I'm American and took my wife through NM and AZ in 2013. Now? No way. Why travel to a country to live in fear of idiocratic gun-toting MAGA road rage. BTW, I think you mean avoidable.

BTW: How I made money in Las Vegas in 1979. Driving cross country from NY to LA to attend UCLA grad school I and my Israeli travel buddy stopped in Las Vegas around midnight. In the downtown casino I fed 25 nickels into the one-armed bandit, which brought me 20 quarters. I then looked around at all the people feeding much larger amounts into slots and asked a simple question: whose money built this casino? Answer: not mine and I stopped. Lesson? Always take the other side of what dumb money is trading.

22 years later I bought gaming software stocks, Acres Gaming and Multimedia Games and became the house.

Now I have TSLA and index (SPLG) puts.

When Michael Lewis says Wall St is an ecosystem for systematically transferring wealth from the weak to the strong, listen.
