This will definitely trigger something in Trump, probably sooner rather than later.

I wonder which Star Wars character Trump thinks he is? I think he is Jabba The Hutt.

Some bang-bang in DC again. It’s political because it’s close to the WH.

I believe the gasoline and diesel inventory report is due tomorrow. Interesting to see what that says and whether it’s actually true or not.

You were right to think the WH wouldn’t miss such an opportunity on May 4th. Found this NYT headline and picture…!!

Trump posts social media image of himself as Mandalorian to celebrate ā€˜Star Wars Day’

I’ve never seen a ā€œspecial priceā€ for foreigners before.

Hmm. Calculating revenue for climbing Snowdon in flip flops

All South African National Parks have a price for locals and one for foreign visitors.

Nothing wrong what so ever with that. If you live there and pay taxes, you should ideally get in for a lot cheaper or even free. If you are a foreign tourist you have to pay a lot. Totally fine and imo how it should ideally be everywhere. It depends on how much tourism you want. Maybe you want some, but not a lot. That is fine. That one time ticket is on the steep-side though and I get that the one-time ticket is priced very high, but the annual version isn’t really (but there should be a student’s discount). Imo, if you are a foreigner and you want to make use of someone’'s national park for an entire year, you better be willing to pay 250 dollars.

The event farm at my mother’s place has a version of the same. Locals get in for free (or locals wouldn’t come), everyone who is not a local must pay.

My opinion anyway :wink:
This is imo a much better way to raise money on tourism (aka foreigners) than having insanely costly fees for foreign students (quite common in the West, sadly), because presumably, tourists have more money to spend than students and we also want those bright students from the lower socioeconomic strata.

Good.
South Africa is a poor country all in all, if locals had to pay tourist price few but the elite and foreigners would be able to afford to make use of them.
