Vacation and phones

[Golbez]

[color=green]Probably better to pick a resort in the US or Europe as an example where current earning differentials are not quite so enormous and which may have some resemblence in a post revolutionary set up to the way they are run today. </font color=green> <br> <br>Okay - the best example I can think of is Monaco. The city-state's income is almost completely from tourism (for resort, for gambling, for racing, etc... it's amazing what they fit in that little city). It has a standard of living (based on per-capita GDP) easily on par with the rest of Western Europe. <br> <br>[color=green]Finally Golbez 'replied' to me with some bizarre bit about goods coming from mexico city but people from mexico city not wanting to go to Cancun. I have no idea what this point is about, unless the idiot imagines anarchists favour a return to barter! </font color=green> <br> <br>Yeah, hi, ya know, I can hear you when you talk out loud. And people think I'm the troll? [img]/wwwthreads/images/icons/mad.gif[/img] <br> <br>You said: [color=blue]If so then they will be providing a useful service and so entitled to import the goods needed to keep that service going. </font color=blue> What I took issue with was the "entitled to import" part. Why is a tourist trap more "entitled to import" than any other region? And, if they aren't, then why even mention an entitlement?

it should be noted that the poster "Golbez" is a self-admitted liar and a self-admitted asshole. <br> <br>his one and only purpose in participating on these forums is antagonization. <br> <br>this is to be expected from a supporter of capitalism and zionism. <br> <br>YMMV, but it's doubtful.

andrewflood - Sorry, I didn't see your original post about this, but I have a question. What do you mean by localism being a trap? Do you mean it's not possible for every community to produce everything the people there need? <br> <br>It seems to me that some communities would not actually be able to directly produce what they need, but they would be able to produce enough to trade with other communities to cover what they don't produce. So they wouldn't be self-sufficient in isolation, but would not have to be subsidized by some external donor. <br> <br>I think a vacation spot would fall into this category, since its location would not primarly be productive (in terms of arable land, etc.). However, it seems to me that the people to keep it running would be the people who are there - both residents and visitors. <br> <br>You mentioned universities. Could you describe how you see those functioning? (If it's not too off-topic.) <br> <br>

[color=blue] falls into the localist trap. 9The idea that every small area should be self sufficent). </font color=blue> <br> <br>I see nothing wrong with ensuring all bioregions are self-sufficient. Actually, it can be quite beneficial.

When the leave is for the whole family will create memories that last a lifetime. Planning is important to take the joy of a family vacation, and it is important to do something for everyone. Consider these ideas for a family vacation to travel, everyone loves it. Tropical holidays are the perfect holiday for everyone. There is so much to see and do as well as a joy just to relax on the beach. Stay at a family resort with activities for all ages, and activities for the whole family to participate together. Family Resort is ideal, because there are other families and children, beach life and a way for yourself.

what if there was simply a volenteer group that housed and feed 'tourist' these 'tourists' could do the same thing in their hometowns, or work in the 'tourist dstination'. or there is the option like 'couchsurfing' where you have people come stay at your house and visa versa
