponentially devalued currency can't afford association with America. The dollar may have to expatriate.

Delicious, refreshing successful grifting. "Have a dirty joke and a smile.. in nine years you'll look back and laugh."

Rod Stewart - Young Turks

Billy left his home with a dollar in his pocket
And a head full of dreams
He said "Somehow, someway
It's gotta get better than this"
Patti packed her bags
Left a note for her mama
She was just seventeen
There were tears in her eyes
When she kissed her little sister goodbye

They held each other tight
As they drove on through the night
They were so excited
We got but one shot at life
Let's take it while we're still not afraid
Because life is so brief
And time is a thief when you're undecided
And like a fistful of sand
It can slip right through your hands

Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
Don't let 'em put you down
Don't let 'em push you 'round
Don't let 'em ever change your point of view

Paradise was closed
So they headed for the coast in a blissful manner
They took a two-room apartment
That was jumping every night of the week
Happiness was found in each other's arms
As expected, yeah
Billy pierced his ears
Drove a pickup like a lunatic, ooh!

Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
Don't let 'em put you down
Don't let 'em push you 'round
Don't let 'em ever change your point of view
Come on, babe

Young hearts, be free tonight
Time is on, on your side

Billy wrote a letter back home
To Patti's parents tryin' to explain
He said: "We're both real sorry
That it had to turn out this way"
But there ain't no point in talking
When there's nobody listening
So we just ran away
Patti gave birth to a ten-pound baby boy, yeah

Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side
Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side
Young hearts be free tonight, time is on your side

Young hearts gotta run free
Be free, live free
Time is on, time is on your side
Time, time, time, time is on your side
Is on your side
Is on your side
Is on your side
Young heart be free tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, yeah
