Unfortunately, 16 women die per week from pregnancy complications across the USA. Two a week from Texas would be the expected number from that data.

I wouldn’t believe government figures any day.

Especially under the MAGA IRANGE ARSEHOLE!

I doubt it, hence the disclaimer at the bottom.

Imagine a career criminal. Who never utters a word of truth, starting his own social media called TRUTH!

Hmmm…..who’s the bullshitter?

I’m trying to remember, who is that owns “X”? Is there any possibility of an agenda here?

Seriously, how does anyone determine the honest and genuine truth anymore in this sickening atmosphere of unrelenting lies and deception?

“Florida beach cities ‘ghost towns’, local businesses down 30% this summer. Has the Sunshine State lost appeal forever?”

“ With over 825 miles of sandy beaches, Florida’s reputation as the perfect summer holiday destination has always been considered unshakeable. But this year, some business owners along the coast say the typical summer boom failed to materialize.

"Spring Break, really never happened for us, and then the summer swing, never happened for us," says Kirsten Smail, a marine educator for Dolphin Quest told ABC Action News. “It’s a ghost town,” confirmed Amber Simmons, General Manager at Pirates Pub & Grub. "It's the slowest year we've had since 2020."

“Preliminary April numbers from Statistics Canada, the nation’s data office, found 1.2 million Canadians returned by car from the United States, a 35.2 percent drop from April 2024. Statistics Canada said it was the fourth consecutive month of year-over-year declines.

The Canadian office also said in a May 12 news release that return trips by air from the U.S. were down 19.9 percent in the April-to-April comparisons. The statistics did not detail where Canadians had traveled.

Earlier this month, the Travel and Tour World news site reported that leisure and business travel from Canada was being reshaped amid diplomatic tensions. That included cutting air routes to cities such as San Francisco, Miami, New York and Washington and shifting capacity to Europe.”

Could it be that a lot of Americans cringe at the thought of traveling abroad, where they are now likely to face scorn and ridicule from the natives of other countries? And thus turn to a domestic destinations like Florida?

What is the OP's theory for why Florida tourism is up?

Reports show many foreign tourists are avoiding America due to the extraordinary demands for TIPS!

I saw a report a business man posted his restaurant receipt.

Several people dined, bill was around 1300 Dollars, 22% service charge, and there was a line asking for extra TIP????

That is nothing but daylight robbery!

We are in Switzerland now, bills included everything.

No place for tips.

Your choice if you wish to leave a tip.

Japan is like that too, Saeed. No tipping.

If you offer a tip, the person is likely to think you're trying to bribe them to do something wrong.

THE MAGA ARSEHOLE’s BIMBO…

Is faking numbers to please him!

The statistics and reporting on Florida tourism 2025 says FL tourism has declined compared to 2024.

My first search:

Florida tourism has experienced a decline in 2025, with specific areas like Fort Myers and Palm Beach seeing significant drops in visitor numbers. While some sources indicate a general decline, others point to a shift in the type of tourism, with fewer international visitors and a greater reliance on domestic travelers. Various factors, including political rhetoric, safety concerns, and natural disasters, have contributed to this trend.

Another search, same AI, for 2024 :

Excerpt:

No, tourism in Florida is not down overall. In fact, Florida has achieved record-breaking tourism numbers in 2024 , marking the sixth time it has broken its own record under Governor DeSantis's administration.

Here's one article published August 20, 2025, that says it's based on updated info, supposedly including 2nd quarter data. But many article's publish date are only a day or two ago, so they too should include 2nd quarter, yet report different stats.

What is happening in America in this regard is just plane shameful.

Pay a fair wage to your employees!

A customer should know before hand what he is paying.

Not forced to pay more at the end!
