re: Key West to ban most cruise ships

Not sure how you arrived at this conclusion: part time residents are likely NOT registered to vote in KW, and these measures were enacted by the voters.
Key west is comprised of many multiple home homeowners. For property tax reasons they have to register to vote in KW to maintain a homestead exemption and other benefits of being labeled residents. Having no income tax is another incentive to label the second home as a primary home. Because many of these people aren’t in KW during election season they mail in their ballots. KW has always had a long history of mail in votes. Crazy enough, most business owners in Key West reside outside of the city where property is cheaper and it’s easier to have a yard and a boat in the backyard. Most of them couldn’t vote in this election, even though when the property taxes get raised the commercial property they own will get hit the hardest.

Over-tourism has become a problem. Part of it is the worlds middle class has grown. In 2019 over 1 billion people traveled internationally. Twenty years ago people didn’t have the resources to do such a thing. I was in Italy in 2019 and the cruise ship travel there is a problem. They put to much pressure on an already crowded place. The bus tours coming from all over were equally as bad in some places.
Still it was the part time residents of Key West who sunk the cruise ships. The people who live and work in KW, who have skin in the game were against it.

The port fees to the local government go all long way that will now need to be subsidized another way
The city passed the budget for next year without having to raise taxes but they will have to next year. They cut nine police officer positions and made lots of other budget cuts.
The city would collect $10.50 for every passenger on the boat. With over 950k passengers that is quite a lot of money.

This will have an economic impact, though, to their own citizens.
It's about $90 million per year. In 2019 965k passengers visited KW for an average of about 7-8 hours per visit. The average passenger spends about $75 while in town. The city collects $10.50 per passenger dockage fee from the cruiseline. The ban passed easily.

Wall Street sees Biden as predictable and not volatile like Trump. They want stability and no drama. They don’t believe he will go full progressive and get all the tax increases. They don’t care about manufacturing anything in the US or restricting illegal immigration. They don’t care about flyover country, just making money for themselves.
The market won’t like it if there appears to be a month long process of figuring out the election. If there is a clear winner the market won’t care much. No serious financial advisor ever suggests cash as a safer and better long term position. Time in the market is better than trying to time the market.

I have to work with people from both parties for my job. I’ve heard more than a few times from people within the party that many republicans feel like they have a Trump problem. He wins this election he can prove them all wrong, even if it’s a razor thin victory.

Where is the outrage.
Still this? If it wasn’t for Covid this election would be an after thought. It ls a weird hill to choose to die on.

I think NOVA just needs to merge with DC and let them have those electoral votes, so the rest of the real Commonwealth can be red like it's intended to be.
Didn’t we already do this during the last civil war?
Breaking off the western part of MD and the western part of VA and combining them with WVA would raise the EC number and create a fairly strong conservative base. It has to suck living in a state where your whole region is negated by a smaller region hundreds of miles away.

Very true and it’s sort of basic economics. If you wind up in the villages when you are retired you did something horribly wrong during your working life. It’s mostly supermarket employees and retired bus drivers from the northeast.

The snow birds in South Florida vote blue but the snow birds in Central Florida vote red. Places like the villages are very red.

I’m in Aspen and there are Biden signs everywhere. I have seen Trump signs, but only a couple. The wife asked why so many “rich” people vote Democrat, and the only thing I can honestly think is that these “rich” people have no idea what it is like to live as normal citizens. I can understand the people that are poor, and just want free shite because they honestly believe it will help them out. I can also understand the people that want free shite because they don’t want to work hard.
Do some of y’all believe it is fake virtue signaling by the “rich democrats” because they know that a Socialist government will broaden the gap between the rich and the middle class? Or are they just clueless?
The area where I live in both states are the same way even though one state is red and the other is blue. It’s weird. It’s also how they say Biden is way ahead amongst college educated people and Trump has the uneducated vote.

The less ignorant, uninformed people voting, the better.
Why is the assumption that because they are mostly black and hispanic they are ignorant and uninformed? Aren’t blacks and hispanics voting R in record numbers? Don’t turn them away now.

On this day in 2016 Trump was +300 in the gambling market. Today he is +188. 67% of the bets coming in we’re on Trump but the action has moved.
