Re: The US and Canada

I find this kind of annoying myself. The last time I entered the UK, on my German passport, the kiosk rejected me and I had to go to the booth. The officer told me it was because I entered my US...

Re: The US and Canada

i know this won't be a popular view, but I've always thought that a DUI without accident or injury should be treated as a petty offense. I'm not a fan of how this has become heavily criminalised in...

Re: Airline Finances

I think even the current DOJ would take issue with further consolidation among the big players in the US. A bankruptcy could shake things up, though. I hear American is a financial disaster, but I'm...

Re: Airline Finances

As bad as this sounds given the inevitable job losses, we will see some consolidation in the European market, which is badly needed. The US market is already pretty consolidated, though. At any rate,...

Re: The US and Canada

That's true of almost every developed country. I believe Germany's fertility rate is about 1.44 children per woman when last I checked. Even the US has fallen below replacement, I believe. I think...

Re: The US and Canada

Cost of living also varies widely, of course.

I read some time ago that Vancouver had finally cracked down on non-resident homeowners buying up the housing stock. I wish the US and the UK would...

Re: The US and Canada

Ha. I lived in California for many years, and I find it hard to think of it as a shining beacon of very much. 😅 But I take your point. My impression from the numbers is that the median American...

It's interesting. I don't want to get political here, I'm not passing judgment. I have heard people with different priorities say different things. I have a friend in Toronto with relatives in...

Re: The US and Canada

So interesting, thanks. I have heard from acquaintances that the US laws on this subject are relatively vague, and so you are in Big Brother's hands from the very beginning. Perhaps it is a bit more...

Re: The US and Canada

I'll add that one reason for my interest is that, when I was a kid in the '90s, crossing the border was easy enough that you could be excused for thinking of it as one country. Nowadays the situation...

Re: Covid Travel Question.

I haven't been on in a while and in reading this thread, I see how noxious this whole situation is for so many people. My condolences to you and to everyone in a similar situation.

Re: UK introducing 14 day quarantine

I'll note also that there has been a lot of talk over here about all passengers needing to wear masks while in the airport. I'm not sure that has been implemented yet, but it's something to be aware...

Re: UK introducing 14 day quarantine

I'm not arguing anything, I don't have a horse in this race. I have seen the logarithmic graphs comparing the UK numbers to the US and to other European countries. There appears to be a similar...

Re: UK introducing 14 day quarantine

Yeah, it's pretty bleak. Never mind that New Zealand is a country of five million people more than 1000 miles from the nearest landmass, whereas we find ourselves on an island of many tens of...

Re: UK introducing 14 day quarantine

The media has been reporting today that the government has essentially said that non-essential international travel is off the cards this summer anyway.

Luckily the weather has been mostly nice...

Re: UK introducing 14 day quarantine

Yeah, I was wondering how the Common Travel Area fit into this. I know that the Republic of Ireland already opted out of Schengen border closures in order to keep the border with NI open.

Re: UK introducing 14 day quarantine

There has also been reporting that France will be exempt based on reciprocal agreement. So, one assumes, we can head down there and enjoy all of their closed shops, bars, and hotels instead of our...

Re: U.S ban foreign visitors who have been to China within the last 2 weeks.

I'm planning on traveling to Poland this weekend from the UK, changing in Sweden outbound and Denmark inbound. I'm still assuming I don't have any risk of being put into a Polish quarantine (or...

Re: U.S ban foreign visitors who have been to China within the last 2 weeks.

Quebec is ridiculous – I don't know that Germany has an equivalent of the OQLF (the Quebec "language police"), or even the Tourbon Law in France. I do know that Standard German is the official...

Re: U.S ban foreign visitors who have been to China within the last 2 weeks.

Sadly, I read that there was a big spike in deaths in China today. It's worrying, but as I'm no epidemiologist, I can't say what the significance of this is for the degree to which the government...
