That's what I mean; only hotels could verify this information, but I haven't heard it from them. I suspect that even if it were true that reservations are down, the hotels wouldn't benefit from spreading that kind of news, so they wouldn't. It's not wise to tell masses of people that "my industry is not doing
good because now is a bad time to visit my establishment." (There's no business sense in making an announcement like that.)

But the media and certain members of both of our governments would enjoy making statements like that.

I don't know what you mean by "the most immediate benefits might go to what multi-millionaires pay in taxes." What do you mean?

Also, I don't understand how losing 1.9 million jobs will make prices go up. What's the scenario that makes that possible?

Not that I feel good about people losing their jobs, but it's just that there's such a thing as too much bureaucracy here in the states, like the department of transgender animal surgeries for example. The chief executive of that department needs to go get a job at McDonald's so he/she/it can contribute to society in a more meaningful way.

I like your outlook on things. I agree with you on this conclusion.
