Texas barbeque is beef based on the count of all that cattle.

Luckily for you, barbeque in Texas is beef based. So I'd recommend eating some good barbeque.

In the long run, yes.

In the short term, no.

Chinese provincial governments also spent a lot of money building out photovoltaic production capacity as part of their way to meet their GDP goals. With the property market crash still working its way through the Chinese economy, China needs to sell solar panels to keep its market afloat.

Not that it is a bad thing that China has a financial incentive to make more solar panels, just noting that there are more direct economic reasons for China to go all renewables.

And Trump lost 2020 with about the same number of voters.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah. If you look at the overall votes between 2020 and 2024, Trump's count barely moved. In contrast, Harris saw a collapse in votes compared to Biden.

Theme parks is really only an Orlando thing. A large chunk of tourist Florida is hotels by the beach.

I feel like those who end up in your position end up one of two ways.

You know that you don't have a safety net, so you don't spend money more than you need to. Also, since it sounds like you support your family significantly, a lot of money that would go to vacations instead goes to them.

For others, money was an on/off switch; you either have it or you don't. These kinds of people will spend at or above their means because they can and there aren't any hard limits due to a lot of credit options.

Any reason why in particular?

What kind of tourist traps?

Egypt is the kind of country where I want to see things in it, but I kind of want to get the sanitized experience if I go there.
