Guest Post: Solo Travel May Be Booming, But the Industry Still Rewards Couples

We’re pleased to share this guest contribution by Timothy - Trip by Trip, offering insights into tourism trends in the Netherlands and how international travel patterns are evolving. His perspective highlights both the growing appeal of Dutch destinations and the changing preferences of modern travelers. Twenty years ago, solo travel still carried a faint social stigma in much of the travel industry. Hotels routinely penalised single guests with 'single supplements', tour operators […]

Just checking that we all understand this: the world isn't ruled by #governments any more, it's the #multinationals and their #oligarch owners who are grabbing everything before there's nothing left to grab, are looking to save themselves and a few loyal slaves/footsoldiers (soon to be replaced by robots, AI etc) and the rest of us are entirely dispensable.
They know the #breakdown of #civilisation is coming; they've known for #decades. Hence the #PrivateIslands #Stockades and #Bunkers

@jeffcliff
Anything to distract ppl while they kill ppl. We suppose.

Imagining the #oligarchs on their #privateIslands going, "What can we do to create an new entertaining war?" and how much do we pay Mr Starlink for this birds-eye-view of it?"

@Thesamnode @LearnTribe @samuraikid
The bigger problem than the forced sale of property will be that the #oligarchs seem to be hoping for a #civilWar.

They have bought #yachts, #privateIslands, and possibly mercenary cops who grew weary during #GeorgeFloyd protests.

This appears to be what they are banking on. Signalling even. One falseflag #cyberattack to blame the next stockMarket crash on and they'll be off the hook again. And will watch the chaos remotely.

(see also the 2019 #RepoCrisis)

The #massline is, it's good for us and science.

But a big part of #spaceExploration involves building #autonomousDrones that can reliably traverse, surveil and collect items from far away places.

Why on earth (pun intended) would they need to throw money at that?

We will be facing much bigger threats than even #ClimateChange, like the post-#Peakoil collapse.

Expect the #extremelyWealthy to barracade themselves from the rest of us.

That's when things will really get ugly. Think #privateIslands, #droneWarfare, #radiationWarfare, #massSurveillance on every street corner and every #workSite.

That's when we really need to be worried. We need to fight for #humanity in an #energy depleted future?

@bohofromthegetgo
Yes. For the #powerElite, it has been a most convenient crisis, affects #blackPeople at a much higher rate than others.

Also a great distraction from the #JulianAssange case, criminalising #journalism.

We wrote about this recently. If memory serves our toot about the #repoScandal covers how power benefitting from #COVID19

Seems to be an excuse for #extremeSurveillance so we can be controlled from their #privateIslands by #AI.

@b9AcE
Seeing protestor remove protective gear from police is a very powerful.

The right to an #abortion is the right to live your life.

In the same breathe we need to be aware that the #CEOs are buying up spaces in #bugOutLocations like #privateIslands. They're likely hiring the most brutal #police at bargain prices.

Stay vigilant. Our thoughts are with you.

@realcaseyrollins
They're going to get out of the #cities and head to the #coasts and #privateIslands fairly soon.

Could #OccupyTheHamptons be what we are about to see?
