A tragic Missouri ranking was republished amid the doldrums of the Winter news cycle . . .
Remember that we talked this story in NOVEMBER 2017.
Now it's news fact for the rest of the local "journalists" behind the times:
Travel website advises against visiting Missouri - St. Louis Business Journal
Travel website Fodor's named Missouri one of the 10 places not to visit in 2018. The state, which is the only U.S. destination on the list, came in at No. 7 of 52 destinations worldwide. "The Show-Me State is full of wonders that belong on anyone's travel bucket list," the ranking said.
You decide . . .
OK Let's examine each of these reasons cited in the article linked to:
ReplyDelete1. SB 43 makes it more difficult for employees to sue their employer for discrimination.
That's not applicable to tourists.
2. Some state representative said "homosexuals aren't humans".
Does anyone going vacationing to another state really base their decision on where or where not to go based on what some local politician said? If so, none of us would go anywhere.
3. The tourist got lost...
Here's the article Fodors links to
https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/missouri/articles/2017-05-10/prosecutor-remove-missouri-sheriff-involved-in-inmate-death
I won't cover the whole story (you can read it). But it sounds like it wasn't "found murdered in his jail cell without being placed under arrest" like Fodors is claiming.
4. The Muslim shooting.
That happened in Olathe, KS.
Actually, there have been repeated attacks against Muslims in Missouri.
ReplyDeleteBut I think avoiding this state for tourism is more advisable because it's boring and the people are miserable. That is reason enough.
I think Missouri is a terrible place for black people to visit. Also, the black people who live in Missouri should all move away as soon as possible.
ReplyDeleteBut what about the American Negro problem?
ReplyDeleteIt’s worse in Missouri. That’s why it is recommended that black people move elsewhere.
DeleteMuslims should leave the state as well. It is not good for them in Missouri.
ReplyDeleteMost Muslims are negros
DeleteSo Forbes told us so, not you.
ReplyDeleteWHERE'S THE RAGE, BUDDY??? WHERE'S THE DIAPER FILLING RAGE???

RAGE
DeleteToo bad there isn’t a travel advisory for millenials here.
ReplyDeleteDo not, I repeat, Do not move to KCMO. Regressive and obsolete taxes and HORRIBLE roads. They are slowly killing all retirees.
ReplyDeleteYou mean they figured out blacks hate other blacks
ReplyDeleteMissouri is a shithole. Unsafe for visitors at any speed.
ReplyDeleteDo yourself a favor, visit somewhere fun.
How will this affect KCMO’s 25 million annual tourists? Will the trolley have to shut down?
ReplyDeleteI hope the blacks heed this warning to stay the hell out of Missouri, I hope the ones living here move out too!!!

ReplyDeleteGlad to see some people are saying to avoid our state. Blacks, muslims etc. But one group was left out, and that is people from California. Keep Missouri clean, go back to California. I will be the first to say, you are not welcome here!
Well , please don’t come to Kansas either. It’s not safe here and there isn’t much for you to do here either. So just go anywhere other than Kansas. Ok?
ReplyDeleteI have noticed there are significantly less boons peddling drugs and hookers in I-70 rest stops lately.
