TCWD Podcast: America, Abroad

golden visas, cruise ships, and everyone thinks they are Anthony Bourdain

Please, Americans, before you leave the country: check your luggage for any stray weaponry you may have in there! You never know, you may have stashed a hand grenade in there for a boys night out, completely forgotten it was in there when you later packed some t-shirts and cargo shorts for your romantic island getaway with your wife, and you’ll have to explain yourself to a police officer who doesn’t understand the casual relationship Americans have to the weapons of war! Some guy in Turks and Caicos was arrested for having “loose ammunition” in his bag, and this is not the first time this has happened.

Is the world finally getting sick of America’s shit? Will our instability convince the world to put some limits on our sense of entitlement to go wherever we want? Probably not, but we consider the difficulties of America encountering the world in our latest episode. Audio below or in the usual podcast places. Shownotes and references after the paywall.

Americans love Venice so much they’re going to make sure no one in the future ever gets to see it
